Anyone else’s 955 have temperature fluctuations? It goes up to 200 degrees when idling after driving for 30 mins and back down to 180 when moving (air flow helps cooling?). Might need a new water pump and thermostat, no coolant leaks. 160k miles.

In market for a Cayenne, upgrading from Macan base. I am talking (negotiating) dealers for a 2027 ICE BASE custom order, which is coming around $110 (expected to go up $112-13, after model refresh).

Meanwhile, found a sweet CPO deal on 2025 GTS demonstrator vehicle. Total 3+2 years warranty.

Mileage: 400 miles
Asking: $135k (original: $151k)

What GTS missing from my specs -

1. Porsche InnoDrive + Active Lane Keep
2. I like lighter interiors
3. GTS has to be RED IN COLOR 🏎️

Should I pull the trigger? GTS owners - how much more in maintenance I need to pay as compared to a Base?

EDIT: GTS IT IS! LFG 🥵🚀 After the test drive, I literally forgot everything else. It’s really well speced car. Thanks for the help everyone!

Both the Premium Package and Premium Plus Package include the option “Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) incl. Lane Keep Assist (LKA).” But if select either package, it adds $1,370 for InnoDrive, stating you also must add the “Porsche InnoDrive incl. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Active Lane Keep Assist (ALK)” for $1,370. So why don’t they just increase both packages by $1,370 and include it in the list of options that are part of the package? It makes no sense.

Absolutely loving my first Cayenne.
2024 base model with all extras that eventually became part of the Black Edition.

Ex-dealer demo unit CPO.

And I’m about a week away from taking it on its first proper drive through Victoria and the Great Ocean Road.

Sometimes you have to just stop and admire it. Absolutely love the contrast of the Black/Garnet Red interior with white exterior. One of these days I'll get around to tossing the Turbonite badge on the hood too.

For context, I live in Finland and this is one of the worst countries to buy an ICE car :)
So I just got back from service center visit at local Porsche center and the customer service rep told me that someone just ordered a Panamera 4S (aka non-hybrid) for the first time in a few years and it raised some concerns. I knew that we have crazy CO2 taxes here and that’s the reason why you can’t find any ICE Porsches from the 9Y generation for sale but I never checked the pricing for myself.
Here are some screenshots and I’m keen to learn if there is any other country where a Cayenne S costs more than a Turbo E-Hybrid.
Looks like whoever ordered that Panamera 4S is built of nothing but dedication.

PS. For those of you who think that you could just buy one abroad and import it, bad news: you’ll still pay the CO2 tax on the car when registering it bringing the total price very close to local

Looking for a daily/family Cayenne — not the driver’s car. Option A — Kreide MY25, 12k km, ~€97k all-in (MSRP was €157k): Massage + ventilated, Nachtsicht, 4-zone, Standheizung, heated windshield, HUD, InnoDrive, BOSE, Sport Chrono, Panorama, 21” Turbo Design Vesuvgrau, Carbon GT wheel, blackout, Rear Seat Entertainment prep. Missing: rear-axle steering, PDCC, sport exhaust, HD-Matrix, Surround View, Burmester. Option B — Cashmere Beige, ~€112k all-in: Rear-axle steering, sport exhaust, HD-Matrix LED, 22” Sport Design gloss black, Surround View, Diamar Silver Shade interior, Servolenkung Plus. Missing: Nachtsicht, 4-zone, Standheizung, heated windshield, Carbon GT wheel. For a daily Cayenne (winters, motorway trips, family duties) — comfort load or chassis load? Specifically: do you actually feel rear-axle steering daily? Is Nachtsicht useful or gimmick? Heated windshield game-changer or marketing?

¿Alguien que tenga algún diseño similar a este?
Voy a pedir mi Porsche Cayenne en ese diseño pero no encuentro por ningún lado que alguien haya escogido tan siquiera esos rines (Rs Spyder Neodimio) y me pregunto que tan bien se ve en persona…

Gifted our daughter her first Porsche after completing her MBA.

