2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS is Green, But Not With Envy

The 2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS in the video you see below is painted a shade called Peridot Metallic, which is a fancy name for bright green. But this $83,025 SUV isn’t envying anything, as you can see in this one-minute teaser of the new hopped-up SUV.

The video below is little more than a teaser for the new model, which combines a 4.8-liter, 420-horse V-8 engine, an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. That’s 20 more horses than the Cayenne S, but 80 fewer than the Cayenne Turbo. The GTS does, however, get the Turbo’s brakes, hood, and front fascia. Owners can also paint their GTS crossovers in one of two special colors, the Peridot Metallic here or Carmine Red. At $83,025, the GTS is considerably more than the $66,825 asking price of the Cayenne S, but it’s also a heck of a lot less than the Cayenne Turbo, which starts at $109,825.

All in all, the Cayenne GTS is anything but bland, and no doubt Porsche will find many buyers. Let us know if you think the car (and video) are hot or not in the comments below.
