Saw a first gen Cayenne S and the S was red. Significance?

 

Someone replaced their S.. the red S is available all over FleaBay..

 

I think he is asking what the red S symbolizes, not the source.

I know for Nissan GTRs, they signify NA or Turbo depending on blue or red "emblem." Not entirely sure if that applies here or purely for the looks.

 

I was wondering if it was a "special edition" or something like that.

 

No special edition just a replacement part. I've done it to my s and gts. Although the design edition 3 gts and I believe the trassyberia or whatever the black and Orange cayenne was called did have the s in gts red as standard from Porsche

 

Answer is no then.
Transsyberia and Titanium editions are only exclusive ones and I think Transsyberia is the only one with a special badge (orange).

 

I thought they were orange but I may be mistaken.
