700hp Cayenne Turbo

My friend is interested to mod his Turbo to Gemballa 700hp, does he need a new motor? Or is there any other way to increase the hp?

Does anyone know the cost of this mod? Also, what kind of 0-60 speed do you get with 700 hp?

No you do not need a new motor to reach 700bhp but the gearbox has to be modified.The max we take the Cayenne to is 650Hp.because of the gearbox

Hey Deetz,

We tested a few 650-675 HP Cayenne's in Germany and while the platform is a natural to acheive those levels, Neil is correct,the Gearbox and even the bottom end has been suspect regarding reliability. That being said Cargraphic and a few other companies are already offerig Bolt on kits that range between 525HP and 570 HP reliably. The big tuners in Europe are also working feverishly in order to strengthen the weaker points of the Cayenne. I imagine in the next year or so we may see reliable power levels of 700-800 HP
