From the Porsche family comes the fastest SUV, the Cayenne Turbo GT. It will only be offered as a Coupé, and should go on sale in early September.

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT differs from its siblings by a new grille with larger side suction cups for better engine cooling, a wider rear spoiler, new carbon fiber roof spoiler elements, titanium exhaust pipes mounted in the center, and an adaptive suspension tuned for cornering enthusiasts. .

Inside, eight-way sport seats in the front and two rear seats are upholstered in Alcantara with seams in Neodyme or Arctic Gray. There are “Turbo-GT” designations on the headrests. There is also the next generation of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with improved functionality.

Under the hood is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 631 hp and 626 lb-ft of torque. It’s a boost of 90 hp and 59 lb-ft of torque, compared to the Cayenne Turbo Coupe. It reaches 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 186 mph (300 km / h). The engine is paired with a modified 8-speed automatic transmission.

The Turbo GT is mounted on 22-inch wheels with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires. The front (17.32 inches) and rear (16.14 inches) carbon-ceramic brakes ensure successful stopping.

The BMW i3 is leaving the US market

BMW announced that it will stop production of the Model i3 for the American market from July.

One of the first purpose-built cars and a pioneer in the use of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics and aluminum, it did not achieve the sales expected in the US. Since 2015, sales of this model have been gradually declining, so that in 2020, slightly more than 1,500 units were sold.

“The success of the BMW i3 and the experience gained in developing and manufacturing it have laid the groundwork for the next generation of BMW electric vehicles – the fully electric BMW iX Sports Activity Vehicle and the BMW i4 Gran Coupe, both of which arrive in the U.S. early next year,” BMW said in a statement.

This does not mean that BMW will reduce supply in the US. From next year, the i3 will be replaced by the BMW i4 eDrive40 with a more powerful electric motor.

The BMW i4 will be powered by an electric motor with an 83.9 kWh battery and a range of 300 miles, which will produce 335 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. The BMW i4 will reach 62 mph in 5.7 seconds with a top speed of 118 mph.
