Porsche rounds off the Cayenne model range with the new Cayenne Turbo GT, which combines outstanding driving dynamics with a high degree of everyday usability.
Its 631bhp four-litre bi-turbo V8 provides the basis for its superb driving characteristics. With 89bhp more than the Cayenne Turbo Coupe and a maximum torque of 850Nm, the Cayenne Turbo GT boasts a zero to 100km/h sprint of 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 300km/h.
True to its sporty DNA, the Cayenne Turbo GT comes with all available chassis systems fitted as standard and performance tyres developed specially for this model.<img alt="" data-caption="The rear is rounded off by a striking carbon diffuser panel.

The result is a practical SUV with outstanding racetrack capability, proven by its completion of the Nurburgring Nordschleife in seven minutes and 38.9 seconds – a new official SUV record.
For example, the damper characteristics of the Porsche Active Suspension Management, as well as Power Steering Plus and rear-axle steering have also been adapted. The Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control active roll stabilisation system now operates with performance-oriented control software. The result is even better roll stability and road holding, as well as more precise turn-in behaviour at higher cornering speeds.
Optionally available in Arctic Grey paintwork, the Cayenne Turbo GT underlines its exceptional athleticism through its progressive design. These include a model-specific front apron with enlarged side cooling air intakes, creating a unique front view.
A carbon roof and black wheel arch extensions, together with 22-inch GT Design wheels in Neodyme dominate its side view. The rear is rounded off by a striking diffuser panel made of carbon.
Inside, eight-way sport seats in the front come as standard, as well as two sports seats at the back. They each come with GT-specific perforated seat centre panels in Alcantara, contrast accents in Neodyme or Arctic Grey, and ‘Turbo GT’ lettering on their headrests.
The multi-function sports steering wheel features a yellow 12 o’clock marking. Depending on the specified trim, accent strips are finished in matt Black.<img alt="" data-caption="The multi-function sports steering wheel features a yellow 12 o'clock marking.
