Porsche has announced the launch of the Cayenne Turbo GT in India. It is priced at Rs 2.57 crore (ex-showroom).

The Turbo GT is the most powerful version of the Cayenne. It is available in a coupe body style and competes with the Audi RSQ8 and Lamborghini Urus.

The Cayenne Turbo GT is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that produces 632 BHP and 850 Nm. An 8-speed automatic transmission is employed to put the power down to the tarmac. Porsche claims it will do 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and can reach a top speed of 300 km/h.

The Turbo GT comes with a redesigned front end featuring larger air intakes, a new rear bumper with an integrated diffuser and dual exhausts in the centre. In addition to a roof spoiler, the SUV gets a carbon fibre active rear wing as well.

Inside, the Cayenne Turbo GT gets sports seats with Alcantara upholstery and a 3-spoke steering wheel with a 12 o’clock mark in Racing Yellow. In the centre is a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

To create the Turbo GT, Porsche had to make a few changes to the chassis of the Cayenne. It now features a 15% stiffer suspension with revised dampers and anti-roll bars. The SUV comes equipped with a rear-axle steering system and carbon ceramic brakes.
