The Cayenne – which saw record sales and a 35 percent increase across the region in 2011 – now comes in an athletic, faster GTS variant, with all the space, comfort and clear layout of an SUV – coupled with the driving fun, dynamics and agility of a sports car. George Wills, Managing Director of Porsche Middle East and Africa FZE, said: “The new Cayenne GTS is not simply a vehicle positioned between the Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo, but represents a model with its own distinctive character developed from tip to toe for emotionally-charged sportiness. It is a vehicle set to grab the hearts and minds of anyone passionate about driving.” “Our SUV range in general has struck a chord with the Middle East market. We have seen the Cayenne in all its variants enjoy enormous popularity in the last few years. Last year, the Cayenne accounted for nearly two-thirds of Porsche's regional sales. Judging by the high level of interest in the GTS we are already witnessing that this new model will bolster our success.” With a basic retail price of SR336,200 in the Kingdom, the Cayenne GTS's power unit is the most powerful naturally aspirated engine in the Cayenne model line, with uncompromising power: it has a 4.8-litre V8 engine which offers up 420 horsepower. It will rocket you from 0 – 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds and offers a top speed of 261 km/h. – SG
