Porsche to Launch the 2013 Cayenne GTS in Beijing

The upcoming Beijing Auto Show will see the official release of Porsche’s new and improved 2013 Cayenne GTS. Available in two new colors – Peridot Metallic and Carmine Red – the second generation Cayenne GTS has more than just a pretty face to offer.

Powering the SUV is a 420-horsepower V8 (that’s 20 hp more than the previous generation) coupled to an 8-speed Tiptronic S transmission (the 6-speed manual is no longer available). All that muscle is sent to the vehicle’s four wheels, and the result is a 0-60 mph time of just 5.4 seconds and a maximum speed of 162 mph. Start-Stop is standard, but the Sport Chrono package is not included in the base price.

Exterior features include a lower chassis – by 20mm, prominent side skirts, front fascia and hood borrowed from the Cayenne Turbo, wider wheel arches, a sport exhaust with matte black twin tailpipes, and 20-inch RS Spyder wheels. Inside, the car flaunts eight-way adjustable seats, Alcantara leather, and a Sound Symposer that takes authentic engine sounds inside the cabin.
