When Porsche refreshed the third-generation Cayenne for the 2024 model 12 months, the GTS took the 12 months off, Porsche more keen to get its Turbo and E-Hybrid trims out. As the driver-centric performance option nodding to purity, the Gran Turismo Sport trim in standard and Coupe forms at all times seeks the sharpest balance of handling and weight with the required luxury. Now the trim will open the Cayenne’s 2025 model 12 months launches, bringing more power and a touch of Cayenne Turbo tech with it.
The twin-turbocharged, 4.0-liter V8 adds 40 more horsepower and 30 more pound-feet of torque than the 2023 Cayenne GTS, taking peak numbers to 493 hp and 487 lb-ft. That’s 29 more horses than present in the Cayenne S that uses the identical engine, 19 horses below the Cayenne S E-Hybrid. All that go runs through an eight-speed transmission to each axles, the gearbox said to supply shorter shift times in Sport mode.
Engineers swiped the Turbo GT Coupe’s front-axle pivot bearings that increase the front wheels’ negative camber by a fraction of a level, aiding turn-in response. The Turbo GT also provided its water-cooling circuit for the AWD for restraining temperatures during long bouts of hard running. Trim-specific tuning for the air suspension gets help from a torque vectoring rear differential as standard; Porsche’s latest energetic anti-roll suspension will probably be an option.
Every GTS comes with the automaker’s Sport Design Package as standard, but as an alternative of the body-colored trim applied to the previous version, the brand new GTS puts on gloss black for bits like greenhouse trim, rockers, and fender garnish. And as an alternative of the previous black exhaust suggestions, the brand new pipe extensions are available dark bronze. GTS Coupe customers get the choice of three lightweight packages that include center-exit bronze suggestions and can cut as much as 55 kilos from the SUV’s curb weight. Tinted headlights and taillights come on every version as standard, a set of 21-inch RS Spyder Design wheels hide red brake calipers.
Inside, there are all of the treats launched with this latest Cayenne, plus GTS-exclusive fittings just like the suede-adjacent Race Tex upholstery matched with leather, held along with red stitching. Black is the default color, Slate Gray and Carmine Red can be found in some unspecified time in the future after launch. Porsche also added more bolstering to the sports seats.
Pricing starts at $126,985 for the usual Cayenne, roughly $12,000 greater than before, and $131,495 for the coupe, a roughly $14,000 rise over the past model. Orders are open now, deliveries should begin toward the top of the 12 months.
