The Cayenne luxury performance SUV’s essence crystalizes across the range for Porsche’s newest version of its flagship people hauler.
Sometimes this job entails flying across the world to drive a new car in a picturesque location. Today is not that day. Today, we're once again standing in a nice hotel's parking garage, but this time, there's no pomp and circumstance, not a whiff of formality. Everyone's dressed in shorts and T-shirts. The cars are late-stage prototypes of, and we've been invited to drive them alongside the engineers as they set out on another round of real-world tuning and adjusting.
It's the driving experience. Whether behind the wheel of the base V-6 or the Turbo GT, each of these Porsche Cayennes drives the same. Yes, the ones with bigger engines are quicker in a straight line and pull harder out of the corners, but the way they feel, the way they drive, is inherently the same. More so than any previous generation of Cayenne, each model here drives like the one next to it, just a bit quicker or slower.
This is again impressive when you consider some of the higher trims are available with an optional rear steering system. Porsche engineers succeeded in making the system feel so natural and unobtrusive you'd be hard-pressed to identify its presence without peeking at the build sheet. The cars with it just turn even sharper than the cars without.This common thread is all a bit more understandable when you learn the electronically controlled dampers are standard on every model.
The twin-turbo V-8 in the S model is the one that's had serious work done. It's been reworked from the version that appeared in the old Turbo model, and it's fitted with new injectors. All told, it's now good for 475 hp , and just as important, it passes the latest and strictest global emissions regulations.
