Porsche has unveiled the 2013 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, which is now the most-powerful version in the Cayenne model lineup. It’s powered by a 550 horsepower V8 and reaches 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds.
Under the hood the Cayenne Turbo S gets the same twin-turbocharged 4.8L V8 engine as the Panamera Turbo S, which generates 50 more horsepower and 37 more lb-ft. than the engine under the hood of the Cayenne Turbo. The Cayenne Turbo S also gets Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), which reduces the roll angle in curves to practically zero, improving agility and comfort equally. Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), which is also standard, operates with torque vectoring at the rear wheels together with an electronically controlled rear differential lock, which improves traction and therefore offers more agility in every driving situation. The new Cayenne Turbo S is also equipped with the Sport Chrono package as standard.
On the outside the Cayenne Turbo S gets exterior features such as the air inlet screens, headlight housings and mirror parts that are painted in high-gloss black. The standard 21-inch 911 Turbo II wheels with colored Porsche badges were exclusively designed for the Cayenne Turbo S; their inside surfaces are painted in high-gloss black.
Porsche designers created bi-color leather packages in new colors and color patterns specifically for the new Cayenne Turbo S. These interior features are available in black/carrera red or black/luxor beige color combinations.
Pricing for the 2013 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is expected to start at $146,975 when it arrives in showrooms next spring.
