The engine

4.0L Twin-Turbo V8

4.0L Twin-Turbo V8

Porsche's 4.0-liter hot-vee twin-turbo V8 gives the Cayenne and Panamera GTS and S models a deep, muscular soundtrack and savage, immediate mid-range shove.

A Porsche-developed V8 shared with Audi and Bentley within the VW Group, tuned in Stuttgart for the sharpest throttle response and the most aggressive voice of the bunch.
