Cayenne GTS: Where Muscle Meets Refinement

The Porsche Cayenne GTS is a high-performance variant that bridges the gap between the standard Cayenne and the Turbo models. It’s powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 493 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque, offering significantly more muscle than the base Cayenne’s 3.0-liter turbocharged V6. Porsche equips the GTS with a sport exhaust system, adaptive air suspension tuned for sharper handling, and a host of visual upgrades including blacked-out trim, darkened tail lights, and 21-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the GTS features Alcantara upholstery, GTS-specific sport seats, and a more driver-focused ambiance.

Compared to the standard Cayenne, the GTS delivers a more athletic driving experience and a sportier aesthetic. While the base model emphasizes luxury and versatility, the GTS leans into performance with firmer suspension, quicker throttle response, and a more visceral exhaust note. The styling is also more assertive, with a Sport Design body kit and exclusive trim elements that signal its enhanced capabilities.

“Just like the 911 sports car, the 2025 Porsche Cayenne SUV serves as the de facto benchmark for driving enjoyment in its respective segment,” enthused Car and Driver, which named Cayenne the best mid-size luxury SUV of the year.
