What a silly statement, nobody needs this sort of car, any more than they need a 5 series when a Mondeo will do the same job

Why would anyone in their right mind need transport their sheepdog at 170mph?

'Cause it would be fun to see him stick his hairy head out the window at that speed.

The Cayenne Turbo is the most amazing two fingers up at the 'establishment' and Gordon Fcensoreding Brown that exists on this planet... a bloody hoot to drive and makes me smile everytime I get behind the wheel of one....

This new Cayenne is awsome. I had the luck of being able to drive one yesterday, and gave it a good old thrashing, and it whips the pants off of the old one. The PDCC function on it is really that good. Although it doesn`t really noticeably pull any harder than the Powerkitted previous one, but the whole package together is fantastic. Nice one Porsche (even if i am a little bias!)

The only reason that could ever make me consider buying one. Seeing the hatred of these people whilst driving by would give me a soft warm feeling indeed

Coming soon to a premiership car park near you. Absolutely no class whatsoever. £75k gives you such a wealth of options so why waste it on this? My money would be on a Quattroporte.


Well said that man! If you require 4 doors, style, pace and heritage then the Quattroporte is the only choice.
If you need to transport a sheep dog then buy a Rangerover.
If you need to do both then buy a Quattroporte and an old Defender. Why would anyone in their right mind need transport their sheepdog at 170mph?


The Maserati Fourdoor isn't the only choice, obviously - though like the Pooch it's pretty ugly too.

Mind you, if I had a sheepdog that I wanted to transport at 170+mph my only choice would be an Audi RS6+.

I love "f*ck you, f*ck you all" qualities of the big 4x4 Porsche. It's not my cup of tea, but you have to admire the technical achievement.

I think you are confused. Gordon is the chancellor. He likes it when you buy lots of fuel, as it makes his books look more balanced.

If sportscars need defending, we should argue that their Co2 emissions are cancelled out over his "economic cycle". When he stops taxing and spending, we will stop driving.

£75k and thats the best you can do? So many cool cars available and all you get is a fast 4x4 seen outside schools across the country!

Fast does not equal fun, and money doesn't mean you got taste!

The sheep dog theory sounds fun though!

Personally I would have an estate/hatchback for the shopping and a fast convertible for the enjoyable drive down to the South of France. Oh and a mountain bike for the Welsh Hill but if necessary a Land Rover Defender for that stuff. Nope, I just don't get them but each to his own eh?

The most hideous, crass and tasteless "car" money can buy. In a word, "nouveau". I'd rather walk.

A Q7 is what you need when you have kids. Loads of 'em

I'd love to see a showdown between this and the ML63 AMG, at say the Nordschliefe, conducted by, say Evo magazine, with, by way of comparison some more mainstream fast vehicles along for the ride.

I remember that when the original Cayenne Turbo came out, it matched the RS6 'ring time exactly. This new one should eclipse it with ease.

Just for my guide, how much faster are the variants of 911 vs the Cayenne Turbo round the ring?

Please ! The Cayenne might not be to everyone`s taste visually but it drives and handles like nothing else. I`ve sold a few Jeep Cherokee`s and often get given one as a hire car in the states. I`m familiar with dodge`s product line up having a ram on the fleet but couldn`t imagine Jeep thought it safe to bestow any more power to it`s cherokee.

But they have. No, honestly I kid you not. Owners of the old 4.0 litre offering will remember 12 to the gallon for absolutely nothing back by way of performance.

Prepare yourself for a real treat. But sit down and get a cushion ready to muffle the laughter.

Porsche must be quaking in their boots

Usually the type of people who dislike them haven't actually driven one yet.

How many cars do you guys know that can give Caymans a hounding on the race track then go off road with the best of them? I don't know many either.

The new Cayenne is a belter IMO. Best SUV money can buy.
