Techart has created a custom body kit, the Aerokit 1, for the Cayenne. The kit features a redesigned front panel, deeper front spoiler, integrated driving and fog lamps and additional cooling vents, deeper sills, a rear apron with integrated diffuser and a low drag roof spoiler.

Those who opted for Porsche's air suspension system can use Techart's unique suspension control module to lower and raise the body. Also, you get 21-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Diamaris tires, quad exhaust pipes, a three-spoke Techart sports steering wheel, aluminum pedals and custom leather trim. If that isn't enough, you can opt for 22-inch body colored wheels, a custom bonnet and piping leather trim.

The TA 055/D1power upgrade will boost the vehicle's 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine from 240hp (176kW) to 290hp (213kW) and take the torque from 550Nm to 630Nm at 2,200rpm. Also, to 500Nm of torque is available from just 1,100rpm and lasts right up until 4,000rpm. Thanks to the engine upgrades, this SUV can accelerate from 0-60mph in 7.7 seconds.

As of now, Techart has not released any info on how much these upgrades will cost or when they will be available.

German tuner, Cargraphic, has announced a new performance and visual package for the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel. For just $1,650, you will get a new ECU upgrade to boost power output from the SUV's Audi-sourced 3.0L V6 turbodiesel engine.

With the performance upgrade, your standard 240hp (179kW) and 405lb-ft (550Nm) will be boosted to 290hp (216kW) and 465lb-ft (630Nm) of torque; not bad. You can also get a new suspension upgrade for the Cayenne's air-suspension system that can adjust the vehicle's ride height for roughly $1,987.

Body modifications include a new front bumper with integrated fog lights for $2,984, a rear diffuser for $656, new fenders for $1,721, sporty side skirts for $1,405, and optional alloy wheels ranging from 20 to 22-inches for varied prices.

Not a bad setup; however, it would be nice if an all-inclusive package were offered at a discounted price.
