When we see the pictures it’s clear that Porsche wants to built an SUV to compete with the upcoming Audi Q5 and the Mercedes-Benz GLK. Question are, will Porsche also offer smaller engine SUV’s? And when will they officially announce it? What is for sure, is that this baby Cayenne will be a hit on the market. A name isn’t confirmed yet, but what we got sofar is, Porsche Roxster. Most likely it will not be called that way but we have to start somewhere.

The guys at SpeedART have obviously come to the decision that the latest performance variant of the 997 911, the GT2, is underpowered and have taken it upon themselves to fix this small problem.

This beast now produces 650 bhp and 634 Nm of torque, propelling the BTR- XS 650 to 62mph (100kmh) in 3.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 216 mph (345 kmh).
