The 2022 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT has been revealed.
The first Porsche SUV to wear the hallowed GT badge – though it’s not certain this model has been developed by the same Motorsport team responsible for GT2, GT3 and GT4 road cars – the Cayenne Turbo GT is the hottest iteration of the Cayenne Coupe yet, with more power, sharper handling and extra downforce.
Power comes from a reworked version of the Turbo’s
4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, which employs strengthened internals and changes to the turbos, injectors, intercooler, and more to develop
The engine has the same basic dimensions as the Cayenne Turbo, a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, but it has a new crankshaft, pistons, connecting rods, timing chain and torsional dampers. The eight-speed automatic will offer quicker shifts, says Porsche, while the Porsche Traction Management system has been fitted with a water-cooled transfer case, which further increases the thermal capacity of the drivetrain under high loads. A titanium sport exhaust comes standard saving 40 pounds, but the tailpipes still exit from the center.
A new color called Arctic Gray debuts on the Turbo GT. It also gets a specific front fascia with a new front lip and larger side air intakes. The roof is carbon fiber, lowering the center of gravity while the wheel style is called Neodyme. The upper rear wing features side plates in carbon fiber along with an adaptive rear spoiler that features a two-inch Gurney flap. The rear diffuser cover is also made of carbon.
