Porsche is now taking orders for the third generation of the Cayenne Turbo, which will arrive in Indian showrooms in June 2018. With an increased output of 550 hp, the brand’s completely redeveloped SUV also boasts intelligent lightweight construction, a new engine, and smart assistance systems, the company said.

A four-litre V8 biturbo engine propels the Turbo to 100 kmph from standstill in just 4.1 seconds, surpassing even the previous Cayenne Turbo S. The Cayenne Turbo touches a top speed of 286 kmph.

The new Cayenne Turbo 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, the company claimed.

Five pre-programmed drive and chassis modes are available for off-roading, depending on the terrain.

A unique front end with LED headlights, standard 21-inch Turbo wheels in widened wheel arches with painted trims, and twin tailpipes specific to the Turbo characterise the top-of-the-range model. Inside, virtually all the vehicle functions of the fully-networked SUV can be displayed and operated using the high-resolution display and touchscreen of the Porsche Advanced Cockpit.

Among them, for example, is the Bose surround sound system with 710 watts, fitted as standard. Inside, 18-way sport seats, integrated headrests and the multi-function sports steering wheel in an exclusive Turbo design reflect the model’s sports car roots.
