I have a 21 Cayenne S and 18 M5. Night and day difference, but the Cayenne is pretty good for an SUV. It is for my wife. I tried to buy a GTS with the detuned B8 but she said it sounded like a truck. I put a JB4 on the S, but honestly the GTS felt like it had little to nothing on the S during my 60-110 highway testing. I was really surprised by that. 24 Cayenne S models have the detuned V8 instead of the V6 if you are looking at new.
Our S does not have any handling options other than 20” wheels and PASM. A GTS would have more stock and you can spend a bunch optioning more if you want the best handling 5000 lb SUV possible. If it was for me, it would be a Turbo with handling options since I like power. You could tune the GTS if warranty is not a concern.
Power wise you are carrying extra weight with less power so acceleration will be slower, even with a Turbo. Maybe acceleration is not that important to you and it won’t matter. I love it so I want as much power as reasonably possible and have tuned my M5. Stock 21 S with Sport Chrono has been tested at 109 in the quarter. A 21 M550ix did 119 — big difference.
