Sporting spirit is a state of mind. Some -
thing that drives you on. You can sense
and feel it in every muscle and with
every heartbeat.

The front of the Cayenne GTS is unmis -
takable. As on all Cayenne models, the
contours immediately draw the eye.
The elongated hood is clearly reminis
cent of
Porsche racecars from the 1960s. The
striking center air intake underlines the
sheer power within, a feature that was
unique to the Cayenne Turbo until now.
The sharper profile exudes eagerness and
determination, which is further emphasized by the dynamic rear roof pillars and

flowing coupé-like silhouette.
The rear is also imbued with sporting
spirit. The rear wheel arches are typical
of a sports car, streamlined and muscular.
The ‘Cayenne GTS’ logo on the tailgate
makes a clear reference to the car’s
enormous potential.
The tapered rear window and streamlined
rear section accentuate the flared wheel
arches – for a typically distinctive rear
v iew.
Pure sport is all about stepping up the
power. That ’s why the new Cayenne GTS
is equipped, as standard, with the
SportDesign package. The athletic lower
front and rear fascia elements, dynamic
side skirts, wheel arch extensions and
rear spoiler with split t win wing profile
are all finished in exterior color.
All components have been optimized
in the Porsche wind tunnel to improve their efficiency and further enhance the

vehicle’s purposeful stance.
The Cayenne GTS is available in t wo
exclusive special colors: Carmine Red
or Peridot Metallic. A range of other
colors is naturally available on request.
For contrast, the side window surrounds
and rear trim strip have a black high-
gloss finish. Other features include the
Bi-Xenon™ main headlights in black and
the tinted LED taillights.
A coming together of sporting spirit and
purism, both of which are the driving
force behind great achievement.

Sporting spirit is intangible. Or is it?

A sporting spirit on the outside,
fired by a passion from within.
When you step inside the new Cayenne GTS,
the concept is immediately clear: pure,
exclusive and exhilarating sporty appeal. The outer door-sill guards in stainless
steel bear the ‘Cayenne GTS’ logo – a hint
of the incredible potential that lies within.
Throughout the interior, the new

Cayenne GTS is used with pure sporting
st yle. The entire layout is designed for an
even more involving driving experience.
The rising center console pays homage to the Carrera GT super sports car –
reducing the distance bet ween the steering
wheel and the Tiptronic S gear selector.

The round instruments, a typical Porsche
feature with the tachometer in the middle,
underline the cockpit’s sporting ambi -
ence. Also striking and sport y: the

standard trim strips in brushed aluminum.
The GTS sport seats with 8-way adjust -
ment are highly dynamic thanks to their
low positioning. With adjustable fore/aft,
height and cushion/ backrest angle set -
tings, they also offer exceptional comfort
and support – even during performance
driving.
This pure sports feeling is no coinci -
dence. It holds true to a rich racing

heri
tage. The seat centers and rooflining
are finished in Alcantara® as standard.
Used extensively in racing, this under -
lines the car’s tremendous athleticism,
functionality and passion.
The optional GTS interior packages1) in
Carmine Red or Peridot give you the
opportunit y to add stunning highlights to
the inside of your car. These include an
embroidered ‘GTS’ logo on the head restraints on the front and outer rear
seats. There’s also a choice of further
elements such as front and rear seat
belts and decorative seams on the dash
-
board, upper door panels and armrests
in contrasting color. These turn the
interior of the new Cayenne GTS into
something truly extraordinary – an
un mistakable statement of sporting st yle.
There are also a number of optional
interior packages in two-tone leather,

natural leather or two-tone natural leather
to choose from.

The shape of the outer rear sport seats
is designed to reflect the car’s main
focus: the road ahead.
Purist, exclusive and individual, the inter -
ior concept is a pure expression of your
own personality.

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.

