Relax and take things easy –  
in dynamic style. 
Everyone needs to escape the everyday 
stresses and strains from time to time. 
Some people like to do this by exploring  
a more dynamic side of life. 
In the new Cayenne GTS beats the heart 
of a pure athlete that knows only one 
direction: straight ahead. The uprated, 
naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8 engine 
delivers 420 hp at 6,500 rpm. Maximum 
torque of 380 lb.-ft. is available at   
3,500 rpm. The benchmark sprint from   
0 to 60 is completed in just 5.4 seconds. 
Top track speed comes in at 162 mph. 
The engine power of the new Cayenne GTS 
is 20 hp higher and boasts an added   
11 lb.-ft. of torque compared to the
 
Cayenne S. A shorter drive ratio further 
enhances the car’s agilit y. So you feel the 
pulse of the road – every inch of the way. Drive is transmit ted to the road with 
smoothness and precision by the stand
-
ard eight-speed Tiptronic S. Depending 
on road conditions and driving st yle, it 
automatically selects the correct driving 
mode. You can change gear using t wo 
gearshift paddles on the standard   
SportDesign steering wheel. One pull   
on the right-hand paddle and Tiptronic S 
shifts up. One pull on the left-hand   
paddle and Tiptronic S shifts down.
As you’d expect from a true top performer, 
the new Cayenne GTS is also highly   
efficient. Thanks to intelligent   
performance.
Standard fuel-saving technologies include 
the Auto Start Stop function, VarioCam 
Plus and Direct Fuel Injection (DFI). DFI 
injects fuel directly into the combustion 
chamber with millisecond precision using 
electromagnetic injectors. This increases  the air/fuel mix, thereby enhancing com
-
bustion for higher output and torque with 
lower fuel consumption and emissions. Thermal management activates the differ
-
ent cooling circuits individually, thereby 
ensuring that the optimum temperature 
for the engine and transmission is reached 
more quickly after a cold start. This   
minimizes friction and keeps fuel   
consumption and CO
2 emissions low   
during warm-up.  The standard sport exhaust system 
 
delivers an even more distinctive sound. 
For the looks to match, it features t win 
dual-tube tailpipes finished in matte black.
 
The drive system on the new Cayenne GTS 
is designed for one thing above all else: 
Performance.

Technical data: Cayenne GTS.
1)  The unladen weight (EC) complies with the relevant EC Directives and is valid for standard specification vehicles only. Some items of optional equipment can increase this weight. The figure specified includes 68 kg representing the driver and 7 kg for luggage.2)   
The data presented here was recorded using the Euro 5 test procedure (715/2007/ EC, 692/2008/ EC, 566/2011/EC and ECE- R 101) and the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle). The respective figures were not recorded on   
individual vehicles and do not constitute par t of the of fer. This data is provided solely for the purposes of compari -
son between the respective models. Fuel consumption was recorded on vehicles with standard specification.   
Optional equipment may affect fuel consumption and vehicle performance. Fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions   
are not only determined by a vehicle’s fuel ef ficiency, but also by the driving st yle and other factors irrespective   
of vehicle specification. All current petrol engines from Porsche are compatible with a fuel ethanol content of up   
to 10  %. For more information on individual models, please contact your Porsche Center.
