Beijing 2008: Porsche Cayenne Turbo S gets more power and torque

We are used to nice amounts of power from Porsche vehicles however; the Cayenne has never produced enough power for the Asian and Eastern European market. It seems as if the drivers in those parts of the world demand more power, and the German automaker has answered this with the launch of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, and just to tease us Porsche were showing the powerful SUV at Beijing 2008.

Porsche have given the new Porsche Cayenne Turbo S more power and torque thanks to an update in its management system as well as a new exhaust system. The end result is more horsepower 550HP in fact; all this is handled nicely through the 6-speed Tiptronic S gearbox. Have you ever known an SUV to go from 0 to 60 in just 4.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 174MPH. With all that extra power it will be a mammoth task to bring the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S to a stop, which is where the new 16-inch ceramic composite brakes comes in, so now you have more engine power as well as braking power.

The new more powerful Porsche Cayenne Turbo S will be launched in August with prices starting at €111,400, as you can see having this extra power has made this SUV more expensive and I am sure that people will pay the little extra.
