Tired of your watch and luggage not matching your vehicle of choice?  Porsche has the answer for you with their new Porsche Design Edition of the 2010 Cayenne GTS.  The Cayenne PDE 3 features a Lava Grey exterior with special black stripes and blacked out headlamp housings.  B and C-pillars also get the blacked out treatment along with the window surrounds and door handles.  On the inside, the Cayenne PDE3 features an exclusive black leather interior with contrasting red stitching throughout along with an alcantara headliner, center console, and seat centers.    

Of course, this wouldn’t be a Porsche Design Edition without throwing in some cool accessories to go with the Cayenne.  For this third Porsche Design Edition, Porsche will be throwing in a matching four-piece luggage set as well as a Porsche Design Type P’6612 chronograph watch.

Limited to just 100 units, this special edition of the Cayenne will go on sale in the U.S. the second half of 2009 with an MSRP of $89,900.

Props go out to our good friend, “The Big Dog”, who made this possible by opening his wallet just a little farther than was prudent. With the keys in hand, we immediately set out to do what Porsche designed the Cayenne specifically to do: namely, haul some parts for our Neon ACR race car.
