Porsche launches most powerful Cayenne

View Pictures

The Cayenne Turbo S is the most powerful version of Porsche's SUV.

Launched at the Beijing motor show, the Cayenne Turbo S has a 550bhp 4.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine.

The monster power unit is 50bhp more potent than its predecessor.

It has enough power to see this Cayenne go from 0-62mph in a supercar-busting 4.8 seconds.

A top speed of 174mph is also more than enough to give most supercars a run for their money.

The Turbo S is spotted by its 21-inch alloy wheels, four exhaust pipes and larger air intakes in the front grille that are painted in body colour.

Less obvious are the optional ceramic brakes that borrow Formula One technology to slow the 2.3-tonne Cayenne Turbo S.

Inside, the Turbo S is all luxury thanks to leather-covered sports seats, Porsche's latest satellite navigation and a Bose stereo.

Sales start in August this year and the price will be around £90,000 in the UK.
