    New Cayenne model--created especially for the North American market--to offer exclusive colors, and comprehensive option package as standard equipment

    Porsche today announced a new model for the Cayenne lineup designed specifically for the U.S. and Canadian markets. The V-8 powered Cayenne S Titanium Edition will be available beginning in mid-July. This sharp new addition to the Porsche Cayenne lineup of sporting SUVs features titanium-colored trim, exclusive exterior and interior finishes, and the Cayenne's most popular options as standard equipment. The Cayenne S Titanium Edition will provide this additional content at a price point approximately 10 percent lower than a comparably equipped Cayenne S.

    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.

    Like the Cayenne S, the Cayenne S Titanium Edition is propelled by a 340-horsepower, 4.5-liter V-8. Mated to the standard six-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission, the Cayenne S Titanium Edition can sprint from a standstill to 60 mph (96 km/h) in only 6.8 seconds. The Cayenne S Titanium Edition can reach 99 mph (160 km/h) in just 16.8 seconds, and has a top track speed of 150 mph (242 km/h).

    Like all of Porsche's vehicles, the Cayenne possesses amazingly athletic capabilities, and thanks to the standard all-wheel-drive and Porsche Traction Management, these capabilities are not limited to paved roads. While many SUVs have an inherent tendency towards nose-heavy handling characteristics, Porsche engineers direct the majority of the V-8 engine's torque (62 percent) to the rear wheels. This provides all Cayenne models with handling dynamics more in line with Porsche's rear-drive sports cars, setting it apart in the SUV marketplace. These traits are so sought after by enthusiast drivers that the Cayenne has become the best selling of all Porsche models.

    The Porsche Cayenne Titanium Edition goes on sale in the U.S. and Canada in mid-July. Pricing for the new model in Canada is $89,800 (CAD).

    Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), based in Atlanta, GA, and its subsidiary, Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd., are the exclusive importers of Porsche sports cars and Cayenne sport utility vehicles for the United States and Canada. A wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, PCNA employs approximately 300 people who provide Porsche vehicles, parts, service, marketing and training for its 213 U.S. and Canadian dealers. They, in turn, provide Porsche owners with best-in-class service.

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    They are so many ways they could improve the Cayenne, but silver trimmed outside mirrors would not be at the top of my list.

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    US price is $64,900. While there are some nice features included, I agree with JimFlat6 on some of the trim pieces (IMO the rear spoiler should be body-colored for one).

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    I'm anxious to see a pic of the "Pure Red" color. I'm generally not a big fan of two-tone interiors, so that certainly wouldn't sway me. Frankly, I think this is a last ditch effort to bolster Cayenne S sales prior to the upcoming facelift. Locally, the same Cayenne S stock has sat on the lot for months. It would seem that anyone that wanted one already has one or remains indifferent. The introduction of this "new" variant will likely make those even harder to unload.

    Here you go... (with 20" techno wheels and air suspension)

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    And the last one..

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    2 tone is nice but the seats are ugly and the rear spoiler should be painted in the exterior color...

    Let's have another Porsche marketing phenomenal to get rid of the remainder of Cayennes. Oh by the way, Paint it Red so it'll burn everyone's retina when they look at it.

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    My usual take on this sort of stuff is "to each his own," but this goes too far. Perhaps RC or some of our other German friends could help us out. What is the German translation for "marketing schlock," or maybe just "YUCK"?

    Hey! Ease up guys! It's not all that bad!

    Well ... OK, maybe the red is a bit much ...

    But what's wrong with Porsche selling cars and making money? If this can help them move some Cayennes while we wait for the facelift, great.

    And improvement? Any vehicle could be improved. The Cayenne as it stands right now is an exceptional SUV and compares favorably with any competitor.

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    As usual, GM is the voice of reason. My reaction was strictly to the red version. The other stuff seems minor, if not my cup of tea. Will try to stifle my visceral reaction if/when I see one on the road.

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    What are you all talking about??? This is an awesome looking make-over. I've always found the standard cars to lack that boutique look. This car has got it. Best of all, it's a great deal at $65K in the U.S.. They'll have to give some pretty steep discounts to move the standard models, which will depreciate the used ones as well.

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    LOL, too bad that they didn't even bother to build the car... the red is very obviously photoshopped on all the pics...

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    I like the look of the titanium trim too bad its not available on the Cayenne Turbo S.

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    I love that red color !!! finally something "sporty".

    I'm looking forward for my Cayenne next year (facelift), and it will be in .... RED !! (customize color)

    How can you tell that (this is a serious question)? This is one of the 4 colors that it will be offered in, and is an official pic from Porsche (not saying that PS pictures aren't ever released, but since this is a car that is in production now, and red ones have been built...).

    The red is being offered as a special color for the Titanium Edition. Are you sure they will be offering red on the normal production models when the facelift comes out?

    In the past Porsche has not offered customized colors on the Cayenne.

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    Selected dealerships already have this car. I'm told the Newport Beach dealer has one.

    Probably not, as they don't go on sale for another month (probably won't be shipped for a couple more weeks yet).

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    These vehicles are not for sale, but for display only. Check the Newport Beach Porsche website. It even shows in their inventory.

    Actually those would be cars they have on order. No Cayenne S Titaniums have been shipped to dealers yet. (If you have actually physically seen one there, then maybe they got it after the dealer meetings somehow.)

    Re: Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition to Debut in July

    Any luck finding pics of the Iceland Silver?
