Car and Driver stated, "More horsepower and less weight add up to a winning combo in the Cayenne S," and we couldn't agree more. With the notable weight reduction and the striking new exterior and interior design, Porsche managed to extract an additional 15 hp from the Cayenne S's naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V-8. The introduction of a new transmission with two additional forward ratios (now an 8-speed) has significantly enhanced the driving experience. The Cayenne S accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 14.1 seconds at 101 mph.
Porsche maintained the same model lineup for the second-generation Cayenne, with the base Cayenne and Cayenne S leading sales, alongside the premium Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S variants. The Cayenne GTS returned, offering the ideal blend of sportiness and enjoyment. However, the standout feature of this new generation was the world debut of the Cayenne S Hybrid, marking the introduction of the first plug-in hybrid in the premium SUV segment.
