Porsche's Cayenne Turbo S: 550hp, don't mention the emissions

Newswheel staff :: 21 April 2008 :: Filed under SUV, Porsche Cayenne

Portly, awkward, VW-derived and philosophically dubious for a car with a Porsche badge. It isn’t hard to think of excuses to deride Porsche’s money-spinning ute. But a lack of power doesn’t really factor. That’s especially true with the environmental lobby tightening the noose. So kudos to Porsche for metaphorically flicking the bird to good sense and delivering unto us the new uprated Cayenne Turbo S…

Porsche buffs Cayenne, adds direct injection

The Cayenne SUV. Not known for its beauty, perhaps, but still recognisably Porsche. Or at least it was until yesterday when the Stuttgart-based sports car specialist wheeled out this face-lifted model, four years after the original mud-plugging Porker hit the road…

Porsche’s US sales division has opted not to bother with a 2007 model year update for the Cayenne SUV. Dealers will continue to sell the 2006 variant until the facelifted 2008 Cayenne arrives early next year. Of course, this probably says as much about the rather contrived model year system in the US as it does about flagging Cayenne sales…

Product placement false alarm

Blatant product placement? Metaphorical use of the motor car as social commentary? Or just a TV show about a fat, insecure, homicidal maniac who bought his wife a new car? In the recent season opener of the Sopranos, mafia family patriarch Tony Soprano wheeled out a new Porsche Cayenne Turbo for his wife Carmela. Cue condescending finger-wagging for shameful product placement…

First drive: Porsche Cayenne Turbo S

Newswheel staff :: 17 February 2006 :: Filed under SUV, Porsche, Porsche Cayenne, Europe & UK, US,

Tricky car to rate, the Cayenne. It’s either proof that Porsche has sold out on its sports car heritage or the key to the company’s long term survival as an independent outfit. Still, with Porsche currently reckoned to be the most profitable car company on planet Earth, two things are for sure. The Cayenne clearly makes financial sense. And Wendelin Wiedeking and the boys at Porsche HQ probably know what they are doing.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo S

A 4.5-litre, twin-turbo, 450bhp off-roader is not enough for people. Apparently, what they really want is a 4.5-litre, twin-turbo 521bhp off-roader. And who is Porsche to deny them. Make way for the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S.

Cayenne collapse?

Newswheel staff :: 21 November 2005 :: Filed under Four wheel drive, SUV, Porsche, Porsche Cayenne, US

When Porsche originally took the wraps off the Cayenne SUV, fans of the German sports car brand unleashed a collective vomit. But as news of the model’s success spread, most accepted that if the Cayenne was making plenty of moolah (and thereby helping to secure the success and independence of Porsche in the long run) it perhaps wasn’t such a bad idea. But what if the Cayenne wasn’t a smash hit after all…

Cayenne takes it on the nose

In a less than astonishing turn of events, prototypes of a facelifted Porsche Cayenne have been caught plying highways and byways of Bavaria.
