Aside from the driver’s seat, a vehicle’s steering wheel is one of the only items inside of a car that the operator will be in constant contact with throughout the automobile’s life cycle, so a small upgrade in the directional department can go a long way towards enhancing the driving experience. The German tuner Gemballa is now offering a new steering wheel for the Porsche Cayenne. The wheel is slightly smaller in diameter, measuring only 365 millimeters across and features a modern three spoke design. Customers can chose from a variety of leather wrapped finishes and colors with an optional carbon element at the owners request, all starting at around € 1,680.

If you thought that the guys at Gemaballa went a little crazy when they came up with the GT 750 Aero 3 Sport Exclusive based on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo then this wide mouth high performance modified SUV from German tuners ENCO Exclusive will simply blow you away. Now this isn’t the first over the top creation that we have seen from ENCO, their previous Cayenne featured body work that was just as bold as their current creation, except this time the Gladiator 700 GT Biturbo has a few more horses under the hood.
ENCO swapped out the standard hairdryers with a pair of larger snails as well as an ENCO designed free flowing exhaust system complete with custom manifolds and high flow sport catalytic converters to eliminate any trace of backpressure from the boosted V8. Along with a proper tune of the Cayenne’s ECU to make all the engine components work together harmoniously ENCO was able to extract a total of 700 HP and 627 lb-ft of torque from the modified behemoth. Despite the Cayenne’s hefty 2.5 ton curb weight, this powerful Porsche is still able to sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in only 4.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 180 MPH.
The interior of the Gladiator 700 GT Biturbo is equally as sporty as the rest of the vehicle, the modified Cayenne features four individually wrapped leather racing buckets complete with Alcantara inserts taken straight from the Porsche 911 GT3. These lightweight racing seats add an extra sense of high speed bling to the tuned Cayenne with their carbon fiber backrests and red carbon look padding. No matter where you look on the inside of ENCO’s new Porsche all you can see is a red carbon fiber weave. The space age material is used everywhere from the dashboard, steering wheel and center console to the fabric that lines the door cards. As an added bonus, everything including the roll cage has been covered with racy red accents.

The crazy car guys at Gemballa are at it again, having one upped their previous GT 600 tuning package for the powerful Porsche Cayenne Turbo->. This time Gemballa is calling the modified ride GT 750, hinting at the boosted Cayenne’s additional 150 HP under the hood.
If you are familiar with Gemballa’s line of high performance Cayennes then the flared arches and oversized 911 Turbo style intakes in the front bumper should be immediately recognizable, however one small detail that you might overlook is that the Magic White paint on the hood hides the GT750’s large central vent that accompanies the two standard slits. The front bumper also has a pair of fog lamps cleverly hidden behind a black screen that makes them look more discreet, while the wings on either side of the unit transition nicely into the bulging front fenders. On the inside, Aero 3 Sport Exclusive is upgraded with a few fine touches like SPS bucket seats front and rear with color matching suede inserts and carbon fiber trim. The in car entertainment consists of one screen in the middle of the dash up front and a trio of flat black monitors mounted in the headrests and rear tunnel for the back seat passengers. Continuing up the rear divider is a refrigerated compartment that is perfect for keeping some bubbly on ice, after all this is the exclusive model.
The less glamorous and more function part of the new Gemballa GT 750 consists of an electronic lowering module that manipulates the stock air ride suspension to eliminate the gap between the boxed fenders the new 23 inch Gemballa racing wheels that house the Gemballa brake system. The stoppers consist of massively huge multi piston calipers both front and rear as well as cross drilled and slotted rotors all around. However under the hood lies possibly the single most important element of the GT 750, a twin turbocharged Porsche tuned V8 modified with Gemballa’s 750 HP engine kit that transforms this luxury sport utility vehicle into a fire breathing go anywhere limousine.

