New high-performance Porsche Cayenne variant arriving soon

A new high-performance variant of the Porsche Cayenne is set to be unveiled in the coming months that will sit above the Turbo variant and is likely to be called the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S.

The Porsche Cayenne nameplate has been synonymous with the sports SUV segment and the carmaker is set to expand the range with a new, more performance-oriented variant of the SUV that will sit above the Cayenne Turbo in the lineup. Porsche has released images of a lightly camouflaged version of what is likely to be the upcoming Porsche Cayenne Turbo S Coupe undergoing testing with the legendary two-time World Rally Champion Walter Röhrl at the wheel. While specifications in terms of power and torque outputs have been kept under wraps, Porsche has shed light on some of the finer aspects that will help make it quicker and even more dynamically accomplished than the Cayenne Turbo. The Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control or PDCC has been optimised for a more performance-oriented setup. A revamped front axle for improved handling has been incorporated and the front rims are now half an inch wider along with a 0.45-degree increase in negative camber to help increase the contact patch for the specially developed 22-inch rubber. Compared to the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S Coupe, the new variant sports a redesigned rear diffuser with centrally positioned twin-tailpipes and a more purposeful looking roof-mounted spoiler.
