Surely the non-hybrid Turbo S is the better choice, a tenth of a second faster than the hybrid version but what, 200kg lighter?

What a beauty!!
The Panny would still be my number one choice in this segment, way before the new S-Class, 7er and that turd called A8.

I miss my car
Then get a new one
I'm looking for a used one for myself currently, but still waiting for the right spec to come up. Some cars have weird configuration like Turbo models not having 4 zone climate controls or missing ambient lighting.
In your view what are the must have options?

Are we taking the wagon or the sedan?

Pre-owned Pre-FL Panny GTS is the sweetspot way to go.

I'm taking the sedan, the Sport Turismo looks too bulky and there's no need for extra headroom for me in the back.
Not sure about the GTS, has same price as the Turbo used but its lower on power. I don't see its advantage.

Well must have options then
At least Bose if not burmester
4 zone climate to get rid of that hole in the back.
Light package ( ambient light makes it look fly at night and also very relaxing )
4 point led lights the top tier ones , the standard ones make the front look weak.
Finally sports design package for the right stance.
Bonus panoramic roof, dark rear lights.. and so on.

Boy Porsche are killing you guys in Europe with the À La Carte business. It’s still bad compared to big 3 in the US, but not as serious. l struck gold and found one with every option from dealer 2 years ago. It’s still my go to car for daily activities. Ordered a RS6, but decided to pass on it. Thinking of getting it’s cousin Flying Spur as replacement. I’m still not quite sure whether or not I like the W223. I feel like I’m forcing myself to like it.
Ambient light, 4 zone climate, sports seats, chrono clock, and Burmester 3D are party pleasers. Burmester 3D is fantastic, but the Bose system is good also. Pano roof is standard here.
On the used car market, the Turbo and GTS are on par price wise as @AndreB mentioned. The first gen GTS was/is top 3 best driving and sound executive saloon of the 21st century (remarkable driving experience). The second gen feels like a detuned Turbo more than anything. Interior is cool though.
It’s quite easy to tune the ECU to 700hp/710 lb/tq. The power is addictive, pulling like a freight train on motorways.
