    Thanks! The car came with Goodyear R’s which have been decent so far. I’ll switch to Pirelli Sottozero in a few months when it gets cold here and next summer probably move the Michelin PS4S for best daily drivability.

    Normally it's the "family" Audi RS7 (wicked fast; GREAT sound system!), but when I have to be gone for a while or both of us are on the road separately, then it's the 488 Spider. I never quibble about taking it out. Just a fabulous car.

    Between the 488, the RS7 and my '68 Triumph GT6 convertible Resto-Mod, .... Carbon footprints be damned! (let's appreciate dead dinosaurs while we can) - lol

    I do like your Rolls (sweeet).

    ;-)

    Nice. Turbo is an awesome car. We just finished a 6 week, 10 K mile road trip in our '18 Platinum Edition. Great car for city, road, etc. Enjoy your new Turbo...T

    Wow, that's a heck of a road trip! Totally agree, Cayennes are incredible in nearly any environment. Just did 3 weeks and 2k miles to break mine in through parts of Europe and now waiting for her to come home :)

    Thought about a sleeker sedan, a 911, or a more expensive SUV but the CT is the sweet spot for me

    Did you ever drive or consider the cayenne turbo GT? I’ve been thinking of one for a while. That thing looks pretty amazing.

    I considered the TGT for a split second earlier this year but ultimately decided to go with another Turbo allocation to replace my current one

    For a daily driver it was just too much of a sledgehammer to a fly in my case. I've heard the thing drives on rails and is essentially a 4 seater GT3 with the rear wheel steer and all other performance options as standard, but that's why I have my Speciale in the garage. I don't need my SUV to be too good of a sports car because when I'm in the twisties I want to be in the Ferrari, not a Cayenne. My daily just lazily hauls my butt to groceries, the mall, roadtrips, commute, dinners, etc.. I have never once taken my daily to the canyons or Angeles Crest etc. In fact most of the time in my Turbo I'm already in the laziest settings of comfort mode etc

    I can see the argument on the other side of "why not" if you can afford it, and it does look badass, but for what it's worth you'll lose seating for 5 (TGT will delete rear middle seat no choice), no wood steering wheel option (must for me), wouldn't want a stiffer suspension than what the Turbo already has, and prefer the SUV lines to coupe personally

    YMMV, if considering a TGT I'd also throw the Cayenne GTS Coupe into the mix. I think the GTS is the most popular variant of Cayenne and for good reason!

    Good points all around. I don’t need another SUV but I love getting new rides and am always trolling for what’s next. My f8 is in route now and I just sold my 992 tts and my Taycan 4s and got a paint to sample Taycan turbo S which I love as a daily. I wanted to get my wife the Cayenne turbo so I could drive it but she wanted the new x5 instead which is super boring but at least I don’t care when she curbs the wheels. I hear the Cayenne TGT is only a 1-2 year car so Im really intrigued about it.

    My new ride. I ordered it 12/11/2021 along with a Navigator L Reserve for my wife. It finally showed up Tuesday, we are still waiting for hers. My 458 spider is still my daily though. This is the toy.

    Nice! 350? Platinum trim?

    That's going to be a great ride for road trips.
    Congrats...T
