Characterized by a very aggressive appearance, this highly modified Porsche Cayenne called Balrog is the work of car stylist Jeremie Paret. After 8 months of hard work and what must have felt like countless sketches, the automotive designer has developed a completely different exterior for the high performance SUV that matches its capabilities with a bold body kit and a wide array of wheels.
Jeremie Paret’s tuning kit includes: a new front bumper with a much larger central opening and a pair of fog lights with LED lit surrounds. One of the nice features is that it retains the original Cayenne Turbo side marker lights as well as the original Cayenne’s parking sensors. The new grin is made up of a multitude of functional vents that direct air to cool off the radiator, intercooler and front brakes. The rest of the kit is rounded out by a set of wide fender flares, lower hanging side skirts and a rear diffuser to complete the ground effects aspect of the kit.
The German tuning house Cargraphic has just come up with a new package specifically designed for the alternatively fueled Porsche Cayenne. The turbo diesel V6 now makes 290 HP, up from the factory 240 HP rating; because it’s a diesel the torque numbers are already impressive 405 lb-ft of torque, but after Cagraphic got done with the oil burner it makes 465 lb-ft of thrust. The SUV’s top speed is also increased to 137 MPH.
“Here it’s the torque, even more than the outright power, that is really impressive”; explains Cargraphic CEO Thomas Schnarr. “The 630 Nm peak torque (compared to 550 Nm in the standard model) means the Cayenne kicks down like an Olympic sprinter firing from the starting blocks.”
The exterior is upgraded with a new front valance complete with larger more aggressive openings and the four round driving lights that are becoming standard on all tuned European rides. Out back there is a new rear diffuser to house the quad tipped sports exhaust and an interesting Cargraphic skid plate underneath. The low hanging side skirts tie the wide wheel arches together very nicely, not to mention the plus sized rims available in sizes ranging from 20 to 22 inches.

The over the top tuners from Gemballa have just reveled their latest take on the Porsche Cayenne with their GT 550 Aero 3 Sport Design package. The latest version of the tuning kit consists of a large mouth front bumper filled with a number of cutouts that increase airflow and the GT EVO hood is equally as perforated. There are turn indicators built into the rear view mirrors and Gemballa side skirts bring the GT 550’s body closer to the ground. Out back there is a large roof mounted rear wing to help keep the back end planted at highway speeds and a redesigned rear bumper that frames the sports exhaust quite well.
The Gemballa GT 550 rides on a set of the company’s signature GT Sport-R wheels measuring a massive 22 inches in diameter that are connected to an electronically controlled lowering module that will eliminate any unsightly fender gap. On the inside, the luxury tuned Cayenne features tinted windows and interior design trim kit that compliments the SPC designed luxury racing buckets for the front seat passengers. Making sense of the name, Gemablla has tuned the turbocharged Porsche SUV to produce 550 HP.

After first announcing their tuning kit for the diesel powered Porsche Cayenne at the Geneva Motor Show, the German tuners at TECHART have just revealed the latest details about their new ride.
The high performance tuners started their work under the hood. The 3.0 Liter turbo diesel power plant now delivers 290 HP and 465 lb-ft of torque. The alternatively fueled luxury vehicle can sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in 7.7 seconds while still getting 25.3 MPG from the two ton performance vehicle.
The customization program also includes a reworked suspension complimented by a set of 21 inch alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Diamaris 4X4 XL, SUV specific rubber sized 295/35 R21. The front end receives a new front bumper with a deeper front spoiler and integrated running lights, lower side skirts and a new rear apron with integrated diffuser. Some simple head and taillight masks also accentuate the Cayenne’s sporty character. Finally, spent gasses exit through a pair of oval exhaust tips framed nicely by the TECHART rear valence.
The interior of the Cayenne is upgraded with trim upgrades that include light weight aluminum pedals and dead pedal as well as leather trimmed luxury logo floor mats. However the nicest touch comes from the three spoke TECHART sports steering wheel with Porsche airbag inside. The kit from TECHART can be all yours for only $24,200. That is not including the $4,000 engine kit or the Cayenne to put everything on, either way if you want a high quality high performance Porsche, you can’t go wrong with TECHART.

The German sports car builder, Porsche, unveiled a green version of their popular SUV, the Cayenne Hybrid back in 2007. However the scheduled release of the production vehicle is still about a year away. The German newspaper Rheinische Post has reported that, Porsche board member Wolfgang Dürheimer revealed that the Porsche Cayenne SUV will hit showrooms in the second half of 2010 and will be priced at a heafty $124,500.
The Porsche Cayenne Hybrid SUV will be powered by an Audi-sourced 3.0 Liter V6 power plant, with the gas engine making 333 HP and 324 lb-ft of torque and the electric motor contributing another 52 HP and 221 lb-ft of torque to get the Cayenne moving in a more environmentally friendly manner.
Just because the Cayenne is a hybrid doesn’t mean that it is a slouch. The gas/electric power train combination allows the Porsche hybrid to sprint from the 0 to 60 MPH in only 6.8 seconds while averaging about 32 MPG when cruising on the highway, that is an entire 10 MPG better than the traditional V6 powered SUV from Porsche.
The tuning scene is always about being on top of the competition, especialy in the luxury SUV market. Due to the German tuners at TechArt and their Magnum, the Russian accesorizers from Status Design have decided to produce an even more outrageous kit, complete with super carlike vents and ducting, whether or not they suceeded in their efforts has yet to be determined.
The tuning kit created by the Soviet tuning house is an aggressive one, making from the Porsche Cayenne a barbarian of an SUV. The kit features a completely new front bumper, new hood, front fenders, side sills and panels as well as a tricked out rear spoiler.
For now the design is only on paper. This autumn we will see the real deal, and at the same moment find out if the Russians decided to do a little work under the hood as well.
MAFF Tuning created their Muron project based on the Porsche Cayenne in order to offer an alternative for a truly custom super SUV. The Muron is unique because this is the base model as far as MAFF is concerned. Owners can upgrade from FRP to carbon fiber, choose from a wide variety of wheels and finish. MAFF is even ready to make up to 700 HP to make their customers happy. They have created one truly custom SUV, just check out the interior.

TO THE THIEF WHO STOLE THE GOLD PORSCHE 911: Here’s your match set.
Unfortunately for that thief, this Porsche is a few thousand miles from Moscow. This Cayenne is in the home of chrome cars, Dubai. The thief probably interested anyway. From the looks of the perfect shine, this is most likely not actual gold but just a wrap instead.
The Porsche Roxster small SUV has been a long-dead half-rumor, but that doesn’t mean lessons learned cannot be applied. The current Porsche Cayenne weighs in at about two tons, and we have suspected for a while that the portly proportions doesn’t sit too well with Porsche, especially as SUVs become less fashionable. That’s why rumors of a lighter second-generation Cayenne are going around.
The diet should consist of aluminum for most body panels. So while the wheelbase may grow by a couple of inches, the fuel economy still should be better than the current model. Another element to keep the MPGs higher will be the continuation of the diesel model (not available in North America) and the addition of a gas/electric hybrid.
