ENCO GLADIATOR 700 GT TURNS CAYENNE INTO HOT PEPPER



Porsche’s Cayenne SUV overtook the 911 as the company’s biggest selling vehicle a long time ago, thus spelling the end of Porsche as an exclusive sports car maker. Since then tuners left right and centre have made their own interpretations of what a Cayenne ought to be and ENCO Exklusive is on that list.

Last year ENCO built the ENCO 550 GT which gave out 405kW. They’ve increased that for this ENCO Gladiator 700 GT Biturbo to a massive 515kW and 850Nm which is of course sent to all four wheels through the AWD system. The 0 – 100km/h time is said to be 4.5 seconds while top speed comes in at 290km/h. You’d have to take it to the Karoo to prove that.

Red and black are the chosen theme colours and can be seen outside on the 23-inch wheels. The inside as well is covered in these colours especially the red carbon fibre on the centre console, steering wheel and other areas. Check the four bucket seats from the 911 GT3. And the red roll cage. Ominous it is, even though they might be needed.
