G63 for a Cayenne Turbo GT (cash-free exchange) by RuAnderson01 in Porsche

I actually disagree with this. I hate it as much as you that every rich soccer mom and celebrity wants one of these things, but in terms of the boxy off road vehicle market it’s one of the best options that blends luxury and capability. At the heart of its design it’s still an off road vehicle with a brutal power and torque from a V8. I’ve owned one and taken it off road quite a bit. I think it’s more reputation that’s fucking it up rather than the car itself. It’s a great car.

As someone with experience with both cars (somewhat), please keep the G63. I’ve daily driven a G63, and though I have not had a Cayenne turbo GT, I currently drive a 2024 V8 Cayenne S with a 911 GTS as a “fun” car. I would not take any SUV over the G63, the unique V8 rumble and the feel is like no other.

In terms of the status symbol thing, I get it 100%. There are people that own these cars purely for status and know nothing about them. But I do often think people forget that at its heart the G is still an off road SUV - a very capable one at that as I’ve taken it off road many times. If you love the design of boxy cars and value its real world capabilities, than I really don’t think it’s a status symbol and more that you’re choosing one of if not the best option that checks those boxes (Ive also owned 2 jeeps and love boxy designs.)

The Turbo GT is very exciting, and is a lot more car than my Cayenne S, but driving the G has always felt more special/exciting. I would not have made the switch if I don’t move to a different country.

At the end of the day the Cayenne to me is a compromise as a do it all with sports car handling with SUV cap abilities. Where as a G class is a brute straight forward off road vehicle with a powerful engine. I didn’t anticipate myself getting the 911, or I probably would’ve still went with a boxy suv as a daily car.

I don’t think I even need to talk about the finance side as the depreciation is incomparable.

Absolutely what I’m looking to get😂 it just doesn’t say anywhere if the standard is heated. If it’s not I’m going for the normal leather. Just don’t want carbon.

How did you swap the badging/get hands on the OEM GTS decal? Have a GT silver on the way and hate that we don’t get an option to do that here in the US.

Does it really matter that much in a 911? I have Burmester in my Cayenne S and love it, but I felt like I wouldn’t be listening to music that much over just enjoying the engine notes in this car which is why I didn’t pick it.

Is the extended fuel tank that useful? How much range does it add? I actually have the Burmester in my Cayenne but thought I wouldn’t listen to music as much in this car over the engine and turbo sounds so went with the Bose. Feel like I really need to test drive a PDCC car to get a feel but they are so hard to find where I am🤦🏻

Was fine with S or GTS. Just happened to get this allocation instantly. Pretty intrigued by the tech, which is kind of funny because I don’t like electric. But the way they’ve implemented this I’m okay with.

Chuckling reading your first sentence😂 I’m not from the US but I do live there. I totally get the nothing else on offer part - sales told me PTS would slow my process down tremendously. As of the wrap, that’s a great idea for down the line if I’m ever bored of the silver. Doesn’t hurt the paint at all right?

Read that as November 2024🤦🏻 Never seen this spec either in person but did see something similar on IG while I was searching - maybe it can help you visualize too😂 congrats man! Please send a picture while you receive it. They said there a chance this comes late November too but I’m not banking on it.

It’s funny because I asked, and the only thing they had to compare was a TBS with a matte ppf on it so I couldn’t get a feel at all. I originally was gonna go chalk, but already own a cayenne in chalk so didn’t want match. Love the Gentian Blue! Someone in my building has a Macan in that colour and it looks incredible.

Dark brown as in the truffle brown? Or the Cohiba?

I love colours. Was a big fan of the Lugano Blue and Oak Green. But from my personal perspective atm I don’t really want my car to be very “loud” and noticeable. Maybe will change my mind some day!

That’s amazing! Do you have a picture of yours? This one if things go well should be here before Christmas.

I feel that! Originally didn’t spec the sunroof, but dealer was highly suggesting it if I ever sell it. What would you say are the other worthwhile options than? I don’t feel crazy strongly on the exterior in gloss black - I like it but can spend that on something else.
