Porsche and Capcom Bring Cayenne Turbo GT to Resident Evil Requiem

Porsche Newsroom details the Cayenne Turbo GT’s role in Resident Evil Requiem via a Capcom partnership, plus the debut of a one-off show car and short film. Discover the story.

Porsche is expanding its presence in pop culture — this time through the world of video games. The company has announced a partnership with Capcom that brings the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT into the new installment of the iconic franchise, Resident Evil™ Requiem. The game launches on February 27, 2026 for PC and consoles.

At the center of the story is Leon S. Kennedy, one of the series’ most recognizable characters, who first appeared in Resident Evil 2 in 1998. In the new chapter, he once again finds himself at the heart of a dangerous investigation — and the Cayenne Turbo GT becomes his vehicle of choice. The selection is deliberate: the most performance-focused member of the Cayenne family features a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine producing 640 PS and 850 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 300 km/h. Porsche positions it as an extreme, performance-oriented four-seat Cayenne Coupé.

The collaboration extends beyond the digital realm. Porsche and Capcom have created a one-of-a-kind Cayenne Turbo GT show car equipped with specially developed add-on components designed jointly by both teams. The vehicle made its public debut on February 19 in Los Angeles. It also appears in a short film produced by Porsche and Capcom, starring Nick Apostolides, the voice and motion capture actor behind Leon. The film premiered on February 20 on the official Resident Evil YouTube channel.

Porsche’s integration into a major gaming franchise follows a broader digital strategy. The brand previously collaborated with Overwatch 2 and continues to invest in esports through its factory team initiatives. Unlike traditional racing simulations, Resident Evil belongs to the survival-horror genre, making the appearance of a high-performance SUV in this context a more unexpected and visually striking move.

An additional detail concerns market availability. The Cayenne Turbo GT is not offered in several regions, including Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, India, Taiwan and Singapore, due to existing emissions regulations. As a result, the model remains focused primarily on selected markets.

The Resident Evil franchise, active for nearly three decades, has surpassed 150 million copies sold worldwide and stands as one of the most influential series in the survival-horror genre. Against this backdrop, the collaboration illustrates how automotive brands are increasingly integrating into global cultural platforms, expanding beyond traditional marketing formats and strengthening their presence within digital entertainment.
