Is yours fast enough? How much money do you have etc. Those front gaps in the bumper are way to big!

I know that these Gemballa conversions are not too everyones tase, but IMHO this gives the Cayenne a much tougher stance.

Ignore the performance data for a moment and look at what they have done with the bodywork mods. The arches, vents and extra weight of the kit, change the bulky lines of the standard car.

There is no doubt about the engineering and awsome capabilities of the standard car, but IMHO Porsche held back in the styling department. I think that they actually went too Audi/VW in the understated looks department.

Porsche has always been recognised for agressive styling and thats what most of us tend to like.

That shot of the dash just shows the quality of the Gemballa trim people though...compare that with the standard car!

Those Cayenne Turbos are actually really fast, i believe faster than a Boxster S around the Nurburgring.

This Gemballa one must be fing fast then!

Nice,

have always liked the KN, BUT, only really in Black.

There is a Turbo parked outside my appt, I think it belongs to a local Chauffer firm, as the bay its in usually has either a Bently Azure / Sl500 / KN in..

I agree with both the first two posters to some degree. Yes, definately the front gaps are on the large side, but I think the overall transformation is pretty effective. Even the silly big wheels don't look too bad. The only thing is thta in profile it now looks more like an estate than a 4x4, sort of like an Audi allroad. Seems to me to defeat the purpose slightly.
