    Porsche has introduced the most powerful Cayenne ever. The new 2013 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S comes with 550HP and 750Nm of torque. It also features complex active chassis offering unique driving performance.

    Despite the additional power, the 2013 Cayenne Turbo S achieves NEDC fuel consumption of 11.5 litres per 100 km is the same as that of the Cayenne Turbo. The new Turbo S model accelerates 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 283 km/h, which is 0,2 seconds faster than Cayenne Turbo.

    The new Turbo S is all about driving performance, so it comes with combination of an air suspension and active PASM damping control.

    All this systems helps you not only be safer on the road, but to be incredibly fast – on-road, off-road and of course at the race track.
