Flagship of the Second-Generation Cayenne (E2)
The Cayenne Turbo S (E2) was the top-of-the-line performance model in the second-generation Cayenne range, produced from 2012 to 2014 and later from 2015 to 2018 with updates.
Twin-Turbocharged V8 Power
It features a 4.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, producing up to 570 horsepower and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque in its later form — making it the most powerful Cayenne of its era.
Supercar-Level Acceleration
Despite its size, the Cayenne Turbo S can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 4.1 seconds, and reach a top speed of 284 km/h (176 mph) — faster than many sports cars.
All-Wheel Drive with Torque Vectoring
Porsche’s PTM all-wheel-drive system and PTV Plus torque vectoring come standard, enhancing traction and agility in all driving conditions.
Active Suspension and Dynamic Chassis Control
The Turbo S is equipped with PASM adaptive air suspension and PDCC (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control), which actively reduces body roll in corners for flatter, more confident handling.
Carbon Ceramic Brakes as Standard
It was one of the few SUVs at the time to offer standard Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) — ensuring fade-free stopping power and reducing unsprung weight.
Luxury Meets Performance Inside
The cabin features high-grade leather, Alcantara, carbon fiber or wood trim, and 18-way adaptive sport seats, blending premium comfort with sporty flair.
Highly Capable Off-Road
Despite its track-ready performance, the Cayenne Turbo S also includes off-road driving modes, adjustable ride height, and hill descent control, making it surprisingly capable off the pavement.
Fully Loaded as Standard
Unlike lesser models, the Turbo S came fully equipped, with nearly all optional extras (like panoramic sunroof, navigation, premium sound, and more) included as standard features.
A Wolf in SUV Clothing
The Cayenne Turbo S (E2) proved that an SUV could combine family practicality, luxury comfort, and true Porsche performance, earning praise from both critics and owners.
The Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (E2) is the ultimate performance SUV of its era, blending a 570 HP twin-turbo V8, luxury-laden interior, and track-worthy handling. It’s a supercar in SUV clothing, outgunning rivals like the BMW X5 M and Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S while offering Porsche’s signature driving dynamics.
