Limited to fewer than 100 units in the United States, Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3 features interior and exterior styling cues that help communicate the unique Porsche’s high-performance personality.

It will be available through authorized Porsche dealers in the second half of this year for a price of $89,900 and it will come in Lava Grey Metallic with special design stripes adorning the sides and the hood.



Bi-Xenon headlights are standard, yet they are finished in black to tie in with the dark privacy glass on windows rear of the B-pillar and the monochrome black exterior package for the window surrounds, door handles and door trim.

Adding to the look is the “Cayenne GTS”  model designation on the rear liftgate in black with the “S” in red, and the standard 21-inch SportPlus wheels and the wheel arch extensions finished in Lava Grey Metallic.

Finally, customers can select an extended roof spoiler with a double-wing profile as a no-cost option.


 
Exclusive black leather interior with contrasting red stitching in the seams on the upper dashboard and door trim, floor mats and cargo area mat further enhance the looks of this limited edition Cayenne.
 
Other interior accents include electrically adjustable sport seats with extended memory and raised bolsters for additional lateral support, the Porsche crest embossed on the headrests, and the center sections of the front and rear seats finished in non-slip Alcantara.
 

 
The center console, the door linings, the inner sections of the door handles, and the entire roof lining are trimmed in Alcantara, as well.  

The car also features a 410-watt, 14-speaker Bose 5.1 Surround Sound System  and a glovebox badge bearing the series production number round out the interior package.

Performance comes via a 4.8-liter V8 engine fitted with a Sport Exhaust System as standard equipment and mated to Porsche’s six-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission.

With 405 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, the Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3 can sprint to 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds on its way to a top test track speed of 156 mph.

This special model includes as standard equipment several Porsche Design accessories.

Porsche Design Studio has created a Type P’6612 automatic chronograph featuring a light titanium casing measuring 1.65 inches (42 mm) in diameter.

It also has a metal strap with DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating, a special coating carried over from racing engines that gives the titanium casing its characteristic color.

Finally, the exclusive chronograph face plays off of the Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3’s unique interior.

Also included is a four-piece luggage set (three trolley cases in various sizes and a functional briefcase) bearing the Porsche Design Edition 3 label.
