The big-dog Cayenne returns

  In 1999, the 996-generation Porsche 911 GT3 managed to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife (a motorsports complex in Germany) in 7 minutes and 56 seconds, making it the first road going Porsche to fall below the 8 second mark. Now, 17 years later, Porsche has released the Cayenne Turbo S, an even quicker version of the already ridiculously fast Cayenne Turbo. And Porsche claims it has managed to break the Nordschleife eight-minute barrier itself, having posted a 7:59.74.
With 570 HP, I believe it.

 

 

 

  Enough race talk. Beyond the lap time, the S is, as its name suggests, a turned-up-to-11 version of the existing Turbo. The power of the Cayenne Turbo S comes from slightly retuned version of the same 4.8 liter V-8, but now it delivers 570 hp and 590 lb-ft torque. Wait, What? In laymen's terms, that translates into an official 3.8 second 0-60 time. 

 

 

 

 

There are other, subtle differences in the new Cayenne Turbo S as well. The carbon-fiber interior trim and what's described as a black/cream combination. The air intakes at the front of the vehicle are also painted a glossy black, so be sure to look out for those. The Turbo S goes on sale in the U.S in late April with an MSRP of $158,295. I mean, the carbon fiber isn't going to pay for itself.
