Turbo S and Urus
Question for any 992 turbo S and Urus owners. OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT CARS THAT SERVE DIFFERENT PURPOSES but any owners of these cars prefer one over the other.
im sure there are few owners on here who have both and may lean towards one over the other for different reasons. Just curious to hear thoughts.
I have a few different suvs and sports cars and have both a Urus and 992 turbo s on order. Most likely will grab both (and trade in others) but just want to hear thoughts.

Personally I would get the Cayenne GT in my opinion it's classier

I guess I'm kinda similar? I have a M5 CS, X5M and the 992 comes in like 2 weeks.
I've driven all of the VAG derived MQB "super SUVs", so that means Cayenne Turbo GT, Urus, RSQ8. In addition, I've driven the DBX707, GLE63's, G Wagens, and of course the Stelvio Quad.
I'm not going to review all of them, but I will say I ordered another X5M this week. (Going from a '21 to a '23)
Has better handling and steering feel (I think because it's still steel springs), and is very playful to drive. The rear hatch blows all the rest of the market out of the water. I like that I can fold seats down from the back versus walking around to the doors. The seat massager dumps on Audi/VAG's derived one but the tradeoff is the ventilated seats are kinda weak.
I would take delivery and drive the urus a bit and dump it. Go rail on it then go find an X5M to beat on and tell me which one you think is better. If you can afford it and it's not a financial burden, keep both. Hell you could even Turo that Urus if you really felt like it and didn't like it.

A steal too compared to the new XM monstrosity they're pandering. It's going to be the only non-hybrid high output version of the S68 they make also. Next gen M5 has batteries. I think a 2023-2025 X5M is a great vehicle. Also agree on ventilated seats, I had a 2009 Lexus IS350 at one point and it had the best ventilated seats i've felt to date.

Both are great, I would say it depends on if you have small kids or not, I have a baby so I am always driving my Cayenne and the TTS is rarely driven. I would keep both, two of the best cars in their class.

I much prefer Urus for transporting mountain bikes to a trail or kayaks to a lake/ocean, and the 911 Turbo S is better for anything else. The passengers may prefer Cayenne/Urus for longer trips but I never ask them. Also, driving in deeper snow or on dirt roads is obviously better in an SUV.

Just my humble opinion but BMW isn't in the same category.

Charles,
Can you explain why you think a VW Touraeg that comes in Italian and Porsche flavors is superior to a purpose built platform?
This is no 911, this is a parts bin exercise from Porsche to make money. All of these SUVs use the same braking systems, engines etc as their lesser cousins.

I understand you're hurt by my comment lol but the Cayenne GT was completely retooled by the GT department even the engine has been fully revised with forged internals it's one of the quickest/handling SUV's currently out. Current ring king.

One for any application

I understand you're hurt by my comment lol but the Mustang GT500 was completely retooled by the Ford Racing department even the engine has been fully revised with forged internals it's one of the quickest/handling muscled cars currently out.
I'm not hurt I just don't get it. It's like being proud of a Mustang GT500.
Cool car sure, but it's still a mustang. I might be the odd one out here but what logo is on something doesn't mean **** to me, quality does.
