The Porsche Cayenne Turbo arrives in Frankfurt and shows its power in the German city

Porsche is one of the most recognised German brands, and its models bring us all an air of freedom and luxury, offering exceptional and highly valued cars. One of the boldest moves the brand made was to add an SUV to a lineup where sports cars were the norm. Fans of the brand were astonished, but the market proved the brand right and the model was a huge success.

At the Frankfurt Motor Show, a new member of the Cayenne family has been unveiled: the Turbo version, which delivers 550 CV for full enjoyment on the road and off-road terrain. Responsible for this power is a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, which in addition to this considerable output produces a maximum torque of 770 Nm. These figures allow it to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 286 km/h without electronic limiters.

All this power is managed by mechanical solutions that include an air suspension with adaptive dampers (PSM), which can adjust the ride height of the car across eight different modes, depending on the driving mode selected or if adjusted manually. The brakes use steel discs coated with tungsten, and the rear axle is steerable, a first for this model in the range. As a result, vehicle control is improved and its power and capabilities are kept firmly in check.

Aerodynamics are enhanced with the presence of a dynamic roof spoiler, which increases the car’s efficiency and reduces consumption. It also helps braking, gaining a two-metre distance when deployed. Inside, new equipment can be found, with a larger central screen and a 710-watt Bose sound system that delivers a more impactful sound dimension.

Furthermore, a new model of this kind would not be complete without a comprehensive package of driver assistance systems. A car that raises the bar for this luxury SUV and turns an already impressive model into something to consider for
