911 Targa 4 GTS

For the first time, the 911 combines the idea of GTS with the classic targa concept to mark the 50th anniversary of the 911 Targa. This version is equipped with a 430hp engine and the Sport Chrono Package as standard. The 20-inch wheels in Matte Black with central grip, the bumper Sport design with air inlets in Black and the GTS logo on the doors at the rear and roll-over bar are part of the updates introduced in the 911 Targa 4 GTS. Inside, the Alcantara (in Black) on the steering wheel and seats and brushed aluminum Black in decorative frames give a sporty touch.

The Targa 4 GTS can reach a top speed above 300km/h with the PDK transmission and accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 4.3 seconds. Although it is 30hp more powerful, the 911 Targa 4 GTS has the same combined consumption as the Targa 4S version, from 9.2 to 10l/100km depending on the transmission.

The Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS goes on sale in mid-March 2015.

Cayenne Turbo S

At NAIAS Porsche also introduced the new Cayenne Turbo S, the top version of the sports SUV range. The Turbo S receives an updated version of the V8 4.8 liters biturbo engine that now delivers 570hp and 800nm torque.

Thanks to a chassis for a more dynamic driving, the Cayenne Turbo S laps Nürburgring in 7:59.74 minutes, which represents a record regarding SUV models.

The engine offers more 20hp and 50Nm torque compared to the previous engine. The Cayenne Turbo S accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, 0.4 seconds faster than the previous version. The maximum speed is 284 km/h.

The Cayenne Turbo S has 21-inch wheels in Black series, LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus), full leather interior with Porsche logo on the headrests and applications in carbon. Exterior details include front air intakes painted in gloss Black and exterior mirrors caps, aileron on the roof and wheel arch extensions in body color. The sports exhaust system is available as an option in combination with a sound switch that optimizes the sound of the V8 inside the cabin.

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo S will go on sale in the second quarter of 2015.
