14 · Cayenne | The new Cayenne GTS
True, asphalt is rather grey.
But that need not apply to what’s happening on it.
The new Cayenne GTS.
GTS – three unmistakable letters which, in
conjunction with the name Porsche, have
written history both on and off the track.
Three letters that combine exceptional
racing performance with superb everyday
agility and that, at Porsche, have always
stood for impressive figures.
Three good reasons for us to present a
new Cayenne model: the Cayenne GTS.
A concept reduced to its essential elem-
ents: output, performance, intelligence.
A concept that is true to its roots: the
tarmac – the place where life happens
for purists.
In the new Cayenne GTS beats the heart
of a pure-bred athlete that knows only one
direction: straight ahead. The up rat
ed,
naturally aspirated 4.8-litre V8 engine
delivers 309 kW (420 hp) and maximum
torque of 515 Nm. The benchmark sprint
from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) is com-
pleted in just 5.7 seconds. Top speed
comes in at 261 km/h (162 mph).
The new Cayenne GTS is also highly
efficient – thanks to standard fuel-saving
technologies including the auto start/
stop function (p. 40), VarioCam Plus
(p. 41) and direct fuel injection (DFI,
p. 42).
The ride height on the steel-spring sports
suspension is 24 mm lower than on the
other Cayenne models – for a lower
centre of gravity. Also fitted as standard,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM, p. 58) is an electronic damping
control system. It offers continuous
adjustment of the damping forces on
each wheel, depending on the current
road conditions and driving style.
The striking central air intake underlines
the sheer power within. The SportDesign
package is fitted as standard. The
athletic lower front and rear apron elem-
ents, dynamic side skirts, unique wheel
arch extensions and rear spoiler with
fixed
bi-plane design are all finished in exterior
colour. All components have been
optimised in the Porsche wind
tunnel to
improve their efficiency and further en-
hance the vehicle’s purposeful stance.
The Cayenne GTS is available in two
exclusive special colours: Carmine Red
or Peridot Metallic.
The standard sports exhaust system
delivers an even more distinctive sound.
For the looks to match, it features twin
dual-tube tailpipes with matt black finish.
Stylish and safe: the Bi-Xenon headlights
with black surround and Porsche Dynamic
Light System (PDLS, p. 65) are fitted as
standard. The car features the same day-
time running lights as the Cayenne Turbo:
each main headlight unit has four LED
spotlights. The tinted taillights are also
equipped with LED technology.
The Cayenne GTS is fitted with 20-inch
RS Spyder Design wheels as standard.
These one-part alloy wheels feature
a race-inspired look and brake calipers
with a red paint finish.
