Porsche has announced special editions of its Cayenne SUV. Porsche has christened it as the Platinum Edition and it'll be available in both the petrol and diesel variants but what the company has managed to do is make it look different and extra special. Mind you, the Platinum Edition badge has always been offered on selected models and is up for grabs only for a limited period of time. The Cayenne Platinum Edition in its petrol avatar comes priced at Rs. 1.06 crore while the diesel is priced at Rs. 1.08 crore (ex-showroom Maharashtra)

The Cayenne Platinum Edition gets special treatment too. While the proportions remain the same, there are a few touches that make it a bit different. Things like large 20-inch wheels in the RS Spyder design, housed in wider wheel arches and the cabin too gets leather sport seats with electric eight-way adjustment, Alcantara centre panels and the Porsche crest on all headrests.

Besides this the Cayenne Platinum Edition also features the latest generation Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system with a seven-inch touchscreen, navigation and Connect Plus module with Apple CarPlay, a BOSE Surround Sound system as well as a stylish analogue clock integrated in the dashboard.

Standard equipment in the Cayenne Platinum Edition models include bi-xenon headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), power steering plus and ParkAssist in the front and rear. The two models feature rear-view and exterior mirrors with an automatic anti-glare feature. There's also adaptive air suspension including Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), panoramic sunroof, Bluetooth/mobile phone preparation, 4-zone climate control and electrical sun blinds for side windows in the rear on offer.Porshce Cayenne Platinum Edition Rear

Pavan Shetty, Director of Porsche India, said, "The Cayenne Platinum Edition is a thrilling four-door sports car with purposefully selected materials for an even greater sense of style. The comprehensive range of standard equipment and eye-catching details makes this premium model a truly attractive offering for our enthusiasts."

Both models are available in a range of standard colours, such as non-metallic black or white, Jet Black Metallic, Rhodium Silver Metallic, Mahogany Metallic, Carrera White Metallic. Those wanting to opt for the Purpurite Metallic colour can do so as it's available as an option. The wider wheel arches are also finished in the chosen exterior colour.

There are no changes under the hood as the petrol comes powered by a 3.6-litre V6 which delivers 300bhp while there's a 3.0-litre V6 diesel which is capable of churning out 245bhp. The new models are available for order now, with deliveries set to commence in August 2016.