Hello Everyone Just seeking some help and advice Recently tried replacing a battery module with a dead cell. Turns out my old module board was bad and discharged the same cell again. At first car didn’t want to start it said it had an open circuit even after resetting the BMS My thoughts were because of the bad board it didn’t fix the issue Now I talked to some shops they said swapping the module won’t fix it and will cause problems later because the capacity Which I know is true , just want to confirm with anyone here that’s done it and what their result was ?

I’m going to try and bring cell 3 back from the dead which is at 1.6 V And swap the board

Any tips or leads to buy another used module ? Part number is 7PP.915.215

23 Cayenne GTS “Dream Spec” Purchase — Did I Accidentally Find a Unicorn?

Huge car enthusiast here. Family has ties to a GM dealership, so I’ve spent most of my life in Denali trucks, plus a few CTS/STS Cadillacs back in the day.

A few years ago I dipped into European SUVs:
- 2016 Macan Turbo (absolutely loved it)
- 2018 Range Rover Sport Supercharged (awesome when it worked… but constant maintenance headaches)

Fast forward to now — my 2024 Denali Ultimate has been an absolute disaster. It’s currently spent 8 weeks in the shop for software/lumbar issues and GM is moving toward a buyback.

Normally I’d just order another truck, but with the full refresh coming for the 2027s, there’s no way I’m ordering a 2026.

At the same time, I’ve wanted something FUN again for a long time.

My wife and I have two 110 lb American Bully XLs, so practicality still matters, which is why I kept circling back to the Cayenne. My mom has a 2026 Cayenne and every time I drive it I’m reminded how ridiculously good these things are.

Last weekend I was in Palm Springs for work and started test driving.

First stop:
2021 G550.

Fun as hell… but I’m 6’4” and there is NO way those things were built for tall people. I wanted to love it but I was unbelievably uncomfortable.

Then I drove a GLE53 AMG.
Super comfortable, luxurious, fast — honestly impressive.

The Porsche dealer was next door, so naturally I wandered over.

Met a guy named Tony at Indigo Porsche and immediately knew he was a true enthusiast/dealer relationship type of guy.

I asked if they had any GTS models.

He says:
“Only one… but it’s probably too expensive.”

Then we drive around back and I see a Ghost White Cayenne GTS getting detailed.

Instant obsession.

Turns out this thing was custom ordered by a close friend of the GM and the spec is INSANE.

Specs:
- Premium Plus Package
- Assistance Package
- 18-Way Seats
- Sport Design Package in Carbon Fiber
- Exterior Carbon Fiber Package
- GTS Logo Deletion
- Satin Black Porsche Logos
- Custom 22” Forged Wheels
- PDCC
- Rear Axle Steering
- Sport Chrono
- Heated/Ventilated Seats
- Heated Steering Wheel
- Carbon Fiber Interior Trim
- Thermally + Noise Insulated Glass
- Crest Headrests
- Center Console Logo
- Gloss Black Calipers
- Trailer Hitch
- OEM 21” Wheels/Tires Included
- Eventuri Carbon Fiber Intake
- Full Front PPF

Original MSRP:
$171k

The thing has 18k miles, 6 months factory warranty left, plus Porsche CPO coverage.

Price:
$106k.

After driving it… I honestly felt like it was meant to happen.

The combination of:
- PDCC
- Rear axle steering
- Sport Plus mode
- the Eventuri intake sound
- comfort
- steering feel

…completely ruined me.

I genuinely think this might be one of the coolest Cayenne GTS specs I’ve personally seen.

Now I’m sitting here wondering:
Did I accidentally buy the perfect daily?

Also curious:
- How do these hold value over a couple years?
- Is a spec like this relatively easy to move later?
- Anything I should know as a newer Porsche/Cayenne owner?

Because honestly…
I have a feeling it’s going to be VERY hard to drive anything else after this thing.

Absolutely obsessed with it already.
