Porsche unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show the 2009 Cayenne Turbo S, the most powerful Cayenne of them all. Sales will begin in August 2008 at a price of EUR 111,400.
The Cayenne Turbo S is powered by a 4.8 liter V8 engine with twin turbo forced induction that delivers 550 hp at 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 750 Nm from 2,250 rpm to 4,500 rpm. The engine is mated to a Six-speed Tiptronic S converter automatic gearbox. It makes the 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 4.7 seconds and can hit a top speed of 174.0 mph.
All models of the Turbo S have a chassis which benefits from air suspension, not to mention suspension leveling and ride-height control, along with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which – once again as standard – is combined with Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) and Servotronic speed-sensitive variable power steering.

Porche unveiled today the 2008 Cayenne S Transsyberia, an improved model that will be offered to customer teams around the world as a conversion kit.
In the modifications to the Cayenne S Transsyberia, primary importance was given to further improving the offroad capabilities and optimising the suspension set-up. The 2008-spec of the successful long distance racer features a stronger and newly-formed sump-guard. The front and rear panels were modified to allow a larger angle of driving slope. An all-terrain offroad tyre from BFGoodrich in the 265/65 R18 R dimension increases the ground clearance by 30 millimetres. Compared to last year, the higher and stronger side walls offer better protection against tyre damage. 
The air suspension was retuned based on the experiences of the 2007 Transsyberia Rally. The standard shock absorbers were replaced with special rally shocks. Particularly on the fast, bumpy sections, the vehicle’s handling is substantially smoother than the 2007 version. Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), which features two active anti-roll bars to almost completely eliminate body sway in bends, was adapted to withstand the special demands of a marathon rally. The Cayenne S Transsyberia is powered by a 4.8-litre normally-aspirated engine with direct fuel injection that delivers 385 hp. It makes the 0-60 mph sprint in 6.8 seconds and can hit a top speed of 105 mph. Press release after the jump. >> read 2008 Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia Picture Gallery .

Porsche added today a new member to its 911 family: the GT3 Cup S, based on the road-going GT3 RS sportscar, a model created exclusively for racing purposes. The GT3 Cup S is powered by a 3.6-liter boxer engine that delivers 440 hp at 8,000 rpm and a peak torque of 430 Nm at 7,250 rpm.
The body of the Cup S is not based on the road-going GT3 but on the GT3 RS. In the wider wheel arches, considerably larger wheels can now be mounted. At the front, the rims measure 10.5 inches in width with 12 inch wheels fitted at the rear. The front section and flares are significantly different to the GT3 Cup components. An adjustable front-splitter generates more downforce at the front axle. The rear-wing is wider and positioned higher than the Cup version and provides more downforce at the rear axle. The new GT3 Cup S costs 250,000 Euro plus national VAT and is scheduled for delivery to customer teams from April. Specifications after the jump. >> read
