The new Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT 2022.

The new Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT 2022. This Cayenne has already become famous, becoming the fastest crossover on the Nurburgring: in mid-June, factory pilot Lars Kern completed the lap in 7 minutes and 38.925 seconds, beating the previous record holder by 3.3 seconds.

Now the most extreme version in the family is presented officially and with all the details.

The car is called the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, it is offered only with a coupe-like body, and there are really many differences from the original Turbo version.

Recall that the Cayenne already has modifications Turbo and Turbo S E-Hybrid, they have the same V8 4.0 biturbo engine with 550 hp, but the hybrid is helped by an electric motor, thanks to which the peak output of the power plant reaches 680 hp.

The new version of Turbo GT is devoid of a hybrid makeweight (and this allowed to save about 330 kg of weight!), While the gasoline «eight» is seriously modified.

Installed new crankshaft, pistons, connecting rods and timing chains with related parts. Improved turbochargers, direct injection system, intake and intercooler.

As a result, the output has increased from 550 hp. and 770 Nm to 640 hp. and 850 Nm.

The eight-speed «automatic» is reinforced, and the hand-out box has additional liquid cooling. And that’s not to mention the other settings for the entire transmission.

The Cayenne Turbo GT has all the technical options that are offered for an extra charge for other versions.

This is an adaptive PASM suspension with PDCC active anti-roll bars, an all-steering chassis, an electronically controlled PTV rear differential and the most powerful PCCB carbon-ceramic brakes.

Compared to the Turbo version, the air suspension stiffness is increased by 15%, and the ground clearance in the standard position is reduced by 17 mm.

There are also changes in the aerodynamic body kit.

The Turbo GT version has an original lower front bumper strip, additional side stabilizers have appeared on the wing above the rear window, and the height of the spoiler tail on the retractable wing has been increased by 25 mm (it is stated that this feature alone allowed to increase the downforce by 40 kg).

The roof is made of carbon fiber, and glass cannot be ordered.

The extreme Cayenne has a strictly four-seater interior with leather and suede seat upholstery, and a steering wheel with a characteristic zero mark.

The new version turned out to be the fastest in the family. Acceleration to 100 km / h takes just 3.3 seconds versus 3.8 seconds for the heavy hybrid and 3.9 seconds for the Turbo.

Even the Lamborghini Urus (3.6 seconds) and the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk (3.7 seconds) are ashamed.

Although in terms of maximum speed, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT does not yet hold a record among crossovers: 300 km / h versus 306 km / h for Bentley Bentayga Speed, 305 km / h for Urus and 302 km / h for Maserati Levante Trofeo.

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT will appear on the European market in September, and it will be the most expensive option in the family: the starting price is 196 thousand euros versus 180 thousand for the Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe version.

You can also order a new top version in Russia, although the price has not yet been announced.

By the way, with the Turbo GT modification, Porsche is completing the formation of the family. Now you need to wait for the planned restyling of the model.
