Nice vid, look at how much more the black car squats during acceleration then the red car. A real indicator of a substantial power increase.

0-60 is supposed to take ~5.5 seconds.

*Turns out that it beats a GTS MkI (9:01,9 seconds, www.autobild.de/go/x6-cayenne SUPERCARS.NET - Comprehensive Specifications, Galleries & Forums since 1996). The GTS MkII laps the ring in 8:40.

MK1 and MK2 GTS? I thought the GTS was just based on the latest Cayenne available?

The video (I posted) is pretty astonishing. It would be interesting to see a straight acceleration test - say from 0 to 130MPH - and a separate braking test down from that speed.

Interesting observation. I had noticed the squat, but wasn't sure if it was because of suspension changes or power or what. If they have managed to upgrade the interior quality (and I think they have) it will be a great rig, IMO.
