Porsche has designed a Sports Utility Vehicle that concerning performance, safety and looks does not conceal its ancestry. It is a "decathlete" that convinces in the most varying disciplines -on-road
and off-road alike.

Concept
Developing the new Cayenne GTS was an exercise in what we do best: more performance, more agility, a more immediate driving experience. In short: more sport – both visually and technically – and designed exclusively for the road.

The 4.8-litre naturally aspirated V8 features direct fuel injection (DFI) and a range of performance enhancements compared with the Cayenne S. The revised intake manifold and engine management system enable greater power and efficiency. The results: 298 kW (405 bhp) at 6,500 rpm and 500 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm.

Drive is transmitted through a high-performance six-speed manual gearbox or optional six-speed Tiptronic S. The GTS model has a shorter final-drive ratio which increases acceleration. The benchmark sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) requires just 6.1 seconds (with standard manual gearbox). Maximum speed is 253 km/h (157 mph). The sound is specially enhanced by the standard sports exhaust system.

Another special feature on the new Cayenne GTS is the combination of steel-sprung sports suspension and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). (Air suspension is available as an option.) The ride height has been lowered by 24 mm (20 mm with air suspension) to improve handling and high-speed stability. The car’s cornering potential is immediately apparent from the standard 21-inch Cayenne Sport wheels. Engine power is more than matched by the red-caliper brakes with internally vented discs measuring 350 mm in diameter at the front.

Drive
The engine is the heart of every Porsche. It is the origin of its power, presence and sound, its inimitable character and performance. In the new Cayenne models, we’ve used specially uprated V-type units featuring direct fuel injection (DFI). All three are designed for super unleaded petrol on account of its superior efficiency and power density. Compared with the previous generation, the new Cayenne engines offer significantly higher specific power and torque as well as better fuel economy and emissions.

Chassis
Precision. One of the most important words in the Porsche engineering vocabulary. Essential both in the application of power and in feedback from the road. It is the absolute ideal that must be attained, whatever the obstacles that stand in our way. From the varied requirements of everyday use to the most demanding off-road terrain.

Safety
Seeking new paths. Making new discoveries. Yet always prepared for every eventuality. That’s always been our philosophy at Porsche. And the key to our active and passive safety systems.

Comfort
Experience freedom. Go where you want. In a car where everything is precisely where it ought to be. Where exceptional ergonomics and the finest materials create a special driving environment. Where attention to detail and generous space provide excellent occupant comfort.

Practicality
Strength. Endurance. Versatility. Three of the qualities that define every Porsche. In the new Cayenne models, they form a new permutation. And bring a new facet to the concept of high performance.

Environment
Pushing to the limit. Achieving the best. Celebrating performance. Yet always with consideration for the bigger picture. For the wider world around you. Because when we go to every extreme, we do so in every respect.

Colours
A wide range of colours offers the option of giving your Cayenne an even more personalised character. The selection of standard or metallic paint colours, the interior and leather finishes alone provide a pronounced high degree of personalisation. On request, we can paint your Cayenne in a colour of your own choice. There are no limits to your creativity – anything is possible.
