Muscular, athletic, powerful and challenging. The Cayenne GTS makes a clear statement. On every straight and in every bend. Its uprated engine is enough to set any driver’s pulse racing. Its steel-spring suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is 24 mm lower – for an even sportier setup. You simply couldn’t feel any closer to the road. Visually, the precise lines of the front, derived from the Cayenne Turbo, larger air intakes and the headlights demonstrate one thing above all else: the Cayenne GTS is not a player. It is a performer.
Viewed from the side, the ‘GTS’ logos on the doors emphasize the car’s true sporting spirit. Fitted as standard, the 20-inch RS Spyder Design wheels feature an exclusive black satin finish for high aesthetic appeal. Other striking features include the red brake calipers, also taken from the Cayenne Turbo. Eye-catching elements at the rear: the tinted LED taillights, ‘Cayenne GTS’ logo and twin tailpipes with a matte black finish.
The new Cayenne GTS is equipped as standard with the SportDesign package. The athletic lower front and rear fascia elements, wheel arch extensions and dynamic side skirts are all finished in exterior color. Black interior surrounds lend further character to the Bi-Xenon™ headlights with LED daytime running lights. The interior also speaks the language of motorsport: the multifunction sports steering wheel with gearshift paddles is a reference to Porsche racing successes. The rev counter with ‘GTS’ logo has been revised. To the right in the instrument cluster is the 4.8-inch color display.
The GTS sports seats with 8-way electric adjustment are highly ergonomic. Other standard features include ‘GTS’ logos on the front and outer rear head restraints as well as the brushed aluminum interior package and extensive Alcantara® package. The optional GTS interior packages give you the opportunity to add stunning highlights to the inside of your car with decorative seams on the dashboard, upper door panels and armrests in contrasting colour. Smooth-finish leather completes the sporty look.
The best way to experience something is up close. That’s why the Cayenne GTS brings you into closer contact with the road. For a more direct driving experience. And for a level of performance that’s usually only to be found on the racetrack. The car is powered by an all-new 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with direct fuel injection (DFI). The results: 440 hp at 6,000 rpm, that’s 20 hp more power than its predecessor with reduced displacement and a further significant decrease in fuel consumption.
Maximum torque of 443 lb.-ft. is available between 1,600 and 5,000 rpm. The benchmark sprint from 0 to 62 mph is completed in 5.2 thrilling seconds. The 8-speed Tiptronic S ensures powerful acceleration, all the way up to a top track speed of 163 mph.
