‘23 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo ST - Daily family wagon, occasional track toy

[DGW]

Great post, Chris!
That Aston forged GT3 alloy wheels are looking absolutely fantastic on the Taycan, just wondering how the center lock fits on a normal Taycan?

I had a Dolomite silver cross tourismo as a replacement car for a weekend, it's a great color i must admit, it transforms into ice blue, white, and silver in different angels.

Enjoy your GTS!

They are not actual centerlocks but are a cap that goes over the 5 lug bolts to give the centerlock look. They still look spot on to me though and are much more affordable than actual GT3 wheels:

Here are some close ups showing the wheel assembled, sans center cap, and sans cap and lug cover.

I placed an order for another set of center caps with the “Taycan” logo and no torque meter / indicator to be less poseur. Should be delivered in a couple weeks!

These look great, but the point on the Porsche crest is not pointed at the valve stem...WTF?

Agreed. Another reason to swap for the model designation on the center caps!

A ? for de-poseuring.

Mmmmm, look at that yummy fresh pavement at Laguna!

Awesome! Car and track looks amazing. What did you think of the new track surface? Curious how much faster, runoffs in 5/9, still dip in 6? I guess I'll find out in a couple weeks...

 

[C17r15]

Loads of grip, anecdotally (from other drivers) 1 second faster vs old surface. Part of it may be the ~1 ft. new runoffs at turns 5/9 allowing wider exits.

Dip and go still there on 6!

Taiwan number 1! (Saw the flag on your profile)

I'm interested in the two mods you had coded. Did you do that yourself or did you find a shop that can do it?

LOL, I logged in from TW and I think it triggered the flag change. No need to revert though!

I have the PIWIS 3 tester and coded those myself. If you have a local shop with a PIWIS 3 tester (w/ Engineering mode), happy to provide the settings to change. I was just in LA for Disneyland and plan to visit again this year, can let you know and perhaps code it for you when I’m visiting.

For those in SF Bay Area, happy to code this for you over a coffee or adult beverage depending on the time of day, along with a few other code-able settings I found, e.g., open/shut windows with key fob; turning off the annoying passenger airbag on/off warning; disable driver seatbelt warning; enable keyboard / lists in CarPlay in motion; changing the number of flashes with press of stalk.

Vehicle height can also be recalibrated with PIWIS (+/- XX mm across all height settings), same functionality as the lowering links and electronically through the CETE module.

Love this ST, looks great.

Does anyone know of a rear lip spoiler that gives the look of the Panamera..?
