Porsche Cayenne Hybrid vs. Green Rally: A fox in the henhouse?
Wednesday, October 05, 2011
If we asked you to make a list of green vehicles, we're pretty sure very few of you would dare slip an SUV in there. After all, the brutes are generally perceived as the devil incarnate, having carved out an unenviable reputation for themselves over the years.

2011 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid Review
Sunday, July 24, 2011
Not only has Porsche overhauled their highly-popular Cayenne SUV for 2011, they developed a full-hybrid version that can quite effectively operate on electricity alone, within set parameters. And because it's a Porsche wearing an 'S' badge, the Cayenne Hybrid delivers un-hybrid-like performance.

2011 Porsche Cayenne Turbo Review
Thursday, March 10, 2011
Some say a car or a truck can represent the extension of a man's you-know-what. I'll be in denial on that saying every time I spend a week behind the wheel of a smart fortwo or a VW New Beetle. But at the helm of a turbocharged Porsche Cayenne, I'm the man. Hey ladies, look at ME.

2003-2010 Porsche Cayenne Pre-owned
Saturday, September 18, 2010
When Porsche realized some years back that most of its owners parked their 911's and Boxsters next to a premium SUV in the garage, the German sports car maker set out to create one such model. The end result was the Cayenne-- an off-road capable 4x4 built by a brand famous for world-class, high-performance coupes.

2011 Porsche Cayenne Turbo First Impressions
Friday, August 13, 2010
Part of the perk of being an invited guest of the prestigious Stuggart-based brand is the ability to drive some of their latest, if not all or nearly, of their current product line. Having been fortunate enough to spend some considerable amount of time (although it's never enough) at the wheel of many of their most recent creations, such as the Panamera and 911 Turbo S, I concentrated on the new Cayenne.

2010 New York Autoshow: The Cayenne grows in size and stature and in power and in green...
Wednesday, March 31, 2010
The evolution of the Cayenne continues. From its controversial beginnings in 2002, the Cayenne has quickly become the performance-luxury SUV to be seen in. The second generation hot pepper is not only more powerful and faster than ever, it's actually greener, thanks to the availability of diesel and, finally, hybrid alternatives. The increasingly organic bodylines convey poise and prestige and really make the first generation truck look old...

2009 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S Review
Sunday, October 18, 2009
A sport-utility vehicle in Porsche's line-up of cars might seem like a sin, but the fact is that this year, the Cayenne is outselling the 911 as well as the Boxster and Cayman combined.

2009 Porsche Cayenne Review
Thursday, May 14, 2009
When you think of Porsche, the first few things that cross your mind are speed, style and refinement. Moreover, if I told you that I just bought a Porsche, you would immediately assume that it's the mighty 911, the distinctive Cayman or the sophisticated Boxster. Yet, over half of all Porsches sold in Canada are... SUVs.

2009 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S Review
Wednesday, February 18, 2009
There is no sane reason for sticking a twin turbo V8 into a SUV(technically a CUV because it is a car type platform), let alone add a sport option that remaps the fuel injection and boost pressure settings to produce 550 horsepower and 553 lb.ft. of torque. If you really want to justify the numbers, then you switch to horsepower to weight and here the Cayenne falls
into the same category as Hemi Roadrunners from the muscle car era of the sixties, or you could compare it to a new Z06 Corvette. I'm sure this
makes it all reasonable.

2008 Porsche Cayenne S Review
Wednesday, May 07, 2008
I was supposed to test-drive the base Cayenne with the six-cylinder engine. Unfortunately, there was none available, so the folks at Porsche offered me to try the V8-powered Cayenne S for a few days. I had previously assessed its towing capability with the 2007 model. I also spent some time behind the wheel of a 2008 unit during the media launch. However, this time around, I realized that my tester featured neither the air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) nor the brand's famous Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) that I had found so impressive. I was left with the standard Cayenne S, which retails for $72,200. How would it fare? Let's see.

2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S packs 550 ponies
Wednesday, April 23, 2008
If you've ever wanted a 550 horsepower SUV with a voracious appetite for corners, then Porsche has you covered. The luxury and performance vehicle manufacturer has just extended its Cayenne offerings with the most powerful model in the lineup- the Cayenne Turbo S. Porsche says the twin-turbocharged beast is a response to the wishes of its customers- citing demand in emerging markets for sports-style SUV's with 'top notch physical handling dynamics'. Despite feeding 50 more horses than the standard Turbo model, Porsche says that fuel mileage is identical when measured in accordance with the New European Operating Cycle methods.

Road-tuned Cayenne GTS debuts at Chicago
Thursday, January 31, 2008
Not to unleash a radical new concept, but most drivers of premium SUV's don't utilize their off-road abilities beyond the odd gravel road or slushy department store parking lot. Make no mistake though, the Porsche Cayenne was developed from its onset to be a sophisticated off-roading tool. But customers who need the space and convenience of an SUV and the handling and performance of a Porsche will soon be offered their own special model. The German automaker has announced that they will soon present a street-tuned Cayenne called the GTS at the Chicago Auto Show.

Six-speed manual and all-wheel drive for upcoming Cayenne GTS
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
The Porsche Cayenne is one of the most highly developed off-road vehicles on the planet- with legendary capability, stirring performance, and the dynamic excellence which Porsche is known for. For 2009, customers looking for an even sportier and more street-smart Cayenne will have another option, as Porsche has created a lower and more powerful GTS designated model. The dropped body carries a set of wheel-well extensions to help facilitate massive 21-inch wheels with 295/35 series tires. Revised sport seats can be found inside, and two new paint colors (Nordic Gold and GTS Red) can be found outside.

2008 Porsche Cayenne First Impressions
Monday, March 19, 2007
San Antonio and Uvalde, Texas - Despite outcries from sports car aficionados, Porsche introduced an SUV in 2003. Since then, the Cayenne has become the best-selling model in the Stuttgart-based automaker's lineup. Over 150,000 units are found all over the world, with more than half in North America. The emergence of the Russian, Chinese and Indian auto markets has increased the demand tenfold. For 2008, the Cayenne lineup remains the same. Porsche nevertheless made a few subtle changes to boost the performance once again.

2006 Porsche Cayenne S Road Test
Tuesday, November 28, 2006
The racing season is over, much to my chagrin. Porsche generously gave me a Cayenne S not only for a regular road test but also as a towing vehicle. This SUV is in fact totally deserving of the "sport utility" designation: it truly drives like a sports car and can tow heavy loads with remarkable easiness.

2005 Porsche Cayenne V6 Road Test
Friday, April 08, 2005
It's a sure sign of the times that not only does a 'fastest SUV on the planet' title actually exists, but also that high-end automobile manufacturers are falling all over themselves to claim it. A decade or so ago the only trucks on a Porsche, BMW or Mercedes lot were the ones delivering parts through the back door. Today, trucks share the showroom with sleek sports cars and in many cases command the same sticker price.

There are vehicles a person buys because of needs, and then there are vehicles a person buys because they just can't help themselves. Flights of passion are what Porsche cars and now, SUVs are all about. While some have lambasted the legendary brand for entering the sport utility segment, others recognize Porsche's need to expand its marketshare overall, and increase its bottom line so that it can continue building sports cars.

2004 Porsche Cayenne Road Test
Tuesday, April 29, 2003
If Porsche had launched an SUV in the 1980s everyone would have thought it was a positive, novel idea. After all, the audacious Lamborghini LM002, what many still consider the world's ultimate 'sport' utility, proved that exotic car manufacturers can play in the 4x4 game. Porsche, with its Paris Dakar winning 911 and 959, would have been the perfect candidate for a larger race truck.
