Pulled the trigger! Got myself a GTS !

A year or so ago I purchased a Panny S hybrid. Heavily optioned, great interior (4 x 18 way Adaptive seats, espresso brown interior, alcantara headliner, ACC, etc) but the most important thing was missing: no power under the hood.
The same way as no one should drink alcohol free beer, decaffeinated coffee, no Panamera should have a such a small engine.
What bothered me most was the Toyota like engine sound when accelerating. For the year I owned it, I kept my eyes and ears open for a good deal and low and behold, a great deal came up on a 2013 Panny GTS at Porsche of West Broward, 37k miles.
I have not been able to get the smile of my face.
Best car ever. I should have done this last year.
Can't wait to start it up in the a.m and shake up the house!

Beautiful car, I'm sure the jump in power was night and day. I purchased my 981s from Roberto at Porsche West Broward and the whole experience was great

Congratulations.
I had the same experience, had a 3 yr lease on a Panny (2013) hybrid and was very disappointed with the low power. I was able to get out of the lease 6 months early after ordering a new GTS. I'm a very happy camper now, love the car.

X-Pipe

Fabspeed X-pipe makes is sound beasty. I'm very pleased. I wish I could lose those black plastic looking exhaust tips.

get some new exhaust tips. I dont think it should be a big deal to get some online and have a good shop weld them on.
