Porsche has introduced to its Cayenne portfolio the updated GTS, which, sporting a 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 petrol, is now endowed with 30 kW and 40 N.m of torque more than its predecessor. The result: peak power and torque outputs of 368 kW and 660 N.m, sent to all four corners via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
According to the German marque, the Cayenne GTS variants (as a reminder, there are the traditionally styled SUV model and the Coupé derivative) completes the obligatory 0-100 km/h sprint in 4.4 seconds, before topping out at a maximum speed of 275 km/h.
