Philosophy
Developing the new Cayenne GTS was an exercise in what we do best: more performance, more agility, a more immediate driving experience. In short: more sport – both visually and technically – and designed exclusively for the road.

The 4.8-liter naturally aspirated V8 features direct fuel injection (DFI) and a range of performance enhancements compared with the Cayenne S. The revised intake manifold and engine management system enable greater power and efficiency. The results: 405 hp at 6,500 rpm and 369 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,500 rpm.

Drive is transmitted through a high-performance six-speed manual gearbox or optional six-speed Tiptronic S. The GTS model has a shorter final-drive ratio which increases acceleration. The benchmark sprint to 60 mph requires just 5.7 seconds with standard manual gearbox. Top track speed is 157 mph. The sound is specially enhanced by the standard sports exhaust system.

Another special feature on the new Cayenne GTS is Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM with standard Air suspension. The ride height has been lowered by 20 mm with air suspension to improve handling and high-speed stability. The car’s cornering potential is immediately apparent from the standard 21-inch Cayenne Sport wheels. Engine power is more than matched by the red-caliper brakes with internally vented discs measuring 350 mm in
diameter at the front.

Design

The performance capability of the new Cayenne GTS is reflected in the exterior design. The front and rear sections are identical to those on the Cayenne Turbo. The color-coded lower mouldings (front, side and rear) enhance the car’s dynamic appearance. An elongated roof spoiler with fixed bi-plane profile is available as a no-cost option. The side window surrounds, door handles and door-sill trim strips have a stylish black finish. Another feature unique to the GTS model is the set of dual-tube
chrome tailpipes from the sports exhaust system.

The interior shares the same sporting style, from the stainless steel door-sill guards with ‘Cayenne GTS’ logo to the high-grip padded leather steering wheel. The standard leather interior also includes parts of the dashboard, center console, door panels and steering wheel airbag module. Among the features unique to the new Cayenne GTS are the new 12-way electrically adjustable sports seats with added lateral support. The front and rear seat centers are finished in non-slip Alcantara, as are the roof lining, manual gear-lever boot and parts of the door panel trim. The rear seats have a two-seater look but are actually designed for up to three adult occupants.

The ‘Sport’ aluminum package uses aluminum trim on the dashboard and doors to
enhance the car’s sporting style.

Drive is transmitted through a high-performance six-speed manual gearbox or optional six-speed Tiptronic S. The GTS model has a shorter final-drive ratio which increases acceleration. The benchmark sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) requires just 6.1 seconds (with standard manual gearbox). Maximum speed is 253 km/h (157 mph). The sound is specially enhanced by the standard sports exhaust system.

Another special feature on the new Cayenne GTS is the combination of steel-sprung sports suspension and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). (Air suspension is available as an option.) The ride height has been lowered by 24 mm (20 mm with air suspension) to improve handling and high-speed stability. The car’s cornering potential is immediately apparent from the standard 21-inch Cayenne Sport wheels. Engine power is more than matched by the red-caliper brakes with internally vented discs measuring 350 mm in diameter at the front.
