TechArt Cayenne Diesel

TechArt has plan to introduce a new tuning package for the Porsche Cayenne Diesel. The tuning package for the diesel Cayenne doesn't offer anything in terms of added horsepower. Dubbed Aerokit I, the new styling package consists of a variety of TechArt parts which help to give the Cayenne Diesel a more aggressive and sporting appearance. A new front spoiler, aerodynamic side sills, a discrete roof spoiler, a new rear apron which features an integrated diffuser, and double oval exhaust pipes. The styling package also features some minor interior touches such as a new sports steering wheel and aluminum pedals.

A set of 10.0 x 21 ET 57 Formula metal alloy rims with 295/35 R21 Continental tires or body-color 10.0 x 22 ET 55 rims which also feature Continental rubber. The lowered sports suspension should ensure that they fill up the wheel-wells quite nicely.
