2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS

Advertisement

Porsche will be displaying the Porsche Cayenne GTS at the 2007 Frankfurt International Motor Show, the latest addition to the Cayenne SUV model line-up. The Porsche Cayenne GTS is the first Cayenne to feature Porsche Active Suspension Management, and it is equipped with steel springs. This combination previously reserved exclusively for Porsche’s sports cars is a first for the Cayenne SUV.

The Porsche Cayenne GTS takes the 4.8 liter V8 from the Cayenne S and tunes it up to produce 20 more horsepower – the result is 405hp at 6,500rpm and a Cayenne S-matching 500Nm of torque at 3,500rpm. It also has a shorter axle drive ratio than the Cayenne S – 4.1:1 as opposed to 3.55:1. 0 to 100km/h takes 6.1 seconds – 0.5 seconds quicker than the Cayenne S with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

The front and rear design are taken from the top of the range engined Cayenne Turbo, and the Cayenne GTS is available with two new exclusive colours: GTS Red and Nordic Gold Metallic. The GTS slots in between the S and the Turbo.

    The bodykit looks a bit cheap and doesn’t blend well with the car. I think they have managed to make the car uglier!!

    Oh, but I do like the exhausts….

    Never liked the earlier ones, and still don’t like the new ones, probably won’t like the future ones too.

    no matter how ugly the Cayenne and how cheap it looks in your eyes, you and I still want one lol! But not with that rims! They look old, that rims are for the 80’s? Sorry I never like that kind of rim design…

    a random check in motor trader showed lots of grey import cayennes for sale. thanks to the govt’s now relaxed rules to make it attractive to bring in grey cars. there should be cheaper cayennes now, but all are old re-con models lah.
