I did the exact swap. Drove Cross turismo 4 for a year, then got a sport turiso 4 1 year ago. The biggest drawback is that im missing all-wheel-drive (I live in Norway). Other then that i find it looks much better without the plastic wheel covers.

The clearance is only an issue over speedbumps. I solved it by changing the chassi air suspension to sport.
Thanks - yeah think I’ll need to get used to the suspension but same think it will primarily be the speed bumps.

I like the plastic on the CT altho didn’t get the off road pack. With mine being volcano you couldn’t see it much anyway

ST4 is all wheel drive as per your CT4.
I believe you are mistaken. I called my car “sport turismo 4” although the “4” its actually not in the official model name. I own the base Taycan st, which has rear wheel drive

I'm not mistaken. You had "4" in the name of your Taycan variant. This implies all wheel drive (often referred to as 4 wheel drive (which it isn't strictly speaking)). Ergo, you made a simple mistake.

No worries.

Interesting how we disagree : )
Do you believe a taycan with rear wheel drive exists?

I think that he means missing the Gravel mode. Sport Turismo is like paying more for less. I will never get how regular Taycan can live without Gravel mode

At the outset you referenced your ST as a Sport Turiso 4 hence my original comment if you care to look, I quote:

Hope that's clear now!?

Unlike the Panamera 4 ST there is no Taycan 4 ST - perhaps there should be.

Hadn’t considered the bike rack price. Good point.
It is ridiculously expensive compared to similar third party models but as a percentage of the total price it was pretty negligible so I went for it. Very glad I did: when you get the hang of it it is quick and easy to fit, super strong and well designed. Perfect for electric mountain bike jaunts in Scotland

Sorry didn’t see this. Looks a great solution to be fair - seems a lot sturdier.

Well picked up today. First impressions very good - feels special. The seats feel far more comfortable than the leather 14 way I have.

Had so many comments and looks today - but forgot how much a dark car hides pesky bugs!

The VLC is great but god I wouldn’t have specd that at that price!!!

Looks great Paul. I hope you are happy in the ST. I agree about the bugs, but on positive note, a lighter colour helps if you can get them off quite so quickly as they don't etch the paintwork as much (in my experience), as it doesn't get as hot.

Thanks Mark. Very happy, been a big grin 24hrs!

The bug wipes seem to be doing a good job.

Hope you’re still enjoying yours ?
