The Cayenne GTS gets a power bump over the Cayenne S plus Porsche's Active Suspension Management.

The new ways to go faster come in the form of a power boost, with 405bhp now available, 20bhp more than in the Cayenne S. With the ride height lowered 24 millimeters and a look that mimics the Cayenne Turbo with similar front and rear fascias, this new Cayenne should be easily recognizeable. But Porsche will give you a helping hand with two new GTS-only colors...GTS Red and Nordic Gold Metallic. Additional improvements come under the skin, with Porsche's Active Suspension Management, an electronically controlled damping system, now available on the GTS. This feature was only previously available on Porsche's other models.

The Cayenne GTS comes standard with a six-speed manual and a shorter drive ratio than the Cayenne S (4.1:1 as opposed to 3.55:1). This will get you to 60mph .5 seconds quicker than the Cayenne S, with the GTS arriving in 6.1 seconds.

In the U.S., the base price of the Cayenne GTS will be $69,300.

Porsche reports strong sales again

In North America, Porsche's sales remain on the fast track in North America. With 2,736 vehicles sold in August 2007, the German marque exceeded the previous-year figure of 2,554 units on its most important market by 7%. In the USA and Canada, the upturn is continuing, a trend which started with the launch of the new Cayenne in March this year. August saw the fourth consecutive month of rising sales figures, with the unit sales for May, June and July each being the highest for the respective month in the history of the company.

The new Cayenne posted a year-on-year increase of 24% to 910 vehicles delivered in North America. The Boxster has also met with a strong response, selling 946 vehicles in the USA and Canada over the same period, with the Cayman and Cayman S accounting for 609 of these. At 880 units in August, the 911 was 11% under the high level of the previous year, but for the 2007 calendar year the model series remains 5% up on the previous year.
