I agree that it’s too pricey. It basically has no extra equipment, just a little more power, and is almost €20K more expensive than the base model (Swedish configurator. In that case, I’d rather just go for the Turbo instead or wait for the GTS.

Its a lot of ££££s for a software switch to release more power unless these are different motors.

Curiously it is 20Kg heavier - different alloys / bigger rear motor (detuned Turbo) (?), slightly better range.

Curious about this new model...I have the base Cayenne model ordered. Think I'm gonna switch to the S as long as the delivery date is not pushed back to far. Have a email into my dealer. Fingers crossed.

The perils of pulling the trigger too soon - the S (and GTS) were always going to surface. I suspect there will be separate allocations for this model so you should get lucky.

So this or stump up for the Turbo. As someone said its a big hike from the Base Model, but then its also a big hike to the turbo. For me in the UK £25k for matching spec S to matching spec Turbo.... but then the bragging rights. Although, I notice there is slighly less boot (trunk) space - is that the bigger motor?

Depends on timing but once again the sweet spot will be the GTS when released - 18 months out is my guess. Add £10K to the S and you'll be close. Either way a lot of rent but supercar performance that you can't really use.

Space - could be the reason suggested.

If worried about bragging - debadging is your friend, just make sure you have the big alloys to keep folk guessing. Sad folk will notice the absence of the PAA plastic deployable flaps at the rear to denote "Turbo".

My dealer just responded....the S will not be released until after the base and turbo have started delivery. Likely late this year or early next. Sticking with my base and maybe later get the S or GTS.
