Featured Porsche Models
Porsche Cayenne Turbo
Rapid on and Off-road!
The engine is the heart of every Porsche. It is the origin of its power, presence and sound, character and performance. The new Cayenne Turbo is powered by a 4.8-litre twin-turbo V8, also with direct fuel injection and VarioCam Plus. The twin turbocharger units are in parallel to achieve a rapid, emphatic response. Maximum power output is 368 kW (500 hp) at 6,000 rpm.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Dedicated performance
The new 911 GT3 RS is dedicated entirely to performance. Which is why Porsche never focus on power alone. The result is an integrated and high performance concept that continues the long and glorious tradition of Porsche racing cars for the road. Both 911 GT3 models share the same 3.6-litre flat-six engine. Featuring a high rev limit of 8,400 rpm, and offer 305 kW (415 hp) at 7,600 rpm.
Porsche Cayenne
Off-Road excellence
A Porsche is designed to extremely high standards – in dynamics, agility, safety, comfort and everyday practicality. The Cayenne is no different on any terrain. Simply shift the transfer gearbox into ‘low-range’ mode for off-road use. Porsche design Management systems for Stability and Traction combine to adapt for optimum on and off road performance.
Porsche 911 Turbo
Penultimate Performance
The new 911 Turbo is a prime example of the ongoing evolution of Porsche engineering. The extreme capability of the new 911 Turbo is elegantly enclosed in a highly distinctive exterior. While signalling the unique athleticism of the car, it remains unmistakably 911. For another step up in all-round performance, there’s the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo.
Porsche Cayman
Ready to perform
A single glance is all it takes to recognise any Porsche. Look closer and you will find a sporting character unique to the Cayman and the Cayman S. Sinuous, muscular, from front to rear, they are poised and ready to perform. Every input is eagerly met with a precise and emphatic response. Energy and potential are clearly expressed in the dynamic interplay of complex forms.
Porsche Boxter S
Optimum driver control
To achieve the best, you have to be at your best – mentally and physically, combined. Only then do you have what it takes to surpass yourself once more. This inherent composure was an essential prerequisite on both Porsche Boxster models. Not only in terms of the character of each car, but also for you at the wheel. To provide that balance, an interior has been developed that is totally focussed.