The Cayenne GTS follows one guiding
principle alone: the racing line.
The new Cayenne GTS is equipped with
air suspension that features a 20 -mm

reduction in height when compared to a
Cayenne S as standard. This allows for
a lower center of gravit y and even closer
contact to the road.
Fit ted as standard equipment, Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM)
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
st yle.
During performance driving with heavy
acceleration and braking phases, there
is an increased tendency for the body to
sway. PASM prevents this from happening.
It has three driver-selectable modes whose
basic setup is performance-orient
ed to
match the capabilit y of the Cayenne GTS:

‘Comfort’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’. Sensors
monitor the movement of the body and
also gather data on lateral acceleration, steering angle, brake pressure and engine
torque. Based on the driving conditions,
the system continuously varies the individ
-
ual damping forces within the parameters
defined for the selected mode. PASM
remains active at all times. It automatical -
ly adapts to the prevailing driving situ-
ation, enabling greater vehicle control and
improving comfort and safet y – when out
for a quick ‘run’ after work, for example.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
active all-wheel drive enables high levels
of traction and impressive driving dynam -
ics. PTM continuously monitors the status
of the vehicle to ensure the optimum
torque split – for powerful acceleration
on long straights,
through tight corners
or on surfaces with different friction
coefficients.
In sport, it often comes down to those
crucial seconds. The optional Sport
Chrono Package
1) includes an analog and
digital timer located at the center of the dashboard. In conjunction
with PCM, the
performance display informs
you about
the total driving time, lap distance covered
so far, the number of laps completed and
individual lap times. Just in case you wish
to record your own personal best. Available as an option, Porsche Torque
Vectoring Plus (PT V Plus) is a system that
enhances driving dynamics and stability.
PT V Plus offers variable distribution

of engine torque to the rear wheels and an
electronically controlled rear differential. As standard, the Cayenne GTS is fit ted
with 20 -inch RS Spyder Design wheels.
These one-part alloy wheels feature a
race-inspired look.
Purism is about one thing above all:

maximum focus on that which is essen -
tial. High performance – achieved in the
most intelligent way.

We’re passionate about building cars that unleash great power.
With the means to responsibly control it.
We understand that it ’s difficult to
curb your enthusiasm. We feel exactly
the same when developing our safet y
concepts.
The new Cayenne GTS is fit ted as stand -
ard with six-piston monobloc aluminum
fixed calipers at the front and four-piston
equivalents at the rear. It has internally
vented discs all round, ensuring consist -
ent performance during heav y use. The
brake discs have a diameter of 360 mm
at the front and 330 mm at the rear and
the calipers are finished in red. Available
as an option, the Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB) offers race-
proven brake performance.
Included as standard, advanced Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM) is an auto -
matic control system that helps to
stabilize the vehicle in hazardous road
scenarios. If the throt tle pedal is suddenly
released, PSM automatically readies the
braking system. The pressure in the brake lines is marginally increased, bringing
each of the pads into light contact with the
cor-responding disc. In an emergency
stop, the brake assist function uses the
PSM hydraulics to apply maximum braking
force at all four wheels.
The car is equipped with standard full-size
airbags for driver and front passenger to
help ensure optimum protection. These

are augmented by Porsche Side Impact
Protection (POSIP) and a driver knee
airbag. This comprises a side airbag in
each front seat, curtain-t ype airbags on
each side of the roof and side impact protection elements in each door.
The Cayenne GTS features Bi-Xenon™
main
headlights with black surround and
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The dynamic cornering light function
swivels the main headlights towards the
inside of a corner based on the current
steering angle and road speed, while
the static cornering lights activate the
auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate
more of the road in tight corners and turns.
PDLS also features speed-sensitive
headlight control and an adverse weather
function, which is activated in conjunction
with the rear foglights. The result: even greater
safet y, not just at night and

during cornering.
LED technology is used for all functions
on the rear light modules – for an ultra-
fast response and greater luminance.
To enhance the car’s purist appearance, the LED taillights also feature a black

surround.
As any top athlete will know, ensuring your
safet y is of paramount importance. Only
then can you relax and enjoy the moment.
