Porsche launches Porsche Cayenne Turbo S

Porsche Cayenne Turbo S

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo S has been revived for this new facelifted model and puts out 550 horsepower from its 4.8 liter twin turbocharged V8 gasoline engine, compared to the 520 horsepower of the pre-facelift Turbo S and the 450 horsepower of the regular Cayenne Turbo. Torque is up to 750Nm now, and the speedometer needle passes the 100km/h mark in 4.8 seconds.

Other unique Turbo S equipment include 21 inch SportPlus alloy wheels, and an exclusive “lava gray metallic” paint. Also, Porsche is offering for the first time ceramic composite brakes on the Cayenne model.

This could prompt the appearance of a new Mercedes-Benz ML65 AMG soon. The ML SUV range is currently topped by the ML63 AMG, powered by a normally aspirated 6.2 liter V8. Like other ?65 AMG models, the ML65 AMG will be powered by a twin turbocharged 6.0 liter SOHC V12 with 612 horsepower and 1000Nm of torque.

    Wah, Porsche improves the Cayenne’s engine figures to such height again. But I must say that an ML looks way much better.

    No worries, can buy some TOA spray paint and DIY the calipers.

    hey, sorry for going out of the topic here, just wanna ask raybrig85 one question, your murano, the podkeys come with a blue id card or not when you first received your suv? the blue id card serves as a purpose that if u lose it, then you can get new keys with that card…
