ATLANTA--Porsche will add some spice to the Toronto Auto Show by unveiling the Cayenne GTS to the Canadian public. Already known for exceptional on and off-road prowess, the GTS has been formulated, tested and tweaked to offer the best on-road characteristics of any Cayenne Porsche has ever produced. Porsche reveals the car at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, February 13, at a press conference at the Toronto Auto Show.

The Cayenne GTS features a 405hp 4.8 liter V-8 engine. Based on the same V8 found in the Cayenne S, this more robust powerplant can be coupled either with an automatic Tiptronic S or, for the first time in a Cayenne V8, a six-speed manual transmission for those who want to take full advantage of this new power and suspension package.

The Cayenne GTS front end is reminiscent of the Cayenne Turbo while the body has a lower stance and a striking new wheel-arch design that complements the new 21-inch rims. The interior boasts sportier redesigned front and rear seats.

The 2008 Cayenne GTS goes on sale later this month in Canada and pricing for this new model is CAN $86,100.
