New Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (2013) arrives

Porsche has revealed the 2013 Cayenne Turbo S, the range topping Cayenne with an extra 50bhp and a £107.5k price tag. The 2013 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S has been revealed with a few subtle cosmetic changes and an extra 50bhp and 37lb/ft of torque to add to the Cayenne Turbo’s 500bhp and 516lb/ft.
