Porsche Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid GT Package: Running Shoes For Porsche's Heavy Hybrid SUV

As the new range-topping Cayenne is slower than the outgoing model, can the GT Package infuse much-needed athleticism?

The standard Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid is a hefty SUV at 5,721-pounds

The GT Package sheds over 220 pounds off the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid

But the hybrid Cayenne Turbo is still around 600 pounds heavier than the non-hybrid Cayenne Turbo GT

Power from the V-8 hybrid system remains the same at 729 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque

But almost everything else has been recalibrated compared to the standard model

Regardless of which suspension you have configured, the GT Package adds new exclusive settings for added performance

Sport Chrono and Launch control are standard features on the GT Package

GT-specific setup for the traction control, rear-axle steering and other features turn the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid into a completely different animal

The exterior is also more aggressive, featuring black trim and carbon-fiber bits

22-inch Turbo GT wheels now feature wider front tires for added feel and grip, courtesy of Pirelli P-Zero Corsa rubber

Like the exterior, the interior has been amped-up. The GT Package adds a lot of Alcantara, contrast stitchhig, and carbon fiber
