New Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Boasts Most Powerful V8 Yet
The new Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT is powered by Porshe’s most powerful twin-turbocharged V8 engine produced yet.
The new Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT takes its place as the top-of-the-line in the Cayenne range and is powered by Porsche’s most powerful twin-turbocharged V8 engine yet.
Featuring upgrades to the crankshaft, turbochargers, and direct fuel injection system, the Cayenne Turbo GT’s 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine produces 631hp and 626 lb-ft of torque for a 0-60mph sprint time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 186mph, making it the fastest Cayenne to date.
Compared to the Cayenne Turbo Coupe, the Turbo GT version comes standard with a stack of performance upgrades, including new suspension and performance tires developed specifically for the GT.
Visually the Cayenne Turbo GT includes GT-specific details like the front fascia with a pronounced front lip and larger side air intakes. The contoured carbon-fiber roof, black fender arches, and the 22-inch GT Design wheels in Neodyme stand out at the sides of the Cayenne Turbo GT, while the upper rear wing features side plates in carbon fiber along with an adaptive rear spoiler that features a two-inch gurney flap (twice the size of the one on the Cayenne Turbo Coupe). The rear diffusor cover made of carbon fiber completes the rear design of the vehicle.
The Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT is further enhanced by eight-way Sport Seats in the front and a sport rear seat arrangement with two seats as standard. All seats are GT-specific with perforated seat centers in Alcantara, contrasting stitching in Neodyme or Arctic Grey, and “Turbo-GT” designations on the headrests.
The Turbo GT is also the first Cayenne model to adopt the next generation of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with a new user interface and new operation logic.
PCM 6.0 is fully compatible with Apple CarPlay as before, but now also allows for the integration of Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and now Android Auto, allowing more smartphones to be paired to the car.
The Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT is priced at US$180,800, with deliveries expected to begin early 2022.
