Frankfurt Auto Show 2007 has changed everything and Toyota presented a car, whose motto is: “Think small!” The new Toyota IQ will hit the markets of such countries as: Russia, Brazil and China.

So, it was a small introduction, before unveiling the curtain of mystery about the New Porsche Cayenne S model called the GTS. First of all, let’s make it clear, new Porsche is just a sport version of the existing Cayenne S model. At the Frankfurt Motor Show it was given a name the GTS. So, what made this car a sport one? Namely, new driving aids: Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), anti-roll system, air and electronically-controlled suspension. Moreover, Cayenne lowers by 24mm (previously, it was exceptionally the prerogative of sport cars). It looks like a sport car made for a city driving. Price will start from £54,350 and this car will be available from February 2008 (mainly in the UK and in Ireland) and in Germany it will cost not less than 76,725 Euros.
