New Porsche Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3

Stuttgart. Introducing an exclusive series of models to be produced only in a limited edition,
Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is expanding its successful range of SUVs: Production
of the Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3 with its exclusive features will be limited to
just one thousand numbered units.
With this new model, the Cayenne is continuing the innovative design line already initiated
successfully with the Cayman S Porsche Design Edition 1 and the Boxster S Porsche Design
Edition 2. The clear handwriting of the Porsche Design Studio based in Zell am See, Austria,
one of the world leaders in industrial and product design, comes out clearly from the start in
the choice of the Cayenne’s paintwork colour, Lava Grey Metallic emphasising the sporting
and purist look of the car, design stripes at the side and on the engine compartment lid
highlighting the exclusive origin of this very special Cayenne. The 21-inch SportPlus wheels
featured as standard are also finished in this special exterior colour.
The elegant look of this new model is rounded off by bi-xenon headlights featured as
standard as well as dark privacy glazing to the rear of the B-pillar and the “Cayenne GTS“
model designation in black with a red “S” at the rear. An extended roof spoiler with its double
wing profile fixed in position is available at no extra cost.
Exclusive black leather upholstery with red contrasting seams on the instrument panel and
doorsills further enhances the appealing looks of the 405-hp Cayenne GTS Porsche Design
Edition 3. The padded three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, in turn, raises the car’s
unique sporting character to an even higher level.

Electrically adjustable sports seats with a comfort memory package and high-rising side
supports offer the driver and front passenger optimum seating comfort and very good support
at the sides. The front headrests proudly boast an embossed Porsche logo, the centre seat
sections front and rear are finished in slip-proof alcantara. The same material gives parts of
the centre console and door linings as well as the inner sections of the door handles and the
complete roof lining a discreet but sophisticated touch of class and elegance, while carbon
trim bars bear clear and convincing reference to motorsport. The Porsche Design Edition 3
model designation, finally, stands out clearly on the rev counter, the front door entry trim and
the placard in the glove compartment with the serial number of the vehicle embossed on the
surface.
The unique experience in sound so typical of a Porsche comes, first, at the touch of a button
from the sports exhaust system featured as standard and, second, from the Bose 5.1
Surround Sound System with no less than 14 loudspeakers and overall output of 410 W.
Not only this kind of sound, but also the outstanding performance of this special model with
its 4.8-litre 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) V8 arouses particular emotions. On the road, this means
acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h with six-speed Tiptronic S featured as standard in
the Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3 in just 6.5 seconds, as well as top speed of 251
km/h or 156 mph.
By tradition, every Porsche Design Edition comes as standard with unique Porsche Design
accessories. The Porsche Design Chronograph exclusively matching each model, for
example, stands for particular class and style. In the case of the Porsche Design Edition 3,
the Porsche Design Studio has created a Type P’6612 automatic chronograph featuring a
light titanium casing measuring 42 millimetres in diameter and further enhanced by a metal
strap with DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating. This special coating carried over from racing
engines gives the titanium body of the watch its characteristic colour, while the exclusive face
of the chronograph takes up striking design features from the interior of the Cayenne.
Another perfect match for this very special vehicle is the four-piece luggage set bearing the
Porsche Design Edition 3 label and made up of three trolley cases varying in size as well asa functional briefcase. With the exception of the largest trolley case – offering a capacity of
62 litres – all items may be used on aircraft as carry-on travel baggage.
Pricing and availability for New Zealand are still to be confirmed.
