Porsche Reveals 550HP Cayenne Turbo S

If the standard Porsche Cayenne Turbo is not powerful enough to satisfy all its potential buyers, the Stuttgart-based premium automaker has given it a power boost and an additional letter ‘S’.

The 4.8-liter V8 engine gets a power and torque boost, reaching a total of 550 hp and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft), and the Turbo S is able to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, which is two tenths faster than the regular model. Top speed is also increased, by 5 km/h (3 mph), reaching 283 km/h (176 mph).

As we’ve come to expect from Porsche, the economy of their engines, even the larger ones is still extremely good, and this Cayenne Turbo S is no exception, as it manages to return 11.5 l/100km (24.6 UK mpg) on the combined cycle.

If you were wondering what distinguishing features the S has over the regular model, the most noticeable one are the 21-inch rims, which are specific to it. Gloss black accents, rectangular tailpipes and smoked headlights complete the the S’s look.

Inside, buyers are treated to the same superb Porsche quality feel, yet even here they have found room for improvement, like the addition of carbon fiber trim for the dash and interior panels, as well as the two-tone leather upholstery with contrasting stitching.

Pricing-wise, the Turbo S costs some €30,000 more than the regular turbo model, starting at €151,702, yet if you touch the options list, the price will climb alarmingly.
