New Porsche Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3

Introducing an exclusive series of models to be produced only in a limited edition, Porsche AG is expanding its successful range of SUVs: Production of the Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3 with its exclusive features will be limited to just one thousand numbered units.

With this new model, the Cayenne is continuing the innovative design line already initiated successfully with the Cayman S Porsche Design Edition 1 and the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2.

The new Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3 will come in a unique Lava Grey Metallic paintwork, with design stripes on the sides and front bonnet. The enormous 21-inch SportPlus wheels are also standard and finished in the same special colour.

The elegant look of this new model is rounded off by bi-xenon headlights featured as standard as well as dark privacy glazing to the rear of the B-pillar and the "Cayenne GTS" model designation in black with a red "S" at the rear. An extended roof spoiler with its double wing profile fixed in position is available at no extra cost.

Exclusive black leather upholstery with red contrasting seams on the instrument panel and doorsills further enhances the appealing looks of the 405 hp Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3

The unique experience in sound comes, first, at the touch of a button from the sports exhaust system featured as standard and, second, from the Bose 5.1 Surround Sound System with no less than 14 loudspeakers and overall output of 410 W.

Not only this kind of sound, but also the outstanding performance of this special model with its 4.8-litre 500 Nm V8 arouses particular emotions. On the road, means acceleration from standstill to 100 km/h with the six-speed Tiptronic S featured as standard in the Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3 takes just 6.5 seconds, and to a top speed of 251 km/h.

Lifestyle to match

By tradition, every Porsche Design Edition comes as standard with unique Porsche Design accessories.

In the case of the Porsche Design Edition 3, the Porsche Design Studio has created a Type P'6612 automatic chronograph featuring a light titanium casing measuring 42 millimetres in diameter and further enhanced by a metal strap with DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating. This special coating carried over from racing engines gives the titanium body of the watch its characteristic colour, while the exclusive face of the chronograph takes up striking design features from the interior of the Cayenne.

Another perfect match for this very special vehicle is the four-piece luggage set bearing the Porsche Design Edition 3 label and made up of three trolley cases varying in size as well as a functional briefcase. With the exception of the largest trolley case - offering a capacity of 62 litres - all items may be used on aircraft as carry-on travel baggage.

The market launch of the Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3 in Germany starts at the end of May.

The base price in the Euro area including the chronograph and the complete set of cases is Euro 79,100 (about S$161,700), the retail price in Germany including 19 percent value-added tax and national specifications is Euro 94,344 (about S$192,900).
