Porsche has unveiled a new £144,000, range-topping model for its large SUV line-up called the Cayenne Turbo GT. Available only in four-seat Cayenne Coupe form, the new Turbo GT variant hits back at high-performance rivals such as the Lamborghini Urus thanks to a tuned version of Porsche’s 4.0-litre V8 which now produces 631bhp and 850Nm of torque - increases of 89bhp and 50Nm respectively over what was the most potent ICE version in the line-up, the Cayenne Turbo.
Using the upgraded engine combined with a recalibrated eight-speed automatic gearbox that now shifts quicker, four-wheel drive and launch control, the Turbo GT sprints from 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds and will hit a top speed of 186mph.
