ATLANTA, SEPTEMBER 7, 2007 - Porsche underlines the real sporty edge of its successful Cayenne series with the addition of a new model to be unveiled at the Frankfurt International Auto Show next week and going on sale in 2008: the Cayenne GTS boasts a specially developed chassis with permanent all-wheel drive, a V8 engine that offers a sizeable increase in horsepower and for the first time in North America will be available with a six-speed manual transmission.
With its lowered body, the new Cayenne GTS reveals a distinctive front and rear look combined with striking wheel-arch extensions that provide plenty of space for the standard 21-inch alloy rims with 295/35 R21 tires. Redesigned front and rear seats reflect the sportier personality of the new model. Two new paint finishes will be introduced with the Cayenne GTS: Nordic Gold Metallic and GTS Red.
In the United States and Canada the Cayenne GTS will come with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), an electronically controlled damping system and complete with air suspension as standard.
The 2009 Cayenne GTS is scheduled to make its North American debut in March of 2008 at a U.S. price of $69,300.
You can't get a Six Speed manual Touareg in any shape or form!
to porsche for offering a manual!

After Being Presented With GT-R, Toretto Agrees Spilner Has Provided Ten-Second Car - Viergang Fuchs
The advantage to buying a higher-mileage model is that you can buy the car in two payments -- the first is for the initial purchase and the second is for your mechanic's retirement fund. -PassSedanGLX
I just got an email from my dealer. I need to find out what the towing capacity is of the six-speed; this might be the answer for the 2008 race season.
He stood the furious Foe, the timid Friend/The damning Critic, half approving Wit/ The Coxcomb hit, or fearing to be hit;/Laugh’d at the Loss of Friends he never had,/The dull, the proud, the wicked, and the mad.
i think any car would look good in front of that background
Look twice, save a life. Motorcycles are everywhere.
If you think the Subaru Impreza hatch is ugly in pictures, see it in real life. I thought it was disgusting, then I sat in one and played with the bells and whistles. Loved it.

It will likely be 7700 lbs, the same as all of the Cayennes.
Equip 'em about the same, and there's forty grand of difference between the two.
While the many zillionaires who frequent the Car Lounge will only be comparing the Cayenne GTS with a locomotive, which they could also afford, ol' Viergang's gotta think of the paymentz.

from what I could figure out on the Porsche configurator it looks like you can get a normal V8 with the Six Speed not just this special edition.
rooooool:
Nope, just the Cayenne V6 is available with a manual at the moment. I know you can check off Tiptronic S in the options list for a Cayenne S, but it's part of the standard features anyway.

One of these days I'm going to break my computer screen punching you Corbic.
There you have it folks: You can make a vehicle so ugly it would make the guys at Ssangyong giggle but all will be forgiven if it has three pedals.Cripes.
You should try driving one. They suffer from the unpleasant sense of inertia found in pretty much every modern AWD vehicle, but they're very nice cars.
I drive a Cayenne S and Audi Q7 4.2 back-to-back every so often; I've also had plenty of loaner-car time in both V6 and V8s Toe-rags. The Cayenne is in a different dynamic league from its platform mates.

No, NO! Bad Monkey! Back the MKIV Lounge! Very bad Monkey!

You know, since you always seem to see ridiculous likenesses in every new vehicle, it makes me wonder how you've made it through life thus far without mistaking a jug of bleach for your latte.
