2015 Porsche Cayenne GTS Unveiled For LA Auto Show
Author : amirul-mukminin
We all know Porsche has at least five to six variants for each of its model in the lineup. The
Cayenne family, currently occupied by the S, Diesel, Turbo and E-Hybrid models, is now
complete with the introduction of the new Porsche Cayenne GTS. It will make its debut at the
upcoming LA Auto Show later this month alongside a new base model.
The biggest change for the Cayenne GTS would be the engine, where the naturally aspirated
V8 in the previous model has been omitted in favour of a more powerful, cleaner 3.6-litre twin-
turbo V6 engine. It packs 440 hp and 602 Nm of torque, which is 20 hp and 52 Nm higher than
the Cayenne S that utilises the same drivetrain. The bulky SUV completes the 0 to 100 km/h
sprint in 5.2 seconds, a second slower than the range-topping Turbo variant.
Befitting the performance-oriented badge, the Cayenne GTS features the Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM) damping system with air suspension that renders it 20 mm
lower. Braking power is provided by the Turbo's 390 mm and 358 mm rotors fitted on the front
and rear axles, respectively. They come complete with flashy red calipers.

The exterior is embellished with larger air intakes (like the Cayenne Turbo) and a bunch of black
painted elements such as the head and tail lights apertures, exhaust tailpipes, lettering and the
20-inch RS Spyder wheels. Additionally, the Sport Design package gives contoured rocker
panels and wheel arch extensions.
Inside, the Cayenne GTS gets eight-way electrically adjustable sports seats wrapped in leather
and Alcantara as well as GTS lettering on the headrests.

The base model Cayenne, on the other hand, packs a modest 300-hp 3.0-litre V6 engine mated
to a new eight-speed Tiptronic S gearbox with auto start/stop. In its standard guise, the
SUV sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds, which is 0.2 second faster than its predecessor.
However, with the optional Sport Chrono package, the Cayenne can arrive at the same speed in
just 7.6 seconds.
The Cayenne is not the most equipped variant in the lineup but it still offers a comprehensive
array of items such as bi-xenon headlights with four-point LED DRL and a multi-function
sport steering wheel with paddle shifters.

Stuttgart. The new Cayenne GTS announces its outstanding sporting character in its very
name. The letters GTS go back to the famous 904 Carrera GTS of 1963. In 2007, the Cayenne
GTS became the first Porsche of the modern era to revive the acronym. Since then GTS has
stood at Porsche for especially sporty models. At the same time, the new entry-level model with
the familiar 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine rounds off the Cayenne portfolio at the lower end of the
range.
Porsche drivers like their car to be sporty – regardless of whether it has two doors or four. At
eleven percent, the GTS version of the Cayenne makes up a high proportion of the model mix
of what is currently Porsche's most successful range, with the four-door sports cars in general
long since making a major contribution to the company's profitable growth. At the same time
they ensure future investment in the broad spectrum of highly dynamic models offered across
the entire portfolio.
It is not only the name of the Cayenne GTS that is resonant. The 3.6-litre V6 bi-turbo engine is
the performance-oriented enhancement of the new power unit presented in the Cayenne S. Its
consumption is lower and it delivers improved levels of performance. Compared to the previous
model with a V8 naturally aspirated engine, power output rises by 20 hp to 440 hp and torque
by 85 Nm to 600 Nm, while fuel consumption goes down by up to 0.9 l/100 km. The Cayenne
GTS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, or just 5.1 seconds with the optional Sport
Chrono package. That's 0.5 and 0.6 seconds respectively less than the previous model. Top
speed is 262 km/h. As standard it has a sports exhaust system, which provides the familiarly
meaty GTS sound.
Thanks not least to its suspension the Cayenne GTS captivates drivers with its unmistakable
lateral dynamics. The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) damping system has a
sporty set-up. With the standard steel-spring suspension the vehicle sits 24 millimetres lower,
while with the optional air suspension it's 20 millimetres. Further standard features include the
brakes from the Cayenne Turbo with 390-millimetre discs on the front axle (358 millimetres at
the back), inclusive of brake callipers painted red in typical turbo fashion.
Other design attributes also turn the Cayenne GTS externally into a sporty vehicle. As standard
it has the turbo nose section with large air intakes and the Sport Design package, including
more contoured side sills and wheel arch extensions. The latter, like the roof spoiler and lower
rear of the vehicle, are painted in the car body colour. The colour black provides some striking
contrasts: all lettering is black, as are the 20-inch wheels in the RS Spyder design, the exhaust
tailpipes, the bi-xenon headlights' inner apertures and the fittings of the darkened LED rear
lights. There's a new feature on the front doors: striking GTS lettering.
The sporting character continues on the inside. Eight-way electrically adjustable GTS sports
seats in leather/Alcantara upholstery, including GTS lettering on the headrests, are fitted as
standard. Alcantara is the predominant upholstery material used inside the car. The interior GTS
package is optionally available in carmine red or rhodium silver with rev counter face, decorative
stitching, headrest lettering and safety belts in contrasting colour.
The engine used in the Cayenne, the new base model, is the familiar 3.6-litre V6 naturally

aspirated engine, delivering 300 hp. It accelerates the Cayenne from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7
seconds – 7.6 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package. That's 0.2 seconds faster than
before. At 230 km/h, top speed matches the level of the previous model. Like all new Cayenne
models it benefits from the general efficiency measures, such as coasting, Auto Stop/Start
function and thermal management, as a result of which fuel consumption drops in comparison to
the previous model by 0.7 l/100 km to 9.2 l/100 km. That equates to CO2 emissions of 215
g/km, thus 21 g/km lower than before.
Compared to the previous model the new Cayenne also offers more comprehensive standard
features. In addition to the new eight-speed Tiptronic S with Auto Stop/Start and coasting
functions these also include, for instance, the bi-xenon main headlights with four-point LED
daytime driving lights, the multi-function sports steering wheel with paddle switches and the
automatic boot lid.
The Cayenne and Cayenne GTS are celebrating their world premiere on November 19th at the
2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Sales of both models will start in Germany at the end of February
2015. The price for the Cayenne in Germany is 65,427 Euro and for the Cayenne GTS 98.152
Euro, in each case including value added tax and country-specific features.
Porsche Cayenne GTS: urban fuel consumption 13.2–12.9 l/100 km; extra-urban 8.3–8.1 l/100
km; combined 10.0–9.8 l/100 km; CO2 emissions 234–228 g/km; efficiency class Germany: E–D
Porsche Cayenne: urban fuel consumption 12.3 l/100 km; extra-urban 7.5 l/100 km; combined
9.2 l/100 km; CO2 emissions 215 g/km; efficiency class: D
