Porsche India has announced the opening of bookings of 2018 Cayenne SUV across all Porsche Centres in India. This is the third generation of the car maker’s flagship SUV. The new model is expected to hit showrooms next month.
The new Cayenne Turbo is powered by a 4.0 litre twin turbo V8 petrol engine that puts out 550 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque. These figures are 30 horses and 20 Nm more than the older model. Porsche claims a 0 to 100 kph time of 4.1 seconds (3.9 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono Package) and a top speed of 286 kph. The engine is mated to a new eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic gearbox. and features active all-wheel drive Porsche Traction Management . The new model also gets the three-chamber air suspension with the active shock-absorber system (PASM). The Turbo gets Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB), which are standard while you can also get Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) as an option.
On the exterior, the new Cayenne Turbo features a re worked front end with LED headlights from the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS). There are 21 inch alloy wheels with a staggered tyre set up, with 85/40 at the front and 315/35 at the rear. It is the first SUV to have an adaptive roof spoiler as a component of its active aerodynamics. Depending on the position of the spoiler, this optimises efficiency, increases downforce on the rear axle and, in the airbrake position, shortens the braking distance needed from higher speeds. As a result, at full braking from 250 km/h, the Turbo comes to a stop up to two metres earlier. Twin exhaust complete the rear end.
The interior is all new and comes with a high-resolution display and touchscreen of the Porsche Advanced Cockpit. Sports seats seats with 18 way electric adjust and integrated head rests are standard. You also get a 710 Bose Surround System fitted as standard equipment.
