NEW PORSCHE CAYENNE® GTS DEBUTS AT THE IAA IN FRANKFURT
Cayenne® SUV Gets Sports Car Upgrades
ATLANTA, SEPTEMBER 7, 2007 - Porsche underlines the real sporty edge of its
successful Cayenne series with the addition of a new model to be unveiled at the
Frankfurt International Auto Show next week and going on sale in 2008: the
Cayenne GTS boasts a specially developed chassis with permanent all-wheel drive,
a V8 engine that offers a sizeable increase in horsepower and for the first time
in North America will be available with a six-speed manual transmission.
With its lowered body, the new Cayenne GTS reveals a distinctive front and rear
look combined with striking wheel-arch extensions that provide plenty of space
for the standard 21-inch alloy rims with 295/35 R21 tires. Redesigned front and
rear seats reflect the sportier personality of the new model. Two new paint
finishes will be introduced with the Cayenne GTS: Nordic Gold Metallic and GTS
Red.
In the United States and Canada the Cayenne GTS will come with Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM), an electronically controlled damping system and
complete with air suspension as standard.
The 2009 Cayenne GTS is scheduled to make its North American debut in March of
2008 at a U.S. price of $69,300.
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), based in Atlanta, GA, and its
subsidiary, Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd., are the exclusive importers of Porsche
sports cars and Cayenne sport utility vehicles for the United States and Canada.
A wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Dr. Ing.h.c. F. Porsche AG, PCNA employs
approximately 250 people who provide Porsche vehicles, parts, service, marketing
and training for its 213 U.S. and Canadian dealers. They, in turn, provide
Porsche owners with best-in-class service.
