Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition

So, what do you do when you want to spice up your model’s sales? Well, obviously, you facelift it. But that’s not the case with Porsche who has overdelayed its presentation of the upgraded Cayenne. Instead the Germans came up with another way to back up their luxury SUV’s sales by announcing the addition of a new version for the Cayenne lineup.

Designed specifically for the U.S. and Canadian markets, the Cayenne S Titanium Edition features -what else… titanium-colored trim, exclusive exterior and interior finishes, and the Cayenne’s most popular options as standard equipment.

The Cayenne S Titanium Edition is propelled by a 340-horsepower, 4.5-liter V-8. Mated to the standard six-speed Tiptronic S auto transmission, it sprint’s from a standstill to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 6.8 seconds, while it can reach 99 mph (160 km/h) in just 16.8 seconds.

The V-8 powered Cayenne S Titanium Edition will be available beginning in mid-July. Pricing for the new model in the U.S. and Canada is $64,900 (USD) and $89,800 (CAD) respectively.

Press Release: The newest Porsche SUV draws it moniker from the “Titanium Metallic” trim which is exclusive to the model. The exterior trim pieces which receive a finish in this subtle metallic hue include the roof spoiler, the frame and lower portion of the side mirrors, the front air inlets, window frames including the B- and C-pillars, door handles (with a body-color inlay), door-sill trim and the Cayenne S logo.

The Cayenne S Titanium Edition is available in four distinct exterior colors, including two which are exclusive to the new model: “Pure Red” is a vibrant and overtly sporting shade, and “Iceland Silver Metallic” is a classic light silver tinged with cool blue. The Cayenne S Titanium Edition will also be available in “Black” and “Marine Blue Metallic.” Along with the door handle inlays, each Cayenne S Titanium Edition features body-colored rocker-panel extensions, helping frame the standard 19-inch wheels coated in a Titanium Metallic finish. Also standard are four-pipe-look chrome exhaust tips, and 20-inch SportTechno wheels with a titanium-color finish are optional.

The interior receives equal attention, as the cabin of each Cayenne S Titanium Edition features an exclusive two-tone design. The two color combinations are “Black/Sand Beige” and “Black/Steel Grey,” with the dark finish covering the center sections of the seats and headrests, the floormats, the upper dashboard and door trim panels, the steering wheel rim and steering column, the front of the center console and the luggage compartment cover. In keeping with the model’s metallic theme, the instrument cluster dials have a metal-look finish, and the stainless-steel door-entry guards are embossed with the “Cayenne S titanium” logo.

Contributing to its stylish-value theme, the Cayenne S Titanium Edition provides as standard equipment the most popular options fitted to vehicles in the North American market. These include Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamically controlled cornering lights, Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with DVD/GPS based navigation, and an electric tilting/sliding glass moonroof.
