Geneva Car Show Special: Porsche Cayenne

Not long ago, Porsche introduced its first four-door car. The avid Porsche fans didn't like it much, but the rest of the people did. It is the dream car of many people, both rich and poor. The old generation was built on the Touareg's platform, and so is this one, but on the new Touareg's platform instead.

This new generation has new engines, a new platform and new fit'n'finish. Basically, an all-new model. The base model (Cayenne) comes with a V6 engine with 300hp, the higher model (Cayenne S) comes with a V8 engine, delivering 400hp. The higher model (Cayenne Turbo) comes with the same V8 as the Cayenne S, but with two turbochargers instead.

The Cayenne S Hybrid comes with the same V6 engine as the entry model, but with 333hp, and an additional electric engine, delivering a total of 375hp. Prices, in Germany, start from €46,400 for the Cayenne version, and can go all the way up to €96,900 for the Cayenne Turbo trim level.

André's Opinion

I always wanted to have a Cayenne. But even when I lived in Europe, we weren't able to, because it is too expensive. The new generation isn't any cheaper, and to make it worse, at least in my opinion, the rear end looks absolutely horrible!
