From GTS to PTGP: April was certainly a month characterised by sportiness

While the new, particularly dynamic GTS models complete our comprehensively revised Cayenne model line, the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix has offered world class tennis and top entertainment in the heart of Stuttgart.

Our second issue of Porsche Spotlight tells a story of dynamics, high-performance, sportsmanship and more.

So let’s dive right in!

It was back in April 2023, when we overhauled the third generation of the Cayenne with comprehensive changes to the powertrain, chassis, design and equipment. Unveiled at the Auto Shanghai 2023, the new Cayenne extends not only the on-road and off-road performance, but also the luxurious everyday comfort.

“It’s one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche.” Michael Schätzle, Vice President Product Line Cayenne.

Precise and dynamic: the new Cayenne GTS models:

At its core, the Cayenne is both a high-performance sports car and an all-terrain SUV. However, for the new GTS models, this balance has traditionally shifted towards improved on-road capability. With a powerful drive system, precise tuning and an exclusive design, the new Cayenne GTS remains true to this principle while remaining suited to everyday use.

Convince yourself:

New Driver Experience:

The new GTS models also benefit from the recent comprehensive product upgrade for the Cayenne, which includes the new Porsche Driver Experience with a curved digital instrument cluster as standard and an optional passenger display.

Focus story: Porsche at Auto China 2024

The 18th edition of Auto China runs from 25 April to 5 May. We are using our appearance in the Chinese capital to once again emphasise the enormous importance of the market for Porsche.  Since entering the market in 2001, Porsche China has developed into a mainstay. With the sales regions of North America, Europe and the overseas and growth markets, China is one of the reasons why Porsche has a very balanced and stable sales structure worldwide.

"Electromobility is developing rapidly in China. It's fascinating to see. With our Chinese version of the new Taycan and our first all-electric Macan, we are pushing forwards here at just the right time. I am certain that we will once again inspire our customers and further expand our position in the luxury BEV vehicle segment." Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board
