The New Porsche Cayenne GTS Introducing the Cayenne GTS, Porsche is once again setting the standard in the market segment of sports utility vehicles. This is the first model within the Cayenne range to feature a combination of steel springs and PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management, that is the suspension already well-known on Porsche's sports cars. A further point is that the Cayenne GTS is 24 millimetres or 0.95" lower than the Cayenne and Cayenne S, with this very exclu-sive sporting model coming as standard on 21-inch wheels measuring 295/35 in size. V8 normal-aspiration power unit with even higher output The superior V8 normal-aspiration power unit with DFI Direct Fuel Injection based on the powerful engine already featured in the Cayenne S ensures spontaneous power and per-formance at all times. The extra power of the engine comes to bear above all at higher en-gine speeds, with maximum output of 405 bhp (298 kW) at 6,500 rpm, an increase over the Cayenne S by 20 bhp. Maximum torque of 500 Newtonmetres/369 lb-ft, in turn, comes at 3,500 rpm. This increase in power and torque is the result of detailed refinement on the high-performance power unit, Porsche's engineers focusing above all on the intake manifold and ensuring an even smoother, unrestricted supply of air: Benefiting from the even larger cross-section of the Y-shaped air manifold, even more air is now able to reach the throttle butterfly in a smooth process, the throttle butterfly itself being enlarged in diameter from 76 to 82 milli-metres (3.0 -3.2"). Sports Button for even better response The Sports Button featured as standard in the new Cayenne GTS offers the driver the choice of a basic setting for optimised fuel economy and particularly sportsoriented driving qualities in the Sports Mode. This special sports setting adjusts the accelerator pedal control map and modifies the response of the engine accordingly. A further point is that when pressing the Sports Button the driver also switches over the sports exhaust system likewise standard on the Cayenne GTS to even lower counter-pressure and activates the Sports Mode on Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). The Cayenne GTS comes as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox, that is the same transmission already featured on the Cayenne S. However, the final drive ratio on this new sports model has been shortened from 3.55:1 to 4.1:1. Together with the more powerful engine, the GTS thus offers even better acceleration and greater agility, ensuring a standard of performance quite exceptional in its class: Acceleration to 100 km/h comes in just 6.1 seconds, with the ultra-sporting and dynamic Cayenne GTS completing the interim sprint from 80 to 120 km/h (50-75 mph) in just 6.6 seconds. Top speed, finally, is 253 km/h or 157 mph. Steel suspension and PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management For the first time the Cayenne now comes with a combination of steel springs on the suspension with PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management, a high-tech adaptive damper system. Compared with the Cayenne S, the steel springs on the Cayenne GTS are firmer and tauter, and the entire vehicle is lowered by 24 millimetres or 0.95". At the same time camber on the front and rear wheels is somewhat more negative than on the "regular" Cayenne S, allo-wing the Cayenne GTS to achieve even higher lateral acceleration. To match the steel springs, Porsche's engineers have developed a special variant of PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management, introducing a special control strategy for an even more sporting style of motoring. And like the PASM suspension on the other versions within the Cayenne range, PASM may be combined with air suspension also on the Cayenne GTS. The superior standard of driving dynamics provided by the new Cayenne GTS from the start can be further enhanced by air suspension with PASM in conjunction with the optional PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control anti-roll stability system. This continuous, ongoing stability system limits side sway of the car in bends, providing almost complete compensation of body roll under nearly all driving conditions. Responding very quickly to specific requirements, PDCC is indeed able, through its active anti-roll bars, to build up appropriate support forces even before the body is able to start swaying in a bend. Sporting look both outside and inside The Cayenne GTS clearly expresses its outstanding status as a very sporting and dynamic model also through its looks. The front of the vehicle with its large air intakes and the powerful rear end are reminiscent of the particularly muscular look of the Cayenne Turbo. The wheel arches, in turn, are flared out an extra 14 millimetres or 0.55" to accommodate the Cayenne sport wheels running on 295/35 tyres. Black trim plates over the B- and C-pillars, as well as black window surrounds and door handles, finally, give the Cayenne GTS a particularly muscular appearance full of character at very first sight. The highlight within the Cayenne GTS with its sophisticated fittings and features is the spor-ting but comfortable seats, the driver and front passenger enjoying life on 12-way sports seats with extra-high side support elements. Indeed, the seats adjust not only vertically and horizontally at the touch of a button, but also allow adjustment of the seat bottom angle and the backrest angle, as well as the lumbar support. And the rear seat bench, matching this configuration, also comes with individual seat contours reflecting the particular character of the car.
