(October 12, 2012) With the power output of its twin-turbocharged engine increased by 10 per cent to 550 horsepower, the new Turbo S is the definitive Porsche Cayenne in which to cover ground quickly. With its advanced active chassis dynamics, the supreme four-wheel drive, five-seater surpasses the driving performance of many sports cars.

The intrinsic Cayenne virtues of versatile off-road capabilities, ride comfort and superior towing power have been preserved.  Its fuel consumption is identical to that of the Cayenne Turbo, which makes it more fuel-efficient in relation to its engine power. The new Turbo S model has an extra 50 horsepower of compared with the Cayenne Turbo, which translates to faster acceleration and a higher top speed. The sprint from 0-62 mph takes just 4.5 seconds (0.2 sec quicker), and the car accelerates to a top speed of 175 mph (+ 2 mph).



The Cayenne Turbo S has been carefully configured for maximum dynamic performance. Therefore, it incorporates all relevant control systems as standard equipment. From the already highly-capable Cayenne Turbo it takes the combination of an air suspension and active PASM damping control.

To this is added Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), which reduces the roll angle in curves to improve agility and comfort equally. Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) is also a standard feature, combining torque vectoring on the rear wheels with an electronically controlled rear differential lock to improve traction, thereby increasing agility in every driving situation. The new Cayenne Turbo S is also equipped with the Sport Chrono package as standard.

The exterior appearance of the Cayenne Turbo S clearly hints at its purposeful intent. Design highlights include the air inlet grilles, headlight housings and mirrors, which are painted in high-gloss black. The 21-inch diameter ‘911 Turbo II’ alloy wheels with colored Porsche centre badges are designed exclusively for the Cayenne Turbo S; their inside surfaces also painted in high-gloss black.

Porsche designers created new leather interior packages in fresh colors and patterns specifically chosen for the new Cayenne Turbo S.

The new Cayenne Turbo S will arrive early in 2013.
