Curious about which option to select for a taycan 4 cross turismo since those come with the better battery.

Get the Sport Chrono package so you have the mode selector on the steering wheel.
Push to pass is optional because after the tune it doesn't do anything anymore unless someone wants it to do something and artificially limit power.

Get a better sound system, and the double glazed windows - it's much quieter.

Everything else is personal preference really.

So bascially it is enough to have a Taycan Cross 4 (not s) to get a 4.8s 100-200 time? (J1.2).
0-100km will be limited by front inverter obviously....will not reach turbo s CT j1.1 numbers...
Tempting to look at CT 4 options...while trading in the J1.1 TS CT.

Or pray to some gods to receive the J1.2 in the J1.1 due to a recall...that would be the best option...but maybe wishful thinking.

It will be faster or as fast as a Turbo S CT J1.1 0-100. Because it has that much more power, and 0-50km/h you're limited by traction anyway mostly. But 50-100km/h it's way faster.

And yes it's enough to have the Taycan 4 CT :)

Amazing. So I can just look out for a CT 4 (not S) at the minimum...with performance batt J1.2? Any model up (example 4s. Gts..etc) would not do much if any at all after tune?
If so, seriously would consider getting a nicely specced 4 CT or 4s Sport T.
Cheers

There is no hardware differences power wise between the Turbo, GTS, Taycan 4, Taycan 4S on the facelift. The only things that can be different is RAS and PTV.
Amazing. From that perspective very tempting to get a J1.2 4CT (well specced) and get a tune. Worth checking it out.

been thinking the exact same thing
I have asked my dealer already....just want to know...may be an exchange without much cost. Although, will miss those massive PCCB etc...the looks of the TS CT....but yeah...basic 4 and get the tune...will make me happy

Only difference compared with J1.2 Turbo S is the 600amp front inverter?

Of course. e-tron GT, S e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT are identical power wise. The RS e-tron GT Performance is like a Turbo S, in that the front inverter is more powerful, so makes more torque.
