<strong>The</strong> seduction of function: the new<br />
Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3.<br />
We generally want everyday objects to function<br />
– nothing more. But shouldn’t they also touch our<br />
emotions? In 1963, Professor Ferdinand Alexander<br />
Porsche – son of company founder Ferry Porsche<br />
– launched the 911 as a loud and clear affirmative:<br />
Yes, they should. When he founded the Porsche<br />
Design Studio in 1972, his aim was to trans<strong>for</strong>m<br />
the everyday into the exceptional. And the new<br />
Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3, in a strictly<br />
limited edition of 1,000, does just that.<br />
At Porsche Design, we also have our dreams. And<br />
they may not be so different from yours. For example,<br />
when they’re about a Cayenne with genuine rarity<br />
value: the Cayenne GTS Porsche Design Edition 3.<br />
In Lava Grey Metallic finish, to enhance the sporty<br />
elegance of its design.<br />
<strong>The</strong> front is dominated by the new Bi-Xenon<br />
headlights in Black. In the standard SportDesign<br />
package, every part of the vehicle is seamlessly<br />
complementary down to the last detail: the lower<br />
mouldings of the front apron and rear base and the<br />
sill trims are matched to the exterior colour, as is<br />
the extended roof spoiler with integral third brake<br />
light, available as a no-cost option.<br />
<strong>The</strong> standard Black exterior package takes this<br />
colour concept, as consistent as it is elegant, to<br />
the limit, continuing the black finish through the side<br />
window surrounds (including B and C-pillar trim),<br />
door handles (excluding inlays) and door-sill trim<br />
strips.<br />
In the language of the Porsche Design Edition,<br />
design stripes are a recurring idiom: the name of the<br />
edition appears on the sides of the Cayenne GTS<br />
Porsche Design Edition 3, while the bonnet features<br />
the Porsche Design name and the rear displays the<br />
model logo in black with red “S”.<br />
Also finished in Lava Grey Metallic, the standard<br />
21-inch Cayenne SportPlus wheels with wheel arch<br />
extensions seamlessly blend into the design concept.<br />
<strong>The</strong> hubcaps are decorated with the full-colour<br />
Porsche crest.<br />
An interior’s most important feature<br />
is the heart that beats there.<br />
<strong>The</strong> interior of the Cayenne GTS Porsche Design<br />
Edition 3 is as exclusive as its limited-edition<br />
production run. And just as sporty.<br />
A striking yet familiar feature is the use of red<br />
contrasting seams on the cover of the instrument<br />
cluster panel, dashboard and door trims, and<br />
continuing along the floor mats and load-space mat.<br />
<strong>The</strong> exclusive black leather upholstery finish is<br />
extended on parts of the dashboard, door trim and<br />
centre console. <strong>The</strong> padded multifunctional steeringwheel<br />
brings sportiness within your grasp.<br />
<strong>The</strong> electrically adjustable sports seats in the front<br />
have the integrated Com<strong>for</strong>t Memory package and<br />
higher side wings, delivering supreme com<strong>for</strong>t and<br />
firm support. <strong>The</strong>ir headrests feature the Porsche<br />
crest.<br />
<strong>The</strong> central panels of non-slip Alcantara on the front<br />
seats and rear two-seater bench are echoed in the<br />
middle panel of the centre console arm rest, parts
