The Porsche Cayenne is a series of automobiles manufactured by Porsche since 2002. It is a luxury crossover SUV, and has been described as both a full-sized and a mid-sized vehicle.

So Porsche discontinued the GTS with the cayenne facelift. I thought it was a popular model for them.
And the base Cayenne and the Turbo S. I'm sure these models will be added at a later date.

I'm sure we'll see a Turbo S model. Sadly, I think naturally aspirated V8 GTS is gone for now.

Porsche Exclusive Applies Cool Meteor Grey Paint to Cayenne S E-Hybrid
As the newest model in the facelifted Cayenne lineup, the S E-Hybrid couldn’t go unnoticed at Porsche Exclusive, which has applied several styling updates to the plug-in hybrid.
For the exterior, Porsche Exclusive created a Meteor Grey metallic paint, which I reckon suits the SUV really well. The Cayenne S E-Hybrid also features a SportDesign package with sideskirts, 21-inch wheels painted in high-gloss black and housed under wheel arch extensions and sports tailpipes in black.
The special Cayenne also gets darkened Bi-Xenon headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) and smoked LED taillights with adaptive brake lights.
The cabin features an interior package with decorative stitching in a contrasting color, painted PCM surround and air vent slats, Tiptronic S gear selector in aluminum and center console armrest front with model logo. Other styling upgrades include illuminated door sill guards in carbon, personalized floor mats with leather edging and extended trim package with grab handles in carbon.
Nothing changes under the hood though, with the Cayenne S E-Hybrid’ powertrain consisting of a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 petrol engine and a 94hp (95PS) electric motor. With a combined output of 410hp (416PS) at 5,500 rpm and 435 lb-ft (589 Nm) of peak torque from 1,250 to 4,000 rpm, the plug-in hybrid SUV accelerates from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 5.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 243km/h (151mph). In all-electric mode, top speed is 126km/h (78 mph).

2015 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
"Turbo" used to strictly mean "turbo." Now it also means "more cylinders."
How far can one wander from Porsche’s vaunted 930 yet still wear the capital-t “Turbo” badge? The 2015 Cayenne Turbo is likely the answer. Cut from the same midcycle-refresh cloth as the six-pot Cayenne S, the Turbo adds a pair of cylinders to that model’s equation. Before this year, the Turbo was the only path to a pair of escargot, but the S has now downsized from a naturally aspirated V-8 to a slightly uprated version of the Macan Turbo’s twin-turbocharged V-6 engine. (Confusingly, the Macan S also features a twin-turbo V-6.)
So at this point, Porsche may as well badge its Turbo-branded utes as “Very Turbo.” Echt Turbo? You see, the Cayenne Turbo’s double-puffed V-8 offers up 520 horsepower. If you’re keeping track, that’s just about double the output of this original 911 Turbo. An ’86 930 tipped our scales at 3040 pounds. The modern SUV adds literally a ton of additional mass, weighing in at an estimated 5200 pounds.
Of course, the 930 was often derided/admired as a widow-maker, with tricky understeer-into-oversteer characteristics exacerbated by early engine-management technology (read: turbo lag). The Cayenne suffers from no such issues. The only eventful thing about wheeling the top-spec Porsche ute is the quickness with which the needle sweeps the speedo’s face.
The Cayenne Turbo’s driver-focused cockpit—which is immediately familiar to anybody who’s driven a recent 911, Panamera, or Boxster—may well deliver the most unique experience in the Porsche line. Unique because it’s a little more like vehicles not built by Porsche. You can’t wholly mask bulk, and the 2.5-ton Turbo certainly has its share. You can, however, make bulk do pretty astonishing things these days. Better living through chemistry and all that.
Although it’s not as visceral an accelerative experience as the ripping (and less expensive) Range Rover Sport Supercharged—even as the Porsche is likely a tick quicker—the Turbo displays a composed serenity in situations where aBMW X5 M would feel brittle and stiff. It’ll waft up to speed like a Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, stick its nose into a hairpin, and track through in a way that nothing this top-heavy really has a right to.
While the Panamera Turbo gets Porsche’s excellent PDK dual-clutch transmission, the Cayenne that shares its motor makes due with an eight-speed slushbox with a tendency to hammer home shifts punctuated by a chassis-juddering thwunk. It’s completely out of character with the rest of the strop-honed refinement displayed by the vehicle, and especially jarring when it happens midcorner. The unsettledness is a nano-momentary thing, and the underpinnings are certainly capable of keeping the machine on course, but the behavior is slightly unnerving at speed. The trans, though, is the sole flaw in an otherwise wholly bulletproof suit of mountain-warfare armor.
Other entries in the super-SUV class demand your faith via mathematics. The Cayenne Turbo earns it by putting you immediately at ease on surfaces solid, slippery, and/or frangible. That top-of-the-pile confidence comes with a price, though—in this case at least $114,595.

Debuts in Los Angeles
Porsche has unveiled the Cayenne GTS, ahead of its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Described as an especially "sporty model," the Cayenne GTS features a Sport Design package that includes extended wheel arches and revised side skirts. The car also has tinted lighting units, a 20-24mm reduced ride height and 20-inch alloy wheels. Other highlights include a sports exhaust system, high-performance brakes, additional body-color accents and the a Porsche Active Suspension Management system.
Interior changes are relatively limited but there's leather and Alcantara sports seats as well as GTS-branded headrests.
Power is provided by a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 440 PS (323 kW) and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 20 PS (14 kW) and 85 Nm (62 lb-ft). Thanks to the extra oomph the crossover accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds - or 5.1 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package - before hitting a top speed of 262 km/h (162 mph).
Besides the GTS, Porsche will introduce the entry-level Cayenne. It features a 3.6-liter V6 engine with 300 PS (220 kW). It is connected to a new eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission which enables the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 7.7 seconds before topping out at 230 km/h (143 mph). It also has an engine start/stop system which reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 0.7 l/100 km and 21 g/km, respectively.
Both models will go on sale in Germany in February and pricing starts at €65,427 for the Cayenne and €98,152 for the Cayenne GTS.

Here goes another video of the gts. In this one, you can hear more of the engine sound and I must say, that for a bi-turbo v6, it sounds surprisingly good. If they could make the 991.2's engine sound like this, I don't really think anyone would complain.
