ENCO Gladiator 700 GT Biturbo Based on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo

After the ENCO 550 GT Biturbo with 405kW (550hp), tuning firm ENCO has introduced its latest confection - ENCO Gladiator 700 GT Biturbo which is based on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

Thanks to larger turbos, sport catalytic convertors, an ENCO-designed sport exhaust system with manifolds and other modifications, the power is greatly improved. The ride height of the ENCO Gladiator 700 GT Biturbo Porsche Cayenne has also been lowered by 50mm. The result is an output of 700hp (515kW) with 850Nm of torque sent to all four wheels. With that power, the vehicle can spring from 0 to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds while top speed reaches 290km/h. It’s impressive that these figures are coming from a 2.5-ton SUV.

Stopping power comes from 410mmx36mm brake disks and 12-piston calipers up front and 380mmx32mm disks with 4-piston calipers at the rear.

As for the styling, ENCO offers an exterior kit that consists of daytime running lights, a front apron, a carbonfiber bonnet, a roof spoiler with air flow openings and side skirts. The ENCO Gladiator 700 GT Biturbo rides on a set of 315/25R23 Dunlop Sport Maxx GT tires, featuring black and red ENCO Jura alloy rims.

Inside, there are four carbon fiber race seats (from the 911 GT3) covered in leather/Alcantara and a roll cage. The black and red theme is continued inside, such as carbon fibre fittings on the centre console, door lining and steering wheel.
