The GTS is still powered by the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine; however, it has been tweaked to produce 40bhp and 40Nm more than before. The current peak power and torque figures stand at 493bhp and 660Nm, respectively. Additionally, the 8-speed automatic transmission has been updated to offer faster shifts, especially in the Sport and Sport Plus drive modes. With Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus now standard on the GTS, the suspension system has also received an upgrade for the 2024 model, with adaptive air suspension. To enhance handling and agility, the SUV also gets a new axle pivot bearing for the front suspension, borrowed from the Cayenne Turbo GT.
