I picked up my new Taycan GTS Sport Turismo nearly two weeks ago. Only now do I have time to create this thread.
The colour is Mamba Green metallic. Pictures do not do it justice. Of all the colours I've owned on cars, this changes the most in real life depending on the light. I like it best when it's dull and cloudy, as the colour takes on a yellow/green hue, which I think goes better with the red brake calipers. For the interior, I went with Race Tex (alcantara), but added the GTS Interior Package in "Crayon", which adds coloured stitching, and various other elements such as the matt carbon trim inserts. This was needed, IMHO, as the interior could be dull otherwise. I also added extra Race Tex to the B-pillars. I love the Race Tex, and it's nice to go with something other than leather for once (there is leather in the interior, however, on the top of the dashboard, doors, and sides of the seats). A GTS also needs the Race Tex, IMHO.
The GTS comes with a lot of features as standard, such as the Sports Chrono Package, PASM, LED MATRIX headlights, and the Performance Battery Plus, but I added a few nice options also. A few of the important ones are below:
21" RS Spyder matt black rims
Absolutely essential on the GTS. The rims are unique to the GTS, also.
Rear-Axle steering
Also includes the Power Steering Plus, and both options transform the handling from what I experienced in my first Taycan. The GTS also has a unique set up, so it's not solely down to the RAS, but this is an option I absolutely love. The car handles like a hot hatch.
Door sill guards, carbon matt, illuminated
They look superb and very "high-end".
Electric charging cover
Essential, IMHO.
The performance is breathtaking. Official figures 0-100 km/h are 3.7 seconds, but it feels quicker than that. Low 3s, for sure. Even then, the figures don't paint the full picture. The way the power is delivered is shocking. 598hp and 850 Nm of torque make it feel a car weighing no more than 1.5 tonnes.
I've not done any long-distance drives yet (next month), but I'll be interested how the 18-way Sports seats feel after a few hours in the seat. They're extremely snug, but comfortable for half an hour.
I'm extremely happy with the car, and I literally cannot stop looking at it. It drives incredibly well, and is the perfect car to be both a sports car and a family car. I'd keep this over my R8.
