Default SpeedART Reveals Cayenne Based Titan BTR 550.











If a 500bhp Cayenne Turbo isn't a good starting point for a tuner car, we don't know what is. Adding 50bhp and 96lb/ft of torque (for a total of 612lb/ft) the Titan BTR 550 should live up to it's monstrous name. In addition to the engine mods, the Titan benefits from a sports exhaust that's switchable between loud and not-so-load, air suspension and an aerodynamically efficient carbon fiber body kit. It's also available with 22" wheels up to 11.5" wide. No word on what sort of premium the Titan will carry over a stock $93,700 Cayenne Turbo, expect that info at the Geneva Motor Show.

IMO, the nicest tuned/modded Cayenne is by Techart

Looks good, but goofy at the same time. Park my LS up next to it and see how large that really is.

Can't they focus on the tuning and leave those ugly tack-ons to the F&F crowd?

the transformer look is overdone.
too much excess plastic.

how many more lips can they add to that rear bumper?

how about a double chin?
