I have more: official power is 521 HP in Germany.
Unfortunately I also have "bad" news: the Cayenne Turbo S is based on the current Cayenne model, no "early" facelift like some people expected.
I was all signed up...until I heard it will cost close to $150k....What a great deal seeing as though a facelift will be out within... what...a year? This Turbo S looks like it's going to be a flop.

I'm not sure about the price tag, I heard that a Cayenne Turbo S incl. some special options will be priced at Cayenne Turbo Powerkit level. We'll see soon, official presentation is early January (I have details but...
sorry). 
Cayenne facelift is rumored for MY 2008 (summer 2007). Around 18 months more to go...

RC, if it's in the PK $ range - then are they going to up the PK power to S levels? Else who in their right mind will buy a PK'ed Turbo - or is that the idea - to phase out the PK?
My guy, who has been very good with dates and prices tells me it will go for a BARE minium of $135k (no custom options) ....Pretty ridiculous imo.

I think Porsche will stop selling the "base" turbo (with or without PK) when the turbo S comes out.
It will be back with the facelift as my 2007.

Nope...no chance of that...I know people who are already booked in for Turbo's next year (past the launch of the S)
Another thing - the scope in price of the vehicle now is enormous...a base for $40k...a Turbo S for $130-150k....that's just ludicrous.
Re: Cayenne Turbo S
520 hp SUV why ? Does more power enhance and SUV (becuase that is what it is not a sports car ) I know nothing about SUV's and maybe the more power the better , the way I see it is very few people even take these things off road . Again how does massive HP help off road ?
Re: Cayenne Turbo S
Article on web -
Few would ever complain that the standard Porsche Cayenne Turbo is lacking in grunt with 450bhp, but it seems that some Porsche customers think so. For them Porsche has raised the power from its 4.5-litre twin turbocharged V8 engine to 521bhp - an increase of 71bhp.
In doing so they've created the new flagship Cayenne Turbo S an SUV that's able to sprint to 62mph in a staggering 5.2 seconds - exactly the same time as a 911 Carrera. The top speed is 167mph.
Please click the photos at bottom to enlarge:
To achieve that increase in power Porsche's engineers have added a pair of intercoolers to the turbochargers. The improved efficiency of this new set up also allowing a rise in boost pressure to ensure the Cayenne Turbo S's output is only second to the 612bhp Carrera GT in the current Porsche range. Making sure all that bulk stops effectively is a modified braking system with larger discs and pads, their cooling aided by 20-inch SportTechno alloy wheels. Fuel economy is claimed to be the same as the standard Cayenne Turbo model 'in the same speed range'. However, the official combined figure of 15.7mpg of the Cayenne Turbo in our experience has always proved rather optimistic, so expect the more powerful Turbo S to be an even thirstier beast.
But, if you can stomach the Pounds81,565 list price for this new hyper-Cayenne you can surely afford the regular trips to the fuel pumps. Pop Feb 25 in your diary, the Turbo S's official on-sale date, if you're after one of the fastest and most accomplished on-road-off-roaders on the planet.
