Closeapias:When are you planning to sell the 918?
I 'might' think about it if it goes over 8 digits. Not gonna to entertain any number lower than that. The car is too damn good to part way with. Plus, if I sell it, there is nothing I can buy to replace it.
Targa Tim:Whoopsy:The Cayenne Turbo S will likely be a compliment instead of a replacement for my G63.
They are sort of the polar opposite in driving dynamics, each has their charm and strength.
Hey Nick,
I lose counts of how many cars you have. How many indoor garage spaces you have?
Shit, do you have to remind me that I don't have enough parking?

Well, none of us have enough parking anyway. I have 2 cars outdoor now.
GT4CS only comes in PDK? Then it will be very similar to the use of your GT3RS, right?
You need a manual car...

Interesting. I asked because you seem to be spending all your time in the GT3RS, and rarely talk about driving the 918.

GT4CS is track only, so I can only use it on a track and I will keep it on site too.
Still trying to source my ultimate manual car, a 1994 964 Turbo 3.6 
Or perhaps a unmolested 959.

Yes I have been spending a lot of time in the RS and neglected the 918. It has been relegated to show and display duty right now for functions. Hell I actually spent the most time the last 2 months in the FF, traveling back and forth to Whistler as my Porsches don't have winter tires.
Anyway, the 918 is a tour de force of technology from Porsche on what can be done when they have time to do something special. There isn't another more advanced car on the road right now, not even the Tesla's. It is a piece of automotive history, it marks the point where manufacturers found out that they can use hybrid technology for performance too instead of just fuel economy. It is a real performer too, nothing one can buy is faster. Ferrari followed Porsche in doing the performance hybrid LaFerrari, even McLaren changed course and cramped an impromptu hybrid system to their halo P1. Honda with their upcoming NSX, etc.
Of course there will be more advanced hybrid coming in the future, but the 918 is the first one, patient zero of the performance hybrids.
RS 991:The Cayenne Turbo/s is the SUV to have. Will the SQ7 not be a diesel? Would you RC still be tempted?
No, the S Q7 is supposed to be a petrol engine car, very likely with a bi-turbo charged 4.0 l V8 engine and 600 hp flat.
Unless they name it RS Q7 and offer a Diesel engine equipped S Q7 with a 4.2 l 400 hp Diesel engine.
Audi's model policy is a bit confusing...

RC:Good to know about the too soft and wallowy drive of RR, this is definitely something I do not want on a SUV. The only SUV I would accept to be "wallowy" is the G class but this isn't actually really a SUV, more of a comfort trimmed off-roader.
I am still dreaming of a G63 AMG but deep down in my heart, I actually know very well that I want a Cayenne Turbo S. Or at least a Cayenne Turbo. End of next year, when my wife's Macan Turbo lease runs out, I have to decide. Or maybe early 2017, when my Jeep lease runs out, time will tell.
I saw the new Q7 and while I like the interior, the exterior is soooooo boring. I am curious how a possible S Q7 will look alike, maybe a bit more attractive. If it costs like a Cayenne though, I'd go with he "original". LOL
No worries, I will fulfill that dream of yours in 2 more months if Porsche had better customer service I would've gone for the Turbo S, but since I haven't seen any progress from them nor from Stuttgart that just forwards your complaints directly to your local dealer 
I've decided to close the Porsche book for once and for all. Good bye GT4 
BiTurbo:
Interesting but my SRT beats basically any car up to 60 kph. 
My dealer had to adapt the software for the (street legal certified!) aftermarket sport exhaust system and with that occasion, he changed the throttle response of the truck in Sport mode. Now when I start from standstill, the SRT needs 4.4 seconds from 0-100 kph and from 0-60 kph, the truck is almost unbeatable. I have shocked motorcycles with it... 
Even a 911 Turbo S isn't faster. The start from standstill is instantaneous and violent, I have never seen a 2.5 ton truck start off that fast. Chrysler does not use this setup for their standard SRT models because of liability (and maybe reliability?) reasons. My throttle response is so sensitive that even a millimeter or two of throttle way gets translated into movement. Whenever I switch from my SRT to the 911 GTS or even my wife's Macan Turbo, I always think there is something wrong with these cars. The throttle response is extremely sluggish compared to the SRT and I am talking Sport Plus mode here.
My wife doesn't drive the SRT because she can't handle the sensitive throttle response, even in normal mode. With sport mode turned on, she once almost hit our garage wall, it was a pretty close call, so she never drove the car again.

^^ Dummy lights on a modified current-gen body. This isn't indicative of the styling of the new Cayenne at all; probably just chassis testing and examining aerodynamics with the new active rear spoiler.

Seems to be the same car or similar stage of development

ALDO:oh my god! You have ruined my day.
For hours I try to erase this picture in my had - no way - I hate you.

Today I did see the very first time the new Cayenne in the typical camouflage on the Autobahn. First I thought it is a Macan but then I realized that it was much bigger. The front lights been covered under tape but I could see those 4 illuminated dots. The overall shape was not that much different. Maybe some more edges but hard to say when not having something to compare. And - before you ask me - no I couldn't make pictures. The car passed by and it was probably just 5 seconds I could have a look at.
Anyway - it shows that the car is almost ready developed and now in field test. It is just a matter of time to see a lot of new pictures here.
crayphile:Whoopsy:Panamera comes first, then the new Cayenne.
Bodyshop at Leipzig for Panamera is ready.
Are you still getting the Turbo S? Mine is delayed but I hope to have it in two weeks or less.
crayphile why did you bought a Panamera Turbo S when the new Panamera is coming soon?

Yes my Cayenne Turbo S is still on order, but I pushed it to a 2017 model for the new PCM with CarPlay.

Hey J.Seven - how is your new hybrid? Can you share some experience?

End of 2017...according to what I heard.
