Porsche announces two new model variants to the 2021 Cayenne lineup: the Cayenne GTS and Cayenne GTS Coupe. The highly sporty new models mark the return of a V8 engine to the GTS.

The Porsche-developed 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 generates 453 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque. Mated to an eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission and Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive, the new models are capable of reaching 60 mph in 4.5 seconds or 4.2 seconds using Performance Start, which is included in the optional Sport Chrono Package (standard on Coupe). Those acceleration times mark an improvement of 0.4 seconds and 0.6 seconds respectively as compared to the 0-60 mph sprint of the preceding Cayenne GTS.

Sport Exhaust is also included as standard equipment with all Cayenne GTS models. The specially configured system features tailpipes on the outer edges of the rear bumper and help to create a fitting soundtrack to the enhanced dynamics.

Sporty, agile performance is at the core of what makes the GTS models special. To that end, both model derivations receive revised Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) dampers that, in combination with the standard three-chamber Air Suspension, lower the chassis by 30 mm as compared to the Cayenne S.

The standard Sport Design package ensures a unique and exclusive appearance in combination with numerous accents in black. The new Cayenne GTS models are equipped as standard with 21-inch RS Spyder Design wheels in satin black.

High-quality materials such as Alcantara on the headliner, seat centers, center console armrests and doors, as well as black brushed aluminium, make it possible to also see and feel the sporty character of the Cayenne GTS models. Standard eight-way sport seats offer optimal support for dynamic cornering due to the increased height of their side bolsters.
