If the standard Cayenne has a fairly slim line altogether banal, the GTS features him a wild look that makes it stand out.
We jump to the figure, its gaping grille and huge air intakes, here fully painted black, are included in the all-powerful Turbo version of 500 hp. However, it differs from other members of the family SUV Porsche exterior finishes its "black" and, especially, by its SportDesign body kit (side skirts, fenders flares and double blade rear spoiler painted in body color) visible but not too flashy. For fans of the tuningmania this Cayenne tracksuit also features two colors: green "firecracker" Peridot, and "our" Carmine red for a small ticket ... � 2,392. Ouch!

Side "pilot", we immediately appreciated the excellent ergonomics offered by enveloping sports seats and instrumentation typical five dials. If the image of some sections of the Historic Rout 66 we borrowed some sobriety dominates the dashboard, one can only rail against the clutter of buttons that adorn the center console and force off the road look. Nevertheless, the atmosphere cockpit unusual - certainly raised - we invite almost taste the road crime and cross "75 miles per hour" (120 km / h) allowed on this "highway" California ... However, no Let us not forget that the GTS, juggernaut more than 2 tons empty, is not a radical 911, and must also address the status of family responsibilities. Apparently, this is not a concern for him, the rear seat passengers are at ease. Well designed and equipped with sliding seat, the seat is comfortable and has files that can tilt to the environment. This is royal!

In addition, the luggage did not make the cost of the physical preparation, it can accommodate our personal possessions and all our stuff campers globetrotters rather consistent. Of course, the unfathomable options catalog offers tailor-made. More shabby for an SUV already charged more than � 90,000, even indispensable parking sensors front / rear or the navigation system are extra. In short, "your" GTS can raise the addition of 20,000 to 30,000 � without forcing. If the Cayenne GTS uses the 4.8 V8 in the Cayenne S, Porsche has taken care to improve for the occasion. Cycle engine load and programming electronic computer were reviewed to optimize the operation of the V8 and grant him more temperament. Thus, the eight-cylinder naturally aspirated going from 400 to 420 hp and torque gains in (515 Nm instead of 500, still at 3500 rev / min). Wraaooohh! At startup, the V8 snorts emitting an angry growl, which speaks volumes about his claims. But the ear's pleasure is short-lived as leads "cool", the Cayenne GTS is surprisingly unobtrusive.

Fortunately, there is a radical solution to prevent the loss of voice and fulfill his eardrums decibels activate through one of the many buttons on the center console, the Sport mode. A magic touch, comes standard-which releases more angry at the exhaust sound and diffuse, without restraint, a rocky sound into the cabin through ducts in the amount of windshield. Congratulations to the acoustics of Zuffenhausen, who were able to bring the sports connotation that Cayenne had to offer. By comparison, 420 hp, very docile and well relayed by the Tiptronic automatic transmission 8 reports-as reactive behavior that sustained soft when conducted in good family-provide the correct times, without more, despite a bridge shorter expected to improve the dynamism of this cheeky 4x4. In fact, it is more by the quality of its chassis and running gear that impresses Cayenne GTS. The well-calibrated steering is precise, the front, incisive, general equilibrium, amazing, and motor skills, infallible for a machine of this ilk.

Commend the excellent work of the suspension to steel springs and damping control (PASM) offers three modes (Comfort, Normal, Sport), lowered by 24 mm. It delivers a certain firmness, without becoming uncomfortable crossing the railway degraded Union Pacific Road, for example. Moreover, it is possible to add to the arsenal of security already embedded active anti-roll bars PDCC system and rear differential torque vectoring PTV Plus to optimize the agility and efficiency of GTS, if ever a few rounds of "speedway" titillaient the minds of some dads pilot. And if you still have a little budget, rather than to go play at the Bellagio casino, we strongly advise you acquire very durable PCCB ceramic brakes, which net decelerating our test model. Perfect! Anyway, armed with the way he should nothing happen to the edge of the sportier Cayenne. Aside from a big hole in your bank account.
