Porsche has always been known as one of the greatest sports/race cars makers of all time with its race cars winning here and there in different racing events. Naturally, all its vehicles, even those not intended for the race tracks, promise power and performance beyond the driver’s imagination. I am, of course a little bit exaggerating, but you know what I mean. Our Porsche car of the moment which has a promising combination of performance and luxurious utility is the new 2008 Cayenne GTS. With these characteristics, it is being dubbed as the best-handling sports utility vehicle on the globe. There’s no doubt about the 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS offering great performance. Why wouldn’t it be? It has a 4.8-liter V-8 engine installed under its heavy bonnet which promises to provide a whooping 405 horsepower and this engine is mated to a six-speed Tiptronic S transmission. Naturally, its powerful performance lets it dash from 0-62mph in just 6.5 seconds and reach 100mph in approximately 15 seconds. But as this is Porsche were talking about, its performance and acceleration speed are not even its icings on the cake. It is not being dubbed as the best handling SUV for nothing. Its handling ability is its greatest asset which makes it stand out among other Cayenne models. This is thanks to the Active Suspension Management combined with steel springs instead of with air suspension. This is actually the first Cayenne model to do such and to have that Porsche sports car practice. But since US federal ride-height regulations classify the Cayenne as a light truck, 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS models coming to the land of opportunities will have PASM combined with air suspension. But even with that, the models arriving in the US will still benefit from the 0.79-inch stance that offers stiffer suspension algorithms from its three-mode electronic shock controls and the 21-inch running gear. The visual goodies and features of the ever good-looking Cayenne come from the blackout pillars, wider wheel arches, Turbo-sourced front and rear fascias, and optional twin-roof spoiler.
