Limited edition SUV to commemorate success in Transsyberia Rally

The Transsyberia rally car
Porsche
is to unveil a limited edition Cayenne S Transsyberia at the Paris Show
to commemorate its success in the rally of the same name. The SUV has
dominated the Transsyberia Rally in recent years and picked up the top
six spots in this year’s race.
The road version of the Transsyberia Cayenne uses the same 405bhp
4.8-litre V8 as the Cayenne GTS which will be mated to a six-speed
manual ‘box. The final drive ratio has been dropped to 4.1:1 to give it
a 0-60mph time of 6.1 seconds – half a second quicker than the standard
Cayenne S. The six-speed auto is optional.
The car will be available in a number of colour combinations,
including the black/orange and silver/orange that features on the
Transsyberia Rally cars. They also come with 18” wheels, skid plates
and air inlets all painted in the contrasting colour to the body. No
cost options include Transsyberia side stickers.
