When it comes to German car brands some names automatically pop into your head when it comes to performance cars. One of these car brands is Porsche. Porsche has consistently delivered amazing cars for the past 90 years.
One of their latest additions is the 2022 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT. This ride promises to feature some of the most impressive performance and physical specs. Based on the images that have been released Porsche has gone all out. This is especially when it comes to making this car as sporty as possible.
The 2022 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT is the latest addition to the long line-up of driver-oriented GT-badged Porsches. It has joined the Porsche 911 GT3 and the 718 Cayman GT4. At face value, the 2022 Cayenne Turbo GT bears all the looks of a plain Turbo.
However, the unique front fascia coupled with the big side vents, the prominent lip mounted on the front, and beautiful black fender arches. All this beauty sits on 22-inch gold wheels.
Other features that make the 2022 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT stand out are a rear wing, gurney flap, and lowered ride height. While all these features add to the Cayenne Turbo GT’s beauty the best feature is without a doubt the powertrain.
Here is a look at the best feature of the 2022 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT.
2022 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Powertrain
Under the hood of this beauty sits a beast. The 2022 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turboV8 engine. This engine is the most powerful V8 engine by Porsche. This twin-turbocharged V8 engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
This powertrain has a maximum power output capacity of 632 horsepower and delivers 627 lb-ft of torque. According to Porsche Lars Kern, Porsche’s test drivers completed a lap on the 12.9-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife course in 7:38:9.
The twin-turbo V8 engine fitted in this car pushes more power than a standard Turbo Coupe. The extra power is 90 horsepower and 59 lb-ft of torque. On a 0 to 60 MPH sprint, the 2022 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT clears a 3.1 second and a top speed of 186 MPH.
To complement the powertrain Porsche fitted this beauty with a titanium sports exhaust system. They also returned the adaptive dampers and the sport suspension to support the lowered ride height. The power from this beast is sent to the all-wheel-drive drivetrain.
Safety During Performance
To ensure that the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT not only performs but does so safely, Porsche added a couple of safety features. For starters, an active anti-roll bar was added to reduce body roll, the variable-ratio steering, and the rear-axle steering. Porsche has made all the necessary stops including fitting the 2022 Cayenne Turbo GT with ceramic composite brakes.
So, when do we get to see this beautiful German beast on the road? The 2022 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT coupe is set to start selling in the United States in early 2022. The starting price is estimated to be $182,150.
