A high-performance model based on the Cayenne S, the first-generation Cayenne GTS was launched in 2008 featuring Turbo-derived bumpers, a roof spoiler, Alcantara interior upholstery, lowered PASM sport suspension, a sport exhaust system, 21” wheels, and a revised 4.8-liter V8 producing over 400 HP. This 2008 example is finished in Nordic Gold Metallic over a black leather interior and features optional heated seats and steering wheel, bi-xenon headlamps, variable-assist power steering, an enlarged spoiler, Porsche Communication Management (PCM), and a 6-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission. Sold new from Porsche Downtown Los Angeles before being exported to Hong Kong in 2011, this Cayenne GTS returned to the U.S. in 2022 and is now being offered for auction out of New Jersey with approximately 32k miles showing on the odometer.
This Cayenne is finished in Nordic Gold Metallic and as a GTS model comes standard with Turbo-style bumpers, side skirts, wheel-arch moldings, polished quad exhaust tips, red brake calipers, and 21” Cayenne Sport wheels. It was also factory-equipped with optional bi-xenon headlamps and an extended roof spoiler. The wheels are mounted with mixed manufacturer tires dated between 2022 and 2023. The rear bumper has been recently refinished, although a crack is present on the lower portion. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is appointed with black leather and Alcantara upholstery complemented by aluminum-look trim pieces. Accessories include a heated three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, heated and power-adjustable front seats with memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a moonroof, roll-up side window shades, and Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with Bluetooth and navigation. A lower part of the driver’s door armrest is detached, some imperfections are noted on the shifter trim, and wear is present on the seat bolsters. The seller adds that an error message appears on the dashboard for the automatic headlamps, although the lights work as intended.
The Cayenne GTS is equipped with a naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8 engine featuring a revised intake manifold and ECU programming for an output of 405 HP and 369 lb.-ft of torque. All four wheels are driven through a 6-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission with a dual-range transfer case and variable center differential. The GTS offers a shorter final drive ratio than the Cayenne S and comes standard with a lowered PASM sport suspension, sport exhaust, and internally vented brakes measuring 350mm in diameter at the front. Service completed in 2024 is said to have included a new thermostat, purge valve, and leak detection pump.
This sale will include owner’s manuals and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “Not only is this one of the lowest mileage examples you will find anywhere but it is also finished in Nordic Gold which is super rare and looks incredible! The original owner moved to Hong Kong for work and took all his cars with him. The issue was they would not allow him to drive the car on the roads of Hong Kong due to some sort of regulation. As such, the vehicle remained at a controlled facility for years in Hong Kong until the owner moved back to the US and brought the car with him. It's serviced up and runs/drives incredibly. The message for the headlight is due to one of the headlights having at one time been replaced. Our tech was unable to program the headlight. The bulb illuminates without issue however the turn function appears to be what the issue is.”

About 3.5 hours to go! To anyone wanting to own what is without a doubt one of the most unique low mileage GTS's left out there this is your chance. A stunning color combination, and a power plant that is unlike we will ever see again. 4.8 liter naturally aspirated V8 produces tons of power and sounds awesome while doing so!

@Vanatgeauto Thanks. But First oil change was 15k miles, Second 25k. It was driven. A good indie Porsche mechanic will corroborate that oil change intervals are related to bore scoring. Its simply an increased risk.
@JoeLA the car is being sold as it is. The headlight is due to the headlight having once been replaced and the module not operating properly. The light illuminates perfectly. Regarding oil changes, if the car was driven much without oil changes, maybe, but it was not driven. This car only has 32k miles. I have been selling these and the V6's that people claim also can have bore scoring issues. The amount that actually do is an incredibly small fraction and would honestly be the least of my concerns when looking at one. The rear bumper we can attempt to heat and refinish the bottom of the bumper.
Also, the cracked rear bumper cover and headlight issues are not small matters. Vantage, maybe get these sorted beforehand?
Love this color. Looking for a Cayenne GTS. But this looks rough in so many ways for the mileage. And the oil change history on the carfax doesn't look good for bore scoring risks.
@Elacho88 this car is in New Jersey, if you are located internationally then you would need to contact your country's customs dept.
Is there any importing fees ?

Hi @Phardie1 the seats are not at all beat up. The centers on the GTS are alcantera and the material is not all brushed in the same direction giving it a "worn" look in the images. Regarding the coolant tubes we have no record of such.
Bid in the amount of $911
Have the plastic coolant tubes been replaced? They are notorious about cracking. Also, why are the seats so roughed up? For 32k miles they look beat up
Welcome all to the auction of this super low mileage 2008 Cayenne GTS! With only 32k miles and finished in Nordic Gold this is without a doubt one of the best examples left out there. With it’s 4.8 liter naturally aspirated V8 the drive is nothing short of awesome…same goes for the sound!
As you will see on the Carfax this car was shipped to Hong Kong for a number of years. It was literally parked there for the most part. I was told a pretty elaborate story but it came down to the owner at the time having exported a ton of cars to HK when he moved there and some sort of tax issue arising. He remained the owner of the car and upon moving back to the US brought the vehicle with him.
It was completely serviced and runs/drives perfectly.
The body and interior are both in beautiful condition. One small chip on the rear bumper that did no warrant having it replaced.
The “warning” light on the dash is on due to a headlight malfunction. The headlight lights up properly. It does not move side to side with turning. Does not affect the light projected etc and should no stop anyone from wanting to own this awesome Cayenne!
No smoke or other odors of any kind.
This is one of those incredibly special cars that do not come around often. To anyone wanting to own one of the best looking low mileage NA V8 GTS’s left on the planet, this is your chance!
