The Carmine red in this video is looking even better IMO at night

We have not seen a test drive yet, so we don't know about the tuning but I wouldn't get my hopes up. The GTS is usually the "sweet spot", but not often the "best". Either way, the Turbo is incredible, and I expect the GTS will be incredible too.
Regarding the GTS I understand that you get the extra drive mode but is the 10 - 15% sport suspension tuning (basically stiffer suspension according to a review I watched) limited to that mode or are all of the suspension settings 10 -15% stiffer. In other words is the Normal drive mode the same on all trims levels (assuming air suspension) OR is the GTS suspension "Normal" different than the other trim level "Normal" settings. Anyone know?

Don't know for sure, but according to spec comparison (4 vs GTS), GTS is 11 mm lower in normal mode. In off-road they have similar height and in sport, GTS is a few mm lower. So guess suspension is stiffer in all modes except off-road.

Front lip is quite low and some kerbs are quite high, but to put things into perspective, Taycan has 47 mm less ground clearance in normal mode.
