The press release was short and concise, only a few lines. It鈥檚 the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the ultra-lightweight, track-bred monster. The GT3 is the only 911 to be powered by a naturally aspirated engine. No turbos. And Porsche has just given it an update, as if it even needed one. When we received Porsche鈥檚 email to announce its new baby, there were very few words in it, but mostly numbers. Big numbers. This Porsche鈥檚 engine, a 4.0-litre flat six, now develops 520 horsepower. Let that sink in for a bit. That鈥檚 20 more than the last GT3 RS and the current GT3. Remember, there are no turbos in there, no supercharger. Just an engine - a Porsche engine. Torque climbs slightly from 339 to 346 lb.-ft. However, this flat six can rev all the way to 9000 rpm! The car鈥檚 total weight was also significantly reduced thanks to lighter materials such as wheels and door panels. The car checks in at only 1420 kg. Porsche says the only available transmission will be a seven-speed, dual-clutch PDK automatic. Sorry stick fans, no manual for this one. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is claimed at 3.4 seconds, and the car鈥檚 top speed is rated at 312 km/h. Just kidding, this car鈥檚 awesome. 213,400. The car should hit showrooms later this year, says Porsche.
It slingshots to 60 mph in less than 4.0 seconds (3.7 seconds with Sport Chrono) and stretches its legs up to a top speed of 177 mph. The speed鈥檚 great, but its whuffling V-8 exhaust seals the deal, even though by some claims, it鈥檚 not the fastest SUV on earth. The Cayenne E-Hybrid puts out a combined 455 horsepower and can run on electric power alone for nearly 27 miles, Porsche says. It furnishes ample power from any speed thanks to torque that peaks just off idle. With moderate throttle application, the E-Hybrid's electric motor provides decent grunt A subtle indent in the throttle pedal lets drivers know when they're reaching the electric-only powertrain's limit when the gas engine nearly silently kicks over. Every one of these powertrains moves power through a paddle-shifted 8-speed automatic and an all-wheel-drive system that can split power between the front and rear wheels, then again between the rear wheels when outfitted with the available torque-vectoring differential.
The meaty tires (summer rubber鈥檚 a must-have option) don鈥檛 look off-road ready, but the Cayenne can ford through 19.7 inches of water, and can hold oil pressure on a 45-degree incline. With the right tow packages, it can pull up to 7,700 pounds. Porsche imbues the Cayenne with excellent handling and a firm ride, even the base SUV with a front strut and rear multi-link suspension, 19-inch wheels and tires, and electric power steering. So far, we鈥檝e driven all the powertrains, but each came in a Cayenne fitted with torque-vectoring, summer tires, air suspension, and 21-inch wheels. On paved roads, the Cayenne can seem almost mellow, in its comfort settings. The ride and steering always have a certain degree of heft and stiffness, because it鈥檚 a Porsche and needs to feel more like a 718 or 911 than it does like, say, a Maybach. With all the optional systems, the Cayenne had almost no body lean, but the lighter amounts of compliance offered by the taut suspension and performance-minded tires created a lot of head toss. On the flip side, the Cayenne鈥檚 steering cuts a clean, telegraphic path on almost any road. The rear-steer setup lets it move the front wheels 3 degrees in the opposite direction of the rears at low speeds, and that helps it carve much tighter lines through very sharp corners (and, okay, in mall parking lots). It helps the Cayenne feel small, when by any objective measure, it isn鈥檛.
