Porsche Cayenne Turbo S review
my christmas present was a 40min drive in the Turbo S :D ,
A friend of my parents made it possible, thanks again B.! here's my review - sorry, not proper photoshooting was possible :bah: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...sc04838800.jpg a full black :love: Turbo S http://img174.imagevenue.com/loc563/..._122_563lo.jpghttp://img109.imagevenue.com/loc364/..._122_364lo.jpghttp://img154.imagevenue.com/loc302/..._122_302lo.jpg Exterior the first thing you notice are the massive 380mm brake discs :shock: I always liked the design of the Cayenne - a grown up Porsche, which kept some of the Porsche design features. The Turbo front is massive, looks powerful. The Turbo S extras like the hood, the exhaust are minor changes in the design. The Turbo rims are a must (the summer rims will be in black according to the owner, I don't know if they are completely black or like magwheel ones with a painted area) - don't like the standard ones as you see on the other pic that much - prolly only for the winter :wink: But the best thing is the full black design of this car, much better than the chrome parts around the window. http://img13.imagevenue.com/loc371/t..._122_371lo.jpg vs. http://img164.imagevenue.com/loc412/..._122_412lo.jpg Interior see magwheels review for more pics, I didn't had time to take pics. Me likes the black leather design. The seats are good, they support well - and the heating is welcome in wintertime :lol: The steering wheel is good, clear and organized dashboard. On the negative side, there's the "'Tip Buttons" to change gears on the steering wheel - useless IMO, how can you reach them and move up-/ downwards :niet: http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/6...enannta7ag.jpg How does it drive? for an SUV, it's a blast !!!!! Appraoching any regualr car from behind... looking down to him .... floor the 521 hp .... bye bye you're the King of the Road :drool: I drove a tuned (480hp) Turbo last summer but the difference is remarkable :shock: , not only by the 40+ hp, it's a totally different drive. The Porsche engieneers did an awesome job! (Driving the tuned Turbo was fun, but I had the feeling of sitting in a boat, the car's for sure heavy and the rolling of the car didn't gave me confidence or a good street contact. and this was with summer tyres.) The Turbo S however is totally different, you feel connected to the road, steering is very precise for a SUV, much less rolling. The acceleration is impressive for a 2.5t monster. The turbo lack is almost gone, endless power! :D the standard Turbo was like this: when flooring the car, first nothing happend and then Bumm - went off like a rocket :bah: :wink: Specifications 8cyl. 4.5l engine, 521hp, 720Nm http://imp.porsche.com/swiss/de/mode...ayenne-turbo-s What are the most positive features of the car? impressive handling very powerful best looking SUV Porsche quality What are the most negative features of the car? weight ( as all SUV's) fuel consumption :lol: Conclusion :love: I only drove on flat roads and in normal mode, this car is an amazing drive... IMO hard to beat for an SUV Me wants another testdrive on mountain roads :drool: |
Thanks for the review! Dang, I'd like to try out a Cayenne myself too!

or some "Teuscher Schoki" from ZH :wink: i simply love it up there off season when there´re not that many ppl around - we come back every now and then also for the uphill ride (Juliapass) from Chur to St.M - CayTT-S is quite a good choice for that wouldn´t u say ??? :wink: |
Dang, 521hp?! That is a lot of fucking power...sounds like its fun to drive, I bet its fun to buy gas for too. :P
Cool review, thanks! :D |

so back to topic: I love to drive the Julier - even in my Seat Ibiza would love to drive with the Cayenne TT-S up the pass, maybe later this year. So far I drove in the engadin valley only :wink: |
/\/\ Just the names sound great, must be awesome driving there!

:mrgreen:

nice review, thx :D this car must be a beast 8) btw personally i think especially the headlamp design of the new cayenne looks a lot better... it just looked a bit undefined on the old car...
