What Changed for 2008:

• Second-generation Cayenne features new design


• Direct fuel injection adds power and increases fuel economy


• New 405-hp Cayenne GTS model

Porsche skips right over the 2007 model year to roll out the “second generation” Cayenne sport utility vehicle (SUV), their best-selling model in North America. While the first Cayenne underscored the “sport” in SUV, this next Cayenne shows off an updated body design and bears an array of more powerful engines across the full model range. A new model for 2008, the 405-hp Cayenne GTS slots itself between the 500-hp Cayenne Turbo and the slightly less powerful 385-hp Cayenne S.
