With a name like "Cayenne" it was bound to happen eventually. This fall, Porsche is turning up the heat for enthusiasts across Canada. Book a test drive of the iconic Cayenne at select Porsche Centres, and you’ll leave with more than just the thrill of the drive – you’ll score a limited-edition hot sauce, specially crafted to reflect the essence of Porsche’s dynamic SUV. But act fast, these sauces are available only while supplies last.
Since its debut in 2002, the Porsche Cayenne has continually pushed boundaries, redefining what an SUV can be. Blending utility with performance, this model has shaped the segment and consistently been one of the brand’s top sellers. With every new generation, the Cayenne has evolved - getting bolder, more capable, and yes, spicier.
Now, that Cayenne "spice" takes on a literal form, in the form of a lineup of exclusive hot sauces that mirror the personality of the Cayenne’s various trims. The “Original” sauce brings a sweet and garlicky heat, echoing the versatility and balance of the base model. The “Cayenne S” ups the ante with a punchy blend of cayenne peppers, mango, and pineapple, a nod to the model’s enhanced performance.
For those intrigued by Porsche’s electrified models, two E-Hybrid-inspired sauces introduce a refreshing blend of apples, green cayenne peppers, ginger, and jalapeño. Meanwhile, the high-performance “GTS” and “Turbo GT” sauces turn up the intensity. The “GTS” delivers bold black cherry notes with a three-pepper kick, while the “Turbo GT” takes it up another notch with smoky chipotle and fiery ghost peppers, evoking the power and precision of the top-tier Cayenne models.
These sauces were born from the Cayenne Taste Drive, an event Porsche held to celebrate the model’s blend of power and agility. Participants navigated a custom skills course featuring slaloms, hill descents, and other driving challenges, guided by Porsche-certified instructors. Their performance was translated into a personalized Scoville rating, resulting in bespoke hot sauces that matched their driving prowess.
The Cayenne Taste Drive and its custom sauces are part of Porsche’s commitment to delivering immersive experiences that go beyond the road. While this event was invite-only, Porsche fans can still dive into the brand’s world through various Porsche Experiences like Track Experience and Ice Experience. And soon, the new Porsche Experience Centre in Toronto will open its doors, offering even more ways to engage with the Porsche lifestyle in Canada.
