Basic information and history
For the 2008 model year, Porsche revived the GTS model name from the 928 to find a market between the Cayenne S and the Cayenne Turbo. The Cayenne GTS belongs to the updated 957 generation and combines a tuned 4.8-liter V8 without supercharging (mounted 24 mm lower than in the Cayenne S) with a more focused chassis setup – the first Cayenne to receive PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management). The GTS was the model for those who wanted sharper steering feel, more presence in the chassis and a more direct driving feel. In manual 6-speed configuration, the model is particularly sought after among connoisseurs because only 473 were produced in total !
This example is a 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS with the rare 6-speed manual transmission. According to the seller, it was imported from Germany in 2013. The current odometer reading is 185,121 km and the seller states that the odometer reading can be guaranteed. The seller emphasizes that the manual GTS is rare and mentions that only about 134 cars were built with this drivetrain combination, according to the seller. The car is delivered with 1 key .
According to the seller, the car runs well in terms of engine and gearbox, and the air conditioning cools as it should. The car was inspected with a passing result in 2025.

Finns det en video med ljud så man hör motor ljudet?
Jag tänker på borscor problem med dessa årsmodeller
Hej,
tyvärr har jag ingen video så man hör motorljudet,
Motorn har nyligen renoverats och har testats och fungerar bra. Inga felkoder.
Hi, I’m interested in your 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS and had a quick question.
I’m aware that this particular model is known to sometimes suffer from a mechanical issue called bore scoring, especially in colder climates. It affects the cylinder walls and can lead to engine damage over time.
Could you please let me know:
If the engine has ever been inspected for bore scoring?
If there are any symptoms present, such as ticking noises from the engine (especially on cold starts), increased oil consumption, or reduced performance?
I’m asking just to be sure, as I know this issue can be costly to repair if left unchecked. Thanks in advance!
Here is a link to a video of the engine running: https://youtube.com/shorts/b_LwhI9Z8Go?feature=share
