The Cayenne Turbo S is Porsche's HP "King of the Hill"

The new 911 Turbo debuts next week in Geneva. No big suprise there. Porsche has a history of bringing out the Turbo cars about a year after a major revision to the "911" line. And it's no big suprise that Porsche was able to squeeze another 60 horsepower from the pressurized flat-6, for a total of 480bhp.


What is suprising to me is the 911 Turbo is not Porsche's most powerful product (if you agree with me the Carrera GT is now out of production). Save that distinction for the SUV from the sports car company, the Cayenne Turbo S. At 520hp it's unmatched by anything but some truly serious cars, never mind any SUVs.

I wonder if Porsche is holding back some special for a few lucky 911 Turbo buyers.... maybe a 911 Turbo S. I guess we will need to wait and see.
