Aftermarket hitch possible on Turisomo GTS for bike rack?

[Prcupne]

I know that there is a Porsche bike rack that works on the Tourismo Cross. However we just made a deal on a Turismo GTS. The salesman assured us the Porsche bike rack would work on the GTS however it turns out that isn’t accurate. Is it possible to have an aftermarket hitch installed for a bike rack? Or any other ideas? And Sea Sucker is a hard NO!
Thank you.

Porsche bike rack depends on a selectable prep option. It was (I believe) available on all trims, but was an option. I have it on my GTS ST.

If the sales person put it in writing, get them to pay for a retrofit it or order you a new car with the bike rack prep. Besides the actual hitch, you'd need a trailer connector (also part of bike rack prep) to both allow you to have rear lights on the hitch, but more importantly it disables the automatic rear hatch, so you don't end up opening it with the rack attached.

I don't think there exists a Porsche approved tow hitch for Taycans.

For a sport turismo: Only for vehicles with rear bicycle carrier preparation (order no. NG1)

IMO it's prohibitively expensive to retrofit. If you have the roof rails, I would mount it on the roof.

If you have the bicycle carrier preparation I can deliver this solution.

Hi Paul,

I would be interested in some details of this solution.

Unfortunately the bike carrier preparation wasn’t selected on my pre-owned 4S CT. I’m confident of being able to fit the housing brackets by removing the rear bumper. I’m less confident of being able to connect the wiring harness to the car as I’m not sure where that would go and can’t any electrical schematics.

Look for forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
Michael
