V8-Powered Porsche Cayenne GTS SUV & Coupé Models Added To Facelift Range
The Porsche Cayenne GTS feature a V8 engine and some performance enhancements.
The Porsche Cayenne was given a facelift relatively recently and the model range has been filled out quite nicely with S, E-Hybrid, S E-Hybrid, Turbo and even Turbo E-Hybrid models. Now there’s a Cayenne GTS model that sits right below the Turbo model and it’s available in both SUV and Coupe body styles.
At the heart of the Cayenne GTS lies a formidable twin-turbo V8 engine, meticulously designed and produced in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. This powerplant delivers an impressive 493 horsepower and 660Nm of torque, representing a substantial 40 hp and 40Nm increase over the previous generation. Coupled with the lightning-quick 8-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission, the Cayenne GTS can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in about 4.2 seconds, ultimately reaching a top track speed of 275km/h.
Porsche’s dedication to performance is evident in the Cayenne GTS’s suspension technology, derived from the acclaimed Cayenne Turbo GT. The GTS-specific air suspension, adaptive damper system PASM, and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus work in harmony to deliver a dynamic and responsive driving experience. Additionally, the two-valve damper technology and two-chamber air suspension provide a perfect balance between agility and ride comfort.
The Cayenne GTS exudes a distinct and sporty aesthetic, setting it apart from its peers. Featuring black GTS model designations, a model-specific front fascia with larger air intakes, tinted head- and taillights, and red brake calipers, the GTS commands attention on the road. The Sport Design Package, with its high-gloss black accents, and the standard Sport Exhaust System with dark bronze tips further enhance its athletic appearance.
Step inside the Cayenne GTS, and you’ll be greeted by a meticulously crafted interior featuring Race Tex appointments. The roofliner, armrests, door panels, heated GT Sport steering wheel, and 8-way Sport seats are adorned in this premium material, delivering both style and comfort. For those seeking further personalization, optional GTS interior packages in Carmine Red or Slate Grey are available.
The Porsche Cayenne GTS seamlessly combines the thrill of a sports car with the versatility of an SUV, making it the perfect choice for those who refuse to compromise on performance or practicality. Experience the exhilaration of the open road with the new Cayenne GTS – a true embodiment of Porsche’s relentless pursuit of automotive excellence.
