Porsche has officially unveiled the GTS lineup for the 2021 Porsche Cayenne. The 2021 Porsche Cayenne GTS will be available in both crossover and “coupe” versions. I refuse to acknowledge that a four door SUV with a shorter roof line qualifies as an actual coupe. Nevertheless, that’s the marketing world we currently live in. The biggest change with the GTS performance package from the predecessor is the return of the all mighty V8. 2021 Porsche Cayenne GTS will be powered by a twin turbo 4.0 liter V8 cranking out 454 horsepower and 457 pound feet of torque. This means two more cylinders, 20 extra ponies, and a top speed of 168 mph (270 km/h). Cayenne GTS equipped with Porsche’s Sport Chrono package will be able to hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.
Porsche offers the Cayenne in a variety of flavors. With the GTS, the sport suspension lowers the Cayenne’s ride height down by 0.8 inches (20 mm). Standard equipped includes Porsche’s Active Suspension Management system and Torque Vectoring Plus. Essential for defying the laws of physics in this sports SUV. Additional performance options on the 2021 Porsche Cayenne GTS are Dynamic Chassis Control, rear axle steering, and three chamber air suspension. Red caliber cast iron brakes are standard, but buyers can opt for tungsten carbide coated or ceramic composite brakes. For Porsche owners with child seats and track day passes.
Inside the Cayenne GTS are Alcantara upholstery accents, brushed aluminum trim, and exclusive sports seats. The GTS logo is dressed tastefully throughout the interior to let people know that this is no ordinary German performance SUV. Prices for the US market start at $107,300 for the Cayenne GTS and $110,500 for the GTS Coupe. Porsche will be launching the 2021 Cayenne GTS in fall 2020. Unless you live near Germany, in which case they are available to order and deliveries are scheduled as soon as summer 2020.
