Cayenne [Official] Porsche Cayenne (Third gen 2018-)

[Fact]

I just heard a rumor on the new GTS engine:

- all new 4L V8 naturally aspirated (not based on Turbo engine)
- 350 kw+
- will be used in other models

I hope it’s true...

I highly doubt this is true. The GTS will have a massaged version of the TT V6..

The GTS will have a a massaged version of the TT V6. No way they will go NA..

That's what I thought but the person I spoke to was sure about the NA engine. Let's wait and see.

Panamera should be out first though, bothering me that it’s not available but still I think I made the best engine choice for my needs.

A NA engine in a performance heavy SUV is ridiculous.

First two Cayenne GTS' were huge hits. Lots of Porsche "purists" had that and the Panamera GTS' as daily drivers, so I'm not suprised at all if they are indeed developing a new NA engine. However, the easy route would be a sporty version of the TTV6.

A colleague of mine has last-gen pre-fl Panamera GTS white/Carmine interior as his daily and he's not trading until the new GTS comes out with NA. He loves it that much.

Agree. Didn't put down crazy numbers, but it's the best handling and feeling sports saloon I've ever been in.

I never drove the last-gen GTS Cayenne or Panny, just the Turbo models. Sounds like I've been missing out!

And that car was much slower than the turbo. If Porsche wants to make a proper "really" sporty SUV they should work on the turbo making it lighter and faster.

Highly recommended if you get a chance. Turbo feels stale in comparison, plus the PDK and sound is amazing.

Fast =/= driver enjoyment, otherwise the GTS wouldn't exist in the Porsche lineup

That is true, my neighbor has the Cayenne GTS, and Panamera GTS in his garage along with his GT3 RS.

Yeah but it's a very niche in the linup..still think NA engines better left for GT3/R line and turbo for big and heavy models.

This reminds me of the pre FL W212 E63 with the M256 NA 6.2 V8 vs the FL with the TT 5.5 V8,people loved the drama of the 6.2 but the TT 5.5 pulled much harder.

One of my neighbours in the beach has a black SVR and got to say not only does it look amazing but it certainly sounds amazing.

What a car.

 

[klier]

^^ It has a fantastic sound indeed. One of the best sounds I've ever heard coming from an SUV.

No it isn't. I have had wonderful times in the first gen NA V8 Cayenne GTS.

They've been out for a bit- I saw a couple in Atlanta over the holidays. Maybe the Turbo models are just trickling out..
