An SUV. Descended from a
thoroughbred sports car.
What would Porsche engineers do if you
gave them a completely free rein with
absolutely no limits or restrictions? They
would build a sports car, of course. One
that is as close to the road as possible.
Based on the experience we’ve gained
from more than 30,000 race victories.
Packed with emotion and sporting prow -
ess, and with absolutely no compromise
in sight.
All of this in an SUV? We’ve already dem -
onstrated that the Cayenne offers all the
performance you’d expect of a sports car.
Now we’ve taken the concept one step
f u r t h e r.
We gave our engineers a free hand
to draw on their entire experience and
wealth of creativit y. The outcome:
intelligent performance. The goal represented a sporting chal
-
lenge: to further enhance the outstanding
performance of the Cayenne S by increas -
ing torque and exploiting its sports car
potential to the full while making it look
more muscular – and even more exclu -
sive. What we’ve produced is a vehicle for
purists. The new Cayenne GTS.
GTS – three unmistakable let ters which, in
conjunction with the name Porsche, have
writ ten history both on and off the track.
Three letters that combine exceptional
racing performance with superb everyday
agilit y and that, at Porsche, have always
stood for impressive figures.
The Cayenne GTS generates 420 hp and
380 lb.-ft. of torque-that ’s 20 hp and
11 lb.-ft. more than the Cayenne S. It
completes the sprint from 0 to 60 in
5.4 seconds and has a top track speed
of 162 mph.
The car has the same striking front fascia
as the Cayenne Turbo, plus a shorter drive
ratio for enhanced dynamics. The ride
height has also been lowered to further
underline the uncompromising athleticism
of the Cayenne GTS.
An SUV. Descended from a thoroughbred
sports car. We’ve proven it can be done.
