The heart of the Cayenne GTS beats with a powerful 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, meticulously crafted and refined to deliver an impressive 493 hp of power and a maximum torque of 660 Nm. This translates to exhilarating performance, with the Cayenne GTS sprinting from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds and reaching a top speed of 275 km/h.
However, performance is not the only forte of the Cayenne GTS. Porsche engineers have worked tirelessly to ensure that this dynamic SUV maintains its composure and comfort in everyday driving situations. The GTS-specific chassis, featuring adaptive air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), offers precise handling and exceptional ride quality.
