Porsche Cayenne GTS US Pricing

 Porsche Cayenne GTS US Pricing
Porsche Cayenne GTS to be introduced to the Americans

SUV bows in Chicago

Porsche is finally bringing the Cayenne GTS to American soil, and we have the pricing information to go with it.  Making its U.S. debut at the 100th Chicago auto show in February, the GTS will be revealed to Americans with a $69,300 price tag.

Porsche is marketing the Cayenne GTS as an on-road and off-road mean machine.  With 405 horses coming from its 4.8 liter V8, it is hard to call this SUV underpowered.  Automatic Tiptronic S is available as an option, with a six-speed manual transmission coming standard.  21-inch alloy rims come standard, as does air suspension and Porsche Active Suspension Management.  Separating the GTS from the rest of the Cayenne model line is the lower body and wheel arches made specifically for the 21-inch alloys.  Alcantara keeps the interior looking and feeling Porsche, while keeping the driver and passengers comfortable.

The 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS is officially on sale beginning in February.

GTS to Offer the Best on-Road Characteristics of Any Cayenne Porsche


ATLANTA--Jan. 29, 2008--Porsche will add some spice to the 100th anniversary of the Chicago Auto Show by unveiling the Cayenne GTS to the American public. Already known for exceptional on and off-road prowess, the GTS has been formulated, tested and tweaked to offer the best on-road characteristics of any Cayenne Porsche has ever produced.


The Cayenne GTS features a 405hp 4.8 liter V-8 engine. Based on the same V8 found in the Cayenne S, this more robust powerplant can be coupled either with an automatic Tiptronic S or, for the first time in a Cayenne V8, a six-speed manual transmission for those who want to take full advantage of this new power and suspension package. The GTS gets its cornering prowess from standard 21-inch alloy rims equipped with 295/35 R21 tires and air suspension that features Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).


The Cayenne GTS front end is reminiscent of the Cayenne Turbo while the body has a lower stance and a striking new wheel-arch design that complements the new 21-inch rims. The interior boasts redesigned front and rear seats that offer a sportier look and feel with Alcantara to hold both driver and passenger in place during spirited driving.


The 2008 Cayenne GTS goes on sale in February and pricing for this new model is US $69,300.

Certainly appreciate the fact that one can get the turbo bodykit for 20K less; really seems a bargain compared to it in many aspects. Don't like the Alcantra seats though, and Porsche should work on is interiors; they look too plasticky. And if the main consumers for this type of car are moms who drive their kids to school and go shopping, I doubt that they'll want or even know how to use the manual with clutch and all.
