PORSCHECayenne Turbo S (958) 2015 - 2017

　　The Turbo S version was the sportiest version for the second generation of the Porsche Cayenne and, along with the rest of the stable, it received a facelift for the 2015 model year.

　　When it was introduced in 2006, the Cayenne Turbo S offered 520 hp and it was built to tackle the Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG. It was offered with an off-road package as well, an option that couldn't find its way on the three-star badge contender. Fast forward in 2015 and the Cayenne Turbo S received the last upgrade before the change.

　　The exterior of the 2015 Cayenne Turbo S was enhanced with a sharper design and clear lines. The front fenders, the grille, and the headlights were entirely new, with LED for daytime running lights and, for the Turbo version, full-LED. The grille was still divided into three main areas, with the biggest one kept for the engine. The underbody aluminum shield was replaced by a black plastic one. In the back, the roof-spoiler became a standard fit for the entire range.

　　Inside, the connection with the 911 range was more obvious due to the five-dials instrument cluster and the centrally-mounted tachometer. The new, tall and slim, air-vents were inspired by the Panamera sedan, but on the center console, the buttons from the PTM system were an updated version of those found in the first generation Cayenne.

　　Under the hood, the revised engine offered 20 hp more than its predecessor. It was the same twin-turbo 4.8-liter V8 unit and it was paired to an 8-speed Tiptronic (automatic) transmission, with manual override to select gears. Like the Turbo version, it was offered with a standard air-suspension but, to ensure a better performance package, it received a standard Porsche Composite Ceramic Brakes system with 420 mm (16.5”) front rotors.
