  • Cayenne and Cayenne GTS Debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show

    Porsche premiered two new Cayennes, Cayenne and Cayenne GTS, which are slightly more compelling than their predecessors.

    The new 2015 Cayenne GTS gets its power from a 3.6 liter V6 twin-turbo engine, which is a performance-oriented improved version of the new powertrain that was recently presented in the Cayenne S. The GTS’ power output is increased by 20 hp to 440 hp and torque by 62 ft.-lbs. to 445 ft.-lbs., while –observe!- fuel consumption is reduced. Porsche claims that its Cayenne GTS accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.2 seconds and has a top speed of 163 mph. The standard kit includes a sports exhaust, PASM and air suspension, and flared wheel arches. Yet, not to lose itself in too much standard dimensions, Porsche has added a new feature on the front doors: striking GTS lettering! Wow!

    Not to disappoint you but “standard” seems to be the leading factor in terms of the new models for there aren’t too many innovations with the base model. Cayenne is equipped with the familiar 3.6 liter V6 naturally aspirated engine. It produces 300 hp and accelerates the car from 0 to 62 mph in 7.7 seconds – 7.6 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package. Well, there is a slight enhancement obviously because that’s 0.2 seconds faster than before.

    Cayenne and Cayenne GTS are going to celebrating their world debut in November 19th at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Sales of the cars will begin in the United States at the end of February 2015. The price for the Cayenne is $58,300 and for the Cayenne GTS is $95,500.

  • Beefy Porsche Cayenne by JE Design

    JE-Design-Porsche-Cayenne-thumbJE Design have come up with a bodykit for the Porsche Cayenne that’s going to set you back 28,038 Euros ($34,338). It’s as if they have skinned an Alfa-Romeo Giulietta in a bit to create an exotic coat.

    The kit does not even sound that sophisticated – The front skirt (which comes in two versions, one for the Cayenne Turbo/GTS and one for the Cayenne Diesel/S) utilizes the standard LED daytime running lights. Both skirts however do boast an optimized airflow and some low-mounted fog lights as well as long beam lights next to them. The JE Design hood also showcases some airflow thanks to three air outlets. At the back, 100 millimeter pipes (four of them) surround a diffuser while the C pillars get a pair extension. Also the wheel arches flare more know thanks to the new fenders. In case one feels like towing something with the now even more muscular Cayenne, there’s a cover on the rear bumper that hides the coupling device. The side sills also blend into the standard Cayenne design yet they radiate their own sportishness.

    An aggressive stance is achievable through the suspension as well. A JE Design air module can be controlled through an iPhone app and does not hinder Porsche‘s Active Suspension Management damping system. Add to that four 10 x 22-inch alloy rims that have either five double spokes or five single spokes. The 295/30 R22 tires fill in nicely the beefed up wheel arches especially when we consider the 60 mm front and 80 mm back spacers.

    It’s not all show and tell though. The Cayenne can seriously start shifting down the road with the JE Design engine management upgrades which are available for both petrol and diesel engines. The end power output may end up at 610 hp – serious stuff.
