2012 Beijing Auto Show: Porsche Cayenne GTS
Not only does the Volkswagen Group dominate China by market share, it also has its own hall at the Beijing Auto Show.
The hall houses VW’s assortment of brands, including Porsche.
Today, Porsche unveiled the Cayenne GTS. It is the perfect SUV for SUV-crazed China: Over-motorized, over the top, overpriced.
It mates a slightly more powerful version of the non-turbo V8 from the Cayenne S with the styling of the Turbo. Looks like same old.
This man is responsible for the show at Porsche.
