2013 Cayenne Turbo S packs a 550-horsepower punch and go-anywhere capability.
Porsche’s new Cayenne Turbo S SUV boasts 50 more horsepower than the Cayenne Turbo and employs advanced active chassis technologies. These technologies allow it to surpass the driving performance of many sports cars, while preserving the off-road capability, ride comfort and towing ability typical of the Cayenne.
In addition to an increase of 50 more horsepower than the Cayenne Turbo, the new Turbo S also benefits from increased engine torque, boosted from 516 to 553 pound-feet. The sprint from zero to 60 mph now takes just 4.3 seconds, and the Cayenne Turbo S accelerates to a top track speed of 175 mph.
Equipped for maximum dynamic performance, it incorporates chassis and drivetrain technologies that are optional on the Cayenne Turbo. More specifically, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), and Power Steering Plus are now standard. Also standard is the air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which is already standard on the Cayenne Turbo. PDCC allows for even flatter cornering, improving agility and ride comfort. PTV Plus adds torque vectoring at the rear wheels together with an electronically controlled rear differential lock, which improves traction and therefore offers more agility in a wide range of driving situations.
The exterior of the Cayenne Turbo S sports front air intakes and rear view mirror trim, painted in high-gloss black. The standard 21-inch 911 Turbo II wheels with colored Porsche badges are exclusively tailored for the Cayenne Turbo S with inside surfaces painted in high-gloss black.
Porsche designers created an exclusive two-tone leather interior package that is available in either Black/Carrera Red or Black/Luxor Beige combinations. They feature an exclusive combination of contrasting colors and pieces that are further accented by deviated stitching throughout. Front and rear seats feature the Porsche Crest embossed on the headrests while the roof is covered in Alcantara. The instrument panel, door, and center console trim showcase the standard Carbon Fiber interior package that further complements the exclusive interior.
For 2013, the new Cayenne Turbo S is also equipped with the Sport Chrono package as standard, which includes an analog and digital timer located at the center of the dashboard. The performance display informs the occupants about the total driving time, lap distance covered so far and individual lap times. It also shows latitudinal and longitudinal acceleration via the TFT display in the instrument cluster.
Scheduled to go on sale in the spring of 2013, the Cayenne Turbo S is priced from $146,000 not including a $975 destination charge. For more information about the latest vehicles from Porsche, please visit http://www.porsche.com/usa/
