Porsche Cayenne GTS (2021) V8, 453 hp – Sporty SUV Coupe

Porsche relaunches the popular Cayenne GTS, now available for both standard and coupe models. The new Cayenne GTS returns to a V-8, a twin-turbocharged unit that cranks out a lofty 453 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. The sprint from zero to 60 mph takes a claimed 4.2 seconds if the Sport Chrono package is fitted, and top speed rises to 168 mph. With this new engine, the Cayenne GTS comes closer to the range-topping Cayenne Turbo than ever. In fact, for the first time both models are powered by essentially the same engine, even though the GTS still keeps a respectful 88-horsepower gap to the Turbo. This power difference, however, is mostly felt at velocities well into the triple digits; it matters less at lower speeds, and drivers still get the wonderful growl of the impressive V-8. The only transmission available is an eight-speed automatic. Fuel consumption is less impressive and we expect it to be more in line with the Cayenne Turbo, not with the lesser model, the 434-horsepower
