Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT: Exterior Changes

Up front, the changes are limited to a new reprofiled bumper that gets larger air dams and a more prominent spoiler. Towards the side, we see new 22-inch GT design wheels finished in Neodyme along with a new more prominent black wheel arch extension. Moving to the rear, we again see functional additions like a modified roof spoiler and a retractable boot lip spoiler with carbon-fibre side wing elements which add 40 kilograms of additional downforce to the vehicle. Other notable changes include a central exit for the titanium exhaust and carbon fibre mirror caps.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT: Interior Changes

On the inside, the four-wheeler gets a new sports steering wheel with Sports Response button, eight-way adjustable sport seats in the front and a sport rear seat system with two seats as standard. Further, the seat centre panels are finished in GT-specific perforated Alcantara with contrast accents in Neodyme or Arctic Grey and ‘turbo GT’ lettering on their headrests.

The company is debuting its next-generation Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system with this four-wheeler. The new infotainment unit offers improved performance, new user interface and a new operating logic.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT: Powertrain Upgrades

Compared to the standard Cayenne Turbo, the Turbo GT model features prominent upgrades to the chassis and suspension giving the SUV ultimate dynamism. Its ride height has been decreased by 17mm while the suspension has been stiffened by 15 percent. In addition, the vehicle also gets an active roll stabilisation system and rear axle steering.

It comes powered by a 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 petrol engine producing a maximum power output of 640bhp and 850Nm of peak torque. The car completes the 0-100 kmph sprint in under 3.3 seconds.

The Cayenne Turbo GT rivals the likes of the Lamborghini Urus and the Audi RS Q8 in India.
