9. I highly doubt that the VTG technology will be introduced on the new Cayenne Turbo but it can never be excluded. The lag is actually "artificially" induced, I don't want to brag about it again (check our archives) but apparently it has been done for safety reasons.
Just imagine this: soccer mom, red light, mom presses throttle down fully, Cayenne Turbo S jumps forward in an instant, in front of soccer mom, another car stops suddenly, soccer mom already has a huge speed and just released the foot from the throttle to operate the brake.... BOOOOMMM. We're talking about a 2.5 ton monster, an instant acceleration would be dangerous for many drivers. Unfortunately, the lag can be dangerous too.

I know I'm posting this question prematurely but after my Cayenne Turbo experience, this is my only concern about my 997 Turbo coming this fall. The hesitation and / or lurching was the subject of countless numbers of posts on the Cayenne board and was the reason I parted with an otherwise great vehicle. Am I going to have to do the same with my new turbo tip?

The Tip itself isn't the real problem on the Cayenne Turbo but the throttle setup. Shifting times could be slightly better but what annoys me most is throttle hesitation.
I talked to two persons who already have driven the 997 Turbo. There is not even the slightest hesitation present, not from standstill (goes off like a rocket, saw a short video) and not during driving, on the contrary. Like one of the persons said: "You have to watch out not to be too fast all the time..." And finally: the Tiptronic in the Cayenne Turbo is made by the japanese manufacturer Aisin, the Tiptronic in the 997 Turbo is actually a modded Mercedes automatic tranny. Just for the book.
To say the 997TT-TipS might have a "hesitation problem," is kind of like saying the devices we jettisoned over Hiroshima and Nagasaki were doubtfully able to decisively end the Pacific conflict (the position of a college professor of mine) merely because we later created a more powerful weapon thereafter that vaporized the Bikini Atoll....
