ENCO Exclusive tunes up the Porsche Cayenne Turbo

ENCO Exclusive had previously come up with the ENCO 550 GT Biturbo, which tuned the Cayenne to produce 550bhp, thanks to larger turbos, sport catalytic convertors, an ENCO-designed sport exhaust system with manifolds and other modifications.

Now however, the Chemnitz-based firm has upped the ante, and revealed the ENCO Gladiator 700 GT, which is based on the Cayenne Turbo. As the name suggests, the Gladiator has 700bhp, as well as 800Nm of torque sent to all four wheels. The car can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 4.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 290km/h, which is quite a feat for a 2.5 tonne SUV.

Major modifications that ENCO applied to the Gladiator include 410mmx36mm brake discs and 12-piston callipers up front and 380mmx32mm discs with 4-piston callipers at the rear, while Black and red ENCO Jura alloy rims sized 11" x 23" are fitted inside 315/25R23 Dunlop Sport Maxx GT tyres.

On the outside, the Gladiator features daytime running lights, a front apron, a carbon fibre bonnet, a roof spoiler with air flow openings and side skirts. The interior has also been given a makeover, featuringfour carbon fibre race seats taken from the 911 GT3 covered in leather/Alcantara and a roll cage. Interior carbon fibre fittings on the centre console, door lining and steering wheel complete the look.
