Nice forum! 2021 Cayenne GTS in Quartzite Grey Metallic. Picked up on 12/11/2020. Current mileage 26K+. Cayenne is used for traveling in the Western United States during the winter months. Sits in the garage most of the summer months. Engine replaced at 10k, with compliments of Porsche North America (PNA). Coated steel brakes and rotors replaced at 12K, also with compliments of PNA.
My only complaint is that Porsche has not figured out how to make the electronics work 100% of the time. Traffic on the PCM is spotty at best! Everything else is fantastic! This is our second Cayenne GTS. We had a 2016 Cayenne GTS for 46K miles and replaced it with the 2021 Cayenne. Great traveling vehicle! Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) works fantastic for twisty roads but also allows 500+ mile days at 80+ mph on open roads to be traveled in comfort. Rear axle steering makes U-Turns a lot more manageable and really helps in tight corners at speed. Only options that I would NOT order again are the Sport Chrono Stopwatch Dial in White and Central Tachometer in White. In the previous generation, these options worked well. In this generation, they are a waste of money (IMHO).
Photo includes Mt. Shasta in Northern California. On a road trip from Tucson, AZ, we were traveling to Beaverton, Oregon. We stopped and took some photo shots off of I-5 at around 9am. A local garbage hauler noticed me and my camera. He stopped and told me about this great photo spot about 3 miles away. He was correct. It was a fantastic photo spot! (This photo has not been "photoshopped" or digitally manipulated in any way.)

Excellent pic; TY for posting.
My most-recent 9Y0 was that color but had the stainless-steel (?) window surrounds.

This month's new-to-me 2021 Cayenne Turbo is being delivered this coming week.. It's Midnight Blue Metallic and has only 25K-miles on it.. After a couple Ford Broncos this summer, the 2nd a Raptor, built with a higher degree of off-pavement attitude, turned out to be not quite my 'thing', and I traded the Raptor for the '21 Porsche Cayenne Turbo, my 5th CT (starting in 2003 with an '04) and 4th 9Y0.

While my new-to-me 2021 C(ayenne) T(urbo) is on the way(1), I've been sorting wheels and tires(2), the goal being two full sets of 11" and 9-1/2" Exclusive Design black-background (EDBB) wheels for an all-315 set for summer and all-285 set for nonsummer(3).. Have found four 285 or 315 tires to toss/recycle (or whatever tirestores in AZ do with junk tires), four 9-1/2" wheels, a set of four 21" RS Spyder Design wheels (take-offs from a prior CT), and probably more than I can remember.. Five new 315s (Pirelli P Zero [PZ4]), 2022 models for only $298 each at Tirerack) are waiting for me at my tire-service store, and a set of four reconditioned EDBB wheels are arriving tomorrow.. I'm still short two 11"ers for summer use, but I'll find them somewhere.
I'm REALLY looking forward to my new Porche!
(1) and could arrive TONITE!!!!
(2) of which I have maybe 50 in my backyard; PLS don't ask why.
(3) I ran four '315' summer-HP tires and then four 285-AS tires on my prior '19 CT; that worked VERY well and looked better than the usual 285/315 original mix.

My GORGEOUS Cayenne arrived Wednesday without a scratch.. Plycar hauled it inside a 53' closed trailer, and I'm VERY pleased with the company and the driver.. I got half and half* of the new wheels on, but then on a little ride Thursday after the tire work, it developed an engine miss, so I took it to Porsche Scottsdale to be repaired (and a minor recall handled) under the CPO warranty.. Driving an almost-free, boring, white Macan as a loner.
Today I found and ordered two more 11" wheels, so I'll have all-four 315s (on 11" wheels) on it soon.
WOW do I LOVE the way this Cayenne looks, smells, and feels!
* That's the left-hand half of the 315s and the right-hand half of the 285s, all on black-background, Excl. Design wheels

And here it is.. Had mounted two more new Pirelli 315 PZ4s mounted on the just-arrived 11" wheels, cleaned the two new tires with lacquer thinner, applied one layer of Zaino Perfect Tire Gloss* to all the tires, and took some pics.
Porsche washed it Wednesday morn, but it's a good bit dusty by now.

* I really like this stuff because it's NOT glossy but it makes the tires look BLACK.

Long story but had to trade my 911 C4S (daily driver) last year for this 2024 Cayenne S. Fairly well loaded including 22" wheels, Burmester stereo and green leather. While I miss the 911, this Cayenne looks and sounds great, plus is pretty darn fast. This photo was taken in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.

On my 2008 Cayenne GTS has 6 speed manual and PDCC. Handles great and always engaging. I love my 911’s but something about rumbling into Home Depot with small block V8 Porsche and having space to pick something up.

A little bit Country, & a little bit Rock & Roll…You decide, I’ll drive!
