Porsche is completing its Cayenne model line, which was comprehensively revised in 2023, with the new, particularly dynamic GTS (Gran Turismo Sport) models. The SUV and Coupé combine a 368 kW (500 PS) twin-turbo V8 engine with performance-driven chassis systems.
The car is now equipped with adaptive air suspension as standard, including Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus). All chassis components and control systems, such as Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and the optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), are specifically designed for optimal on-road performance.
The GTS’ two-valve damper technology offers impressive responsiveness, and its two-chamber air suspension gives the car a highly dynamic spring rate while simultaneously ensuring driver comfort. The front axle pivot bearings of the Cayenne GTS models originate from the Cayenne Turbo GT (not offered in Europe). They increase the negative camber of the wheels by 0.58 degrees in comparison to other Cayenne models. The result is agile cornering and exceptional handling dynamics.
In addition to the finely tuned chassis, the charismatic V8 is another important feature of the Cayenne GTS. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, developed by Porsche and manufactured in Zuffenhausen, has undergone extensive technical revision.
This has resulted in efficiency gains and a significant increase in performance: the engine now produces 368 kW (500 PS) of power—an increase of 30 kW (40 PS) compared to the previous model. The maximum torque is now 660 N·m, an increase of 40 N·m. The revised eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission noticeably improves driving performance through shorter response and shift times in Sport and Sport Plus modes.
The new Cayenne GTS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds. The top speed is 275 km/h. A further technical innovation is that the transfer box for the all-wheel drive Porsche Traction Management (PTM) features an independent water cooling circuit. This technology is also adopted from the high-performance Turbo GT model. It stabilizes the continuous load capacity—for example when tackling track driving or navigating mountain routes.
Porsche is offering the new Cayenne GTS in Germany as an SUV priced from €138,000 and as an SUV Coupé priced from €141,700 including VAT and country-specific basic equipment. Both models are now available to order. Deliveries in Europe will begin in Summer 2024.
