2025 Porsche Cayenne GTS Roars Back With Punchier V8 And Turbo GT Suspension Parts

It has been a year since Porsche refreshed the third-generation Cayenne, but one crucial member was conspicuously absent. Now, the 2025 Cayenne GTS makes its comeback in both standard and Coupe bodystyles, boasting an enhanced twin-turbo V8, a more responsive suspension configuration, sportier design elements, and a host of additional standard features.While it is not as immensely powerful as the Turbo S E-Hybrid or as track-focused as the Turbo GT, the GTS (Gran Turismo Sport) occupies a sweet spot in the Cayenne lineup, blending a driver-focused configuration with practical everyday usability.Review: The V8-Powered 2024 Porsche Cayenne S Is The Best Of Its KindThe highlight of the facelifted version is the extensively updated twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, now generating 493 hp (367 kW / 500 PS) and 487 lb-ft (660 Nm) of torque.

This marks a healthy increase of 40 hp (29 kW) and 30 lb-ft (40 Nm) over the outgoing Cayenne GTS, while keeping a safe distance from the Cayenne S, which utilizes a 468 hp (474 PS / 349 kW) variant of the same engine.The twin-turbo V8 is exclusively paired with an eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic gearbox, which channels power to all four wheels through the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) system. Similar to the setup in the Turbo GT, the PTM system features a separate cooling circuit, enhancing durability during enthusiastic driving.The power increase translates to slight enhancements in performance, with the Cayenne GTS now capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 96 km/h) in 4.2 seconds and reaching a top speed of 171 mph (275 km/h).The standard two-chamber air suspension with adaptive dampers has a GTS-specific setup, sitting 10 mm (0.4 inches) lower compared to the regular versions.

Handling is further improved by the increased negative camper of the front wheels, with pivot bearings sourced from the Turbo GT. The active roll stabilization system (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control) is optional, but the Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus is included as standard.More aggressive looks and new kitThe GTS inherits the redesigned elements seen across the rest of the updated Cayenne lineup but incorporates distinct touches for a subtle sporty
