Porsche Cayenne GTS: All the info for the sporty SUV look

Actually, Porsche has only six models in the range. The sports cars 718 (Cayman and Boxster) and 911, the limousines Taycan and Panamera and the SUV Macan and Cayenne. Nevertheless, the tradition brings rich sports car brand of the German Zuffenhausen felt more innovations to the market as brands with twice as many models.

Because no other manufacturer understands it as well as Porsche, to present each variant of the model with the big dipper. Alone in the Panamera, it went off in 2016, with two entry-level models. There are two Hybrid versions (of course not at the same time) and the GTS followed in the stages of Turbo. And the forms in two body Panamera and Panamera Sport Turismo. So a Porsche holds its models to the real reissues in the conversation.

the most Recent example is the Cayenne. Three years after the launch of the GTS, and the Porsche has a little Surprise in Store: Counter to the current Trend to make all cars with smaller engines are more economical, he is not less, but more cylindrical than its predecessor. Pure means for the GTS of the third Cayenne Generation: V6 out of a V8. Probably because the Plug-in to sell to as well, and Porsche with the Taycan an electric car has to offer, it's to the sizes of the petrol engine back, without CO2 penalty payments to be feared.

of The same from Porsche itself-developed V8 with two Turbos and 4.0 liters of displacement comes in the Cayenne Turbo and the stronger of the two Plug-ins, the Turbo S E-Hybrid, to use. Since the GTS is positioned under the Turbo, the V8 here is a bit less and comes in at 460 HP (338 kW) and 620 Nm. The 20 HP and 20 Nm more than the predecessor. On pace for 100's series regular Sport Chrono package in 4.5 seconds, the peak is at 270 km/h.

the sound is a sport exhaust system provides. Suitable for this purpose, the GTS is two inches deeper than the normal Cayenne. Active dampers are on Board, and for a bit of a green Conscience, the cylinder deactivation system and a more efficient coordination of the 8-speed automatic provide. Nevertheless, the big Porsche SUV indulges in as a GTS 13,0 l / 100 km. From the beginning of July Cayenne are GTS (from 142'200 Fr.) and Cayenne Coupé GTS ( from 147'300 Fr.) to have.

sold as last year, This piecemeal strategy pays off for the Porsche to the full. In spite of the Corona-crisis and the worst auto year since 1968, the Porsche is better than a year ago. While the Swiss car market fell compared to the year-on-year in the first five months of 40 percent, has sold the sports car brand so far, 8.8 percent more cars than in 2019.

Clearly, since the end of March, with a Plus of 90 percent to beech, also failed to deal with Porsche in April and may, a good amount of feathers. The traditional brand has sold more cars than 2019, is expected to be mainly on the electric model Taycan. Because with it, Porsche has expanded its range at the end of last year from five to six models.

Yet another example of Porsche's variant of the machine: The 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design, Edition of 450-HP all-wheel drive car with a Targa roof, which can be in a sophisticated Choereografie up on a Alu-roll-bar to open the base. For the look of Porsche but in its history with race numbers on the doors, Golden lettering and coat-of-arms and red - or black-and-beige interior. 992 specimens of 226'700 francs, to be built for ab. On top of that, Porsche's watch Department Timepieces in Solothurn, has developed a matching watch. At the end of the story? No, there are still three more Heritage editions are to follow.
