First Drive:

At the world media introduction in Dubai, UAE, for the new Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Michael La Fave discovers the new 520-hp SUV has multiple personalities. "It delivers the auditory and sensory pleasure of a Porsche sports car while retaining true five-passenger comfort and peerless off-road capability," he says. But buyers will need an oil well to afford one: its base price of $157,000 can shoot up to $200K with options, he says.      More...

After driven a Cayenne Turbo, I can imagine how crazy the performance of an "S" version.

Truly an excess vehicle for the rich and rich.  I saw one in our neighbourhood grocery store doing what it does best.  Car seat out back, sitting in front of the store idling while the wife was inside picking up a few things.  It has presence.....

Yeah like a huge guppy with its mouth open idling outside a big box store.

too bad the owner doesn't have the presence of mind to keep the car more secure..

idling $150000 car + thieve = joy ride for baby.

Cayenne Turbo S = most powerful vehicle (mass production) ever produced by Porsche   

Vroum! ... rraaaaa rrraaaaaa   RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA  ... Cough cough! Empty? 

[quadzilla]

Why is half the article not about the Porsche and the half that is really doesn't say much about it? 

Anyway....I actually like the looks of Cayenne and would love to drive one.  Would never buy one because I have other Porsches that I prefer to own plus I'm not really a SUV type. 

[safristi]

Think of all the money you will save being first to the grocery store fer the "SPECIALS"....... ....a REAL caring DAD/MOM would buy a turbo 911 and not em_BARE_ASS Junior.........

Fully loaded at $200K? Even if I won the lottery I would not consider this vehicle. Not for me.

[robarakira]

I as well...

I found it actually quite cramped inside compared to it's competitors.

I agree, the interior especially the rear is quite cramped, my murano has way more room.

that engine mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[tuky]

it's kind of obvious that 2.7t vehicle can accelerate like crazy with 520hp [assuming that usual C TS have few more hp]; but just btw: at vmax fuel consumption is over 60l/100km (98 octan EU)

// not bad assuming 612hp MB G Brabus with 70-80l/100km average if driven hard

Let's be honest...  you don't buy the Cayanne Turbo S based on its interior space, or whether it will get 50 mpg.  You buy it because when you stomp the gas pedal, you're leaving 98% of the cars on the road behind you.  Waaaaay behind you.

I have to disagree with you, you buy the Cayenne Turbo S b/c your next door neighbour has the Cayenne Turbo and you want to be better, or b/c someone else you know has a Turbo or a Range Rover and you want the baddest SUV (ie: most expensive) on the block
