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?

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.
