Porsche launches special edition for the Cayenne

The Platinum Editions offer many of the most-requested options as standard. Externally, the special status of these models is demonstrated by the exterior detail accents in Platinum Silver Metallic, with an exclusive two-tone standard interior in Black Luxor Beige.

The Platinum Edition models offer enhanced standard equipment, including the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, the Convenience Package and Bose Audio Package which includes 14 loudspeakers with a total output power of 585 watts.

The Convenience Package includes the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system that features a seven-inch touchscreen navigation, Bi-Xenon headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), heated front seats and Auto Dimming Mirrors, among others.

Accents painted in Platinum Silver Metallic include the centre and side air intake grills, the side window trim, the rear lip spoiler and the lower tailgate trim.

The standard colours include monotone paint finishes in Black and White, while Meteor Grey Metallic, Basalt Black Metallic and Mahogany Metallic are available as additional extras. Available exclusively for this Cayenne edition is the Carrara White Metallic paint finish.

The Black Luxor Beige two-tone interior combination is also reserved for these special edition models. Partial leather interior is standard, while a full leather interior is available as an option. The SportDesign steering wheel with paddle shifters, embossed headrests and floor mats with Luxor Beige edging plus front door entry guards with the 'Platinum Edition' script put the finishing touches on the interior.

Pulling performance comes from a 3.6-litre V6 engine that delivers 300bhp and 399Nm of torque and sprints to 100km/h in 7.4 seconds, while the Cayenne Diesel is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 turbo with 240bhp and reaches the century mark in 7.2 seconds.
