Edo Competition Tunes the Porsche Cayenne GTS


As if the Porsche Cayenne GTS wasn't impressive enough, the team at Edo Competition has gone one step further in making the GTS truly mean. Tweaks to the engine means that the Edo GTS produces 450 horsepower and 530 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 45 horses and 161 pound-feet. That means 0-62 miles per hour happens in just 6.4 seconds and this GTS will roar all the way up to a top speed of 168 mph. All of this added performance comes courtesy of a high-flow catalytic converter, performance air filter inserts, and a new ECU calibration.
Engine aside, Edo has also outfitted this Cayenne GTS with a new brake system, featuring six-piston mono-block calipers with thicker and larger-diameter brake rotors (15 x 1.5 inches). A revised sport suspension has also been added, with adjustable height, compression (fourteen different settings), and rebound damping (continuously variable). On the design front, a new front skirt with four foglamps has been added as well as twenty-two-inch forged wheels. Customers can opt for painted wheel centers, as well.

No word on pricing, but we're sure that the Edo GTS comes at quite a premium over the standard factory model, and we think this is a great alternative to shelling out the cash for a Cayenne Turbo or the upcoming Turbo S.
