Porsche debuts 420-HP 2013 Cayenne GTS



The second coming is finally here, and it goes by the title of the 2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS. Porsche has put 20 more horses under the hood to bring matters to 420 horsepower, and to get more out of them it has lowered the chassis a further 20 mm and installed a lower final-drive ratio. The one unkind note: whereas the first GTS was available with a six-speed manual, this one is fitted exclusively with Porsche's eight-speed Tiptronic S paddleshift gearbox.

In the search for improved fuel economy, stop-start is standard, and when things get underway, the extra go-fast means a 5.4-second roar from zero to 60 mph. Along with unique side skirts and wheel arches, features only on the GTS include new Peridot Metallic (as shown) and Carmine Red paint, unique 20-inch wheels and eight-way GTS seats inside. There's an available Sport Chrono package to keep tabs on your 162-mph SUV, but that won't be included in the $82,050 base price (which includes $975 in delivery fees).

That looks awsome, not sure I would take it in green or red though but still looks good nonetheless.

One of my bucket list items is to own a Cayenne GTS MANUAL. I really am sad its not even an option on this Cayenne GTS and the Panamara GTS is PDK only as well (and AWD only).

Going for sales= death to manuals

I love those bright colors.

I know some people dont like the styling but I think its easily the best looking SUV on the road. I saw a blue one on stock 21" wheels and I was starring at the car like it was an exotic. It just looked perfect to me
