I can't get a straight answer out of anyone. Is Porsche going to manufacture a Turbo S for 2015 or not? I understand that the Turbo's don't sell as well as the Turbo S's, but this feels like a ploy designed to get customers to buy the existing models before springing the Turbo S a few months later. Thanks.

 

With the 958, didn't the Turbo S show up in 2013, 2 years after the launch? Granted the 2015 is not a new model (958.2). My guess would be that Porsche won't release a Turbo S this year. They'll bring it out next year to spur buyers into not waiting for the new model.

 

I think you're right. One dealer said "maybe in the Spring," another "probably by the end of the year." Neither knew [or claimed to know] anything for certain. Thanks.

 

Looks like I might be wrong

I got a brochure for it in the mail from Porsche. The answer is, yes, and it will be 0-60 in 4.1 seconds.

 

The numbers I saw was 0-60 in 3.8.

 

Great, but the brochure says 4.1. If it's sub 4 seconds real world, I'm just going to be off my rocker waiting for them to depreciate a few years so I can pick one up. I'll never be insane enough to buy one of these new though. Depreciation curve is unreal.

 

Now you have me 2nd guessing myself. Need to find where I saw the numbers.

 

That number you saw is likely 0-100 km/h. That would be 0-62 approx. right?

The 0-60 should be 4.0 i would think.

 

I don't think so, but I'll hunt around for the brochure. If my kids haven't destroyed it and the wife hasn't recycled it yet, I'll snap a pic.

EDIT: She recycled it. I get no respect, I tell ya, no respect at all.

 

its now on the US site. I knew they wouldnt leave money on the table:

press release. I've highlighted a few things that were interesting:


The new Cayenne Turbo S

The top athlete among SUVs

At the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Porsche is also introducing the new Cayenne Turbo S – the top model of the sporty SUV model series. Its re-engineered 4.8-liter V8 biturbo engine now develops 570 hp (419 kW) and 800 Nm (590 ft lb) of torque. A chassis that is tuned for maximum driving dynamics and packs a wide range of control systems also makes the Cayenne Turbo S a genuine top athlete.

It can turn a lap of the North Loop of the Nürburgring in 7:59.74 minutes. The Cayenne sets a new record for SUVs here, and it also proves that every Porsche is a genuine sports car – even in this vehicle segment.

The more spontaneous response of the biturbo engine is primarily a benefit of the integral turbochargers, which are now housed directly in the exhaust manifolds. This new approach also improves combustion. The high-performance engine offers 20 hp more power and 50 Nm (36.8 ft lb) more torque than the previous engine. The Cayenne Turbo S accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds – which is 0.4 seconds faster than the previous model (0 – 60 mph in 3.8 seconds). Its top speed is now 284 km/h (176 mph).

The Cayenne Turbo S also underscores its position as a top athlete in its chassis systems. Its standard Porsche Composite Ceramic Brakes (PCCB) include 420 mm front brake discs and, for the first time, ten-piston calipers. The rear brakes have 370 mm discs and four-piston calipers. The active roll stabilization system, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) proactively reduces side tilt when driving through curves early on. Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) increases dynamic handling and stability by making specific brake interventions at the right or left rear wheel – this noticeably improves steering into curves and steering precision. The active hang-on all-wheel drive system Porsche Traction Management (PTM) permanently drives the rear wheels while offering fully variable power distribution to the front wheels. Some advantages of the interplay between all systems: excellent driving dynamics and traction as well as a high level of agility at any speed.

Standard features of the Cayenne Turbo S reflect the top level of this model. They include 21-inch wheels in distinctive 911 Turbo design with black painted edges, LED headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus), full-leather interior with Porsche logo embossed on all head restraints as well as interior carbon accents. Interior styling in a black/creme color combination is making its debut in the Cayenne Turbo S. Creating exterior visual accents are the air inlet surround at the front of the vehicle that is painted in high-gloss black, the undersides of the door mirrors in the same color and the roof spoiler and wheel arch moldings in car color. A sport exhaust system is available as an option in combination with a switchable sound symposer, which optimally transmits the V8 sound experience into the interior.

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo S will be launched in the United States in late-April 2015. The MSRP for the Cayenne Turbo S is $157,300. MSRP does not include a destination charge of $995.

 

Well I was considering an upgrade from my '06 but I think I can wait a few years. Nothing less will do now. Now someone please order one in Macadamia over natural dark tan for me to pick up CPO in 2017.
