-_-Moltres-_- Posted June 21, 2024 Posted June 21, 2024 Historically, about 10 percent of Porsche Cayenne buyers go for the GTS. The model boasts a slightly younger customer—50 years old, versus 52 for the rest of the Cayenne lineup—and skews male by three to one. In other words, the GTS is preferred by dads who want to go fast. And with 493 horsepower and a 4.2-second zero-to-60 time, the new Cayenne GTS brings a little more speed to the party for 2025. The GTS is nearly the highest trim level in the 2025 Cayenne lineup, topped only by the outrageous 591-hp Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid and Turbo GT. The GTS uses Porsche’s twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8, making 40 more horsepower than the previous-gen GTS, along with 487 pound-feet of torque, an improvement of 30 lb-ft. For 2025, the GTS gets the water-cooled all-wheel-drive transfer case from the ridiculous 650-hp coupe-only Turbo GT, along with unique tuning for the adaptive air dampers, a 10-millimeter-lower ride height, and optional active roll bars.Porsche invited us to sample the new GTS on a three-hour drive through winding two-lane country roads north of the automaker’s US headquarters in Atlanta. Through the area’s rolling hills and up its mountain switchbacks, the freshly-tweaked SUV was utterly unflappable. The GTS gets an extra half-degree of negative camber up front thanks to a few Turbo GT chassis parts, and in the cabin, the GTS features a slightly smaller GT Sport steering wheel. You won’t learn terribly much about what’s going on underneath those 285/45R-21 front tires through the wheel, but the steering feels quick and precise, with a whiff of added steering effort over lower-trim Cayennes. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/723762/2025-porsche-cayenne-gts-first-drive-review/
