Cayenne GT

[F355spider]

I heard that they are stopping the Cayenne S and replacing it with a 450 bhp Cayenne GT around about March next year. I understand that it will be having a new engine and a few bits of the Turbo trims, retailing at something like £58k basic.

Anyone heard similar? I have a mate who wanted a Cayenne S but this has buggered his decision to buy as the price is now £10k more.

Any pics or threads/links relating to this would be handy.

that would surprise me as 450bhp is old turbo power so closes the gap too much

Sounds like wishful thinking or a mix-up of unrelated information to me. Also read of a Cayenne GT but it being positioned obove the Turbo.

If they positioned the GT as you mentioned then there would be a gigantic gap between the V6 and next higher model. Also, Porsche just introduced the upgraded V8. They are commercially minded enough to just use it for a year or so...
