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.
