2023 Porsche Cayenne GTS

Finished in Quartzite Grey, this 2023 Cayenne GTS pairs Porsche's 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with the full complement of chassis hardware that makes the model the driver's pick of the range. Output is 454 bhp and 620 lb-ft, enough for 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds and a 168 mph top speed, sent through an eight-speed Tiptronic S gearbox to all four wheels. Rear axle steering, PDCC active anti-roll and GTS-specific adaptive air suspension with PASM are all fitted, which is what lets a heavy SUV change direction with real conviction.

The specification leans on the Lightweight Sports Package in carbon and the matching Carbon Design Package, along with high-gloss black mirrors, door handles and roof spoiler, black Matrix LED headlights with PDLS Plus, and an Exclusive Design fuel filler cap. Inside, Bordeaux Red seat belts and a Bordeaux Red rev counter dial add contrast to the cabin, which also has heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel and windscreen, ambient lighting and a BOSE surround system.

This example has covered 39,500 miles. Practical additions include adaptive cruise control, Lane Change Assist, ParkAssist with Surround View and privacy glass. It is offered at £69,990 by Redline Specialist Cars.