The wild tuners at Gemballa have just unveiled a new tuning package for the powerful Porsche Cayenne SUV. Dubbed the GT 600 AERO 3 Sport Design kit, the all new aggressive styling package transforms the look of the Cayenne from a potent all terrain sports vehicle into a pavement pounding super car slaying machine. If that bulging body suddenly appeared in our rear view mirrore our first instinct would be to change lanes.
The kit consists of a new GT style hood covered in Magic White paint with vents on either side of the bulge to let hot air escape and lower the under hood temperature. A completely new front fascia with larger air intakes, side mirrors with integrated flashers, an assortment of logos and a few Carbon Gunmetal inserts. While the inside consists of a set of SPC seats up front and a new interior design kit that makes the most of carbon fiber trim. The Gemballa rides lower to the ground thanks to an electronic lowering kit that eliminates any fender gap between the Cayenne and the 22 inch Gemballa racing wheels that house the Gemballa big brake system. Not to mention the new exhaust.
The engine has also been modified to deliver a maximum output of 600 HP @ 6400 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque. This much power makes the 0 to 60 MPH sprint last only 4.6 seconds while the tuned Cayenne can now reach a top speed of 177 MPH.

The tuning firm SpeedART has decided to go the route less traveled and tune an alternatively fueled super sports utility vehicle. What the shop now call the Titan DTR 310 started life as nothing more than a Porsche Cayenne turbo diesel that has received the highest level of the tuner’s power packages. The luxury truck comes from the factory with a 3.0 Liter V6 running on advanced peanut oil, making a mere 240 HP and a rather healthy 405 lb-ft of torque.
The Titan sets itself apart from ordinary Cayenne’s with a set of stylish 22 inch rims, a larger front spoiler with additional running lights and a pair of attractive side skirts. The HID headlamps are dressed up with a set of color matched surrounds and there is also a new apron out back. The inside features upgrades like color matched gauges and a dash wrapped in suede with color complimenting stitching.
The engine upgrades are available in three flavors the first results in a peak output of 280 HP, the next 290 HP and the most potent package will net the owner 310 HP. All of the engine upgrades are based around a reprogrammed engine control unit, or ECU. However in order to get the most out of the diesel burning mill, SpeedART has added a larger turbo to break the 30 HP barrier. The fun continues with an available electronic lowering module for the air suspension or if you are old fashioned they offer a fully adjustable sport suspension.
With the entire 911 lineup receiving a facelift this year it was only a matter of time before we began to see a few new Cayennes to go under the knife. This spy photo shows that Porsche is hard at work testing out the next generation of the automaker’s sole sport utility vehicle that is set to debut sometime next year.
The exterior of the redesigned Cayenne will be strongly inspired by the new 911. It will feature a much more curvaceous and fluid exterior complete with signature Carrera hips and a tapered 911 shaped bonnet. The interior of the new Cayenne will offer a much higher sense of perceived quality, just as the German automaker is attempting with the Panamera four door sports sedan.
The changes to the new Cayenne are more than skin deep. The trucks will receive gasoline direct-injection V8 engines borrowed from the Panamera. The naturally aspirated version will put out 395 HP and a speculated 0 to 60 MPH time of around 5.0 seconds, while the turbocharged V8 will make 493 HP and be good for a quicker 0 to 60 MPH time of around 4.3 seconds. The top of the line Turbo S model will once again offer 550 HP while an electrified version will also be sold using a full parallel gas/electric hybrid system.
TopCar has just unveiled a special customization program for the Porsche Cayenne sports truck. The specialty car builders will only put together 25 units of the special edition SUV, each being built to the customer’s wishes and wearing a personal number plaque. The aggressive aero kit will fit any current generation and run owners about 45,000 Euro.
The tuning package includes an integrated aerodynamic kit, where the front of the Porsche Cayenne remains the same, but receives a set of wider fenders as well as a few impressive air inlets from Advantage GT. By doing this, the tuners have visually transformed the SUV into a coupe, however they didn’t go all the way as to incorporate a set of 911 headlights.
With the new body kit the hood, radiator guard, front bumper, side sills and rear bumper are replaced as well as the rear quarter panels and the rear door handles have been shaved. The interior comes with the most expensive leather, Alcantara, sophisticated wood as well as a few bits of carbon fiber to dress up the ambiance. The tuners have also incorporated color matched stitching and a few other decorative solutions including, among many other things, an individualized plaque with serial number on the central console.
