Porsche to show Cayenne GTS at Frankfurt

Porsche will show a GTS version of its Cayenne SUV at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. Based on the Cayenne S, the new model will feature a 405 horsepower V8, a revised suspension and 21 inch wheels. The GTS will also be lighter than the Cayenne S and wears a new aerodynamic body kit. The GTS features second-row bucket seats instead of the Cayenne's standard bench. Expect the newest Cayenne to hit showrooms early next year.

Porsche will also show a transparent Cayenne hybrid concept at Frankfurt, displaying Porsche's new drivetrain that was co-developed with Volkswagen, Audi and Bosch. The first Porsche hybrids should hit the market by the end of the decade. The Cayennes will share the stage with Porsche's new 911 GT2 and the Porsche Design Edition 1 Cayman S.

also with the latest sales figures in North American putting Cayenne up 45% this year, there's no doubt Porsche is keen to offer more selection. However, despite the original SUV mantra of off-road prowess, this GTS model seems to be dressed with urban street wear. A lowered suspension, 21-inch wheels, flashy body kit and special GTS Red paint scheme define the look. On the inside the rear seats are tossed to the trash bin in favor of two (most likely sporty) bucket seats essentially making it a strict four seater. The 4.8 liter V8 gets a slight power increase of 20hp to 405hp (302kW) but the most ironic aspect of the GTS is that it has been put on a diet. No specific weight loss figures have been divulged yet but apparently Porsche wished to improve driving dynamics and performance by trimming some excess. It will be interesting to see how the performance figures compare against the mighty Cayenne Turbo and even mightier Turbo S.

Interesting news Moh!
Thanks for the useful info :)

Oh my god, it looks terrific thank you for the pictures.

that looks pretty sweet!
thanks for sharing!

inside is terrible!!! I never seen this kind of cayenne inside!!! It look very very bad!!!!

Um looks like a regular grey interior to me lol Only difference is that it's a stick and dosent have a multifunction steering wheel. I hope there planning on making it in Tiptronic cause these will not sell :(

I love it, with a mnual to boot!! This truck may grab a lot of potential BMW X5 and MB ML owners looking to row their own gears.

Tiptronic IS an option. PDCC is an option. PASM is standard. 21" Wheels are standard. Sport Design Body kit is standard. Not a bad value.

ANd there is a fantastic Orange Pearl color too. Hot. (Nordic Gold)

Really, even great the regular cayenne drives like a dream and not far from stability and driving feel to some sports cars; I think the GTS will suite most folks who want to track their Cayenne in the weekend and haul the kids to a soccer match;)

oh my!!I like.. :D

u guys notice there's no height adjustment switchon the pasm?hmmmm

thanks for pointing that out, i just noticed it.

what is the other button (or light) next to the off road selector?

It looks good, especially the gold color. not so sure of the 6 speed manual.

because... the story says the suspension is steel springs WITH PASM like in a Carrera. To get AIR you have to order AIR, usually ordered with PDCC.

With Air suspension and PDCC this thing will be a BEAST.

I also think the 6.1s, 0-60 measurement is conservative. They shortened the final drive ratio... bumped 20hp lightened the truck... With a little wheelspin and a manual trans launch it may go faster.

Lets hope its RWD!

Interesting, looks good. I like the aero kit but the color looks like a dark red to me, others have mentioned gold??:confused: 6 speed is a unique touch, no height adjustment seems odd.

1280"

knowing Porsche, this will be expensive... and no high-rev like GT3 to 8,400rpm i'd take the Turbo instead.

That's Narrlly.

I can't see how a stick SUV would sell well! Let's see the TT with a stick!

looks okay, hopefully it sells

they are going to start at $69,xxx. Not bad if you ask me!

Alcantara Seat inserts, shifter, roof as well

I believe I read that it is Permanent all-wheel drive

Looks good!

I would love a 6 speed Turbo

Same here, has to be lighter and a three door version with small rear seats 911 style.:D

Nicee....Like it :)

Nordic Gold, looks vintage yet sport chic

They just put up the web special. I take it back looks like it will be a good seller! Comes with lots of stuff too. Rear seats are cool as hell!! And yes, you can order it in TIP! : )

Where did you see pics of the rear seats?

looking good

these wheels are really nice

There is one difference from the styling of the Turbo: Only the Turbo has the 2 bumps on the hood.

That would look very agressive ontop of a Nordic Gold GTS with Matte black Gemballa 22's.

I like the attention to detail that porsche has done to the interior, like the alacantra on the door cars, leather under the dash panels.

After looking at some basic touch ups, I believe a Matte Black Cayenne GTS emblem and a Carbon fiber interior trim would make it perfect.

looks good, i like the black interior over the grey.

The red in the promos seem darker.
