SPY SHOTS!! Porsche Cayenne GTS RS!!
Porsche recently introduced the most powerful 911 ever, the GT2 RS. Designed for the insane rich lunatic (Porsche thinks there are five hundred such people), it is essentially the twin-turbo rear-wheel-drive GT2 but with less weight, more power and of course more money.
To differentiate the GT2 RS from the dime-a-dozen GT2s, Porsche left pieces of body in unpainted carbon-fiber and installed an even bigger rear wing. Based on the success of the GT2 RS, Porsche is currently planning a Cayenne GTS RS model, also easily identifiable by its unpainted carbon-fiber body parts and black wheels.
The Cayenne GTS RS pictured here is an early prototype based on previous generation model which our spy photographers caught bling-testing at a Los Angeles shopping mall, the RS’ natural habitat.
The carbon-fiber hood and red-string interior door-pulls remove a staggering nine pounds from Cayenne’s 5200 –pound curb weight. Center of gravity is lowered by a sixteenth of an inch, making the Cayenne GTS RS the fastest and best handling road-going Cayenne ever.
Don’t be fooled by the roof-mounted storage bin, it is actually a disguised dynamically-adjustable carbon-fiber wing which supplements the new rear-biased all-wheel-drive system. Further exterior enhancements include a super-lightweight titanium front lip which diverts more air toward the standard nineteen-inch Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) rotors. The lightweight dub-plus-two black magnesium wheels with single central lug-nut are an RS-exclusive.
There is no official word on the engine, but our spies speculate that power from the naturally-aspirated V8 has been raised beyond the 600-horsepower mark. The newly found power comes from dry-sump lubrication, VarioCamPlusTwo, and ECU remapped by a sixteen-year-old prodigy engineer with a jail-broken iPhone. Not excluded is the possibility of hybrid system, similar to the one seen on the 911 GT3 R Hybrid racecar.
Unlike the 911 GT2 RS, the Cayenne GTS RS will come exclusively with Porsche’s Dopeyklingklung transmission. Four driving modes will be available: Sport, Sport Plus, Sport Multiply, and Sport x10^24. Porsche’s PASM, PHC, PTM, SOB, and PDCC with PVT-Plus are all standard features.
The expected price for Cayenne GTS RS is around $190,000. Not included in that price are: CD player ($800), Bluetooth ($900, or part of the $5000 technology package, which requires the $4000 navigational system), High Intensity Discharge Xenon headlights ($3000) and rear window defrost system ($700). Look for GTS RS in the fall of 2011.

This put a smile on my face. The only thing that could have made it more realistic would be if the spies reported that a sheik had already purchased a dozen of them for his teenage son’s fleet of exotic cars.
Is it April fools day already? The sad thing is that we probably arent to far away from this
I first get Cayenne I couldn’t care less about. The second gen (’11) I was really impressed by… it’s still wrong, but I am glad that vehicles such as the BMW M-X5, Grand Cherokee SRT and others exist.
As a kid I always wanted a car that could do it… fast, roomy, good handling, able to go off-road and those are it.
Or perhaps I just wanted a rally car…
