Porsche Cayenne Turbo (Mk II) specs

That's why SUVs will never be the best driving machines. Fact

not to mention the slow and non-reactive manual shifting mode that really pissed me off. Not even a double clutch in for those 160k. Honestly, they can stick that carbon interior touches and alcantara up theirs..

sorry to dissappoint, but drove this car for a while now and whoever drove it too will agree that in any mode (incl. all Sports Buttons on with PSM off):

• Turbo lag is massive
• heavy piece of asss . non ceramic breaks in my case had a slow reaction time
• engine sound sucks for an 8 cylinder that size
• steering not precise for a claimed sports SUV
• lots of understeering cause of that same heavy big asss

for that Money and for the claims they made more of a girls SUV and HEAVILY overrated

Any car that sprints to 200 kph in under 20 seconds is fast. But for an SUV, it's hyperfast!

The new Cayenne Turbo 2015, expect a lap time of under 8 minutes on Nordschleife.

I suppose I will have to clarify that I mean the US MY when talking about a specific car year.

well, fastestlaps.com use the year of introduction to avoid model year conflict between regions ..

the model year is just an advertising term...

I'm aware. I was just giving the model year.

I was "corrected" and so I further explained myself.

Whenever I talk about a car, I always use the model year. It appears some do not think similarly.

there's always a difference between "Year of introduction" and "model year"

I don't know about Europe, but the earliest Cayenne you can buy in the US is a 2003.

Also, it appears Porsche didn't sell the cayenne in the US in 2007.

SO, what you say about the Cayenne might be true for Europe Georg, but in the US, the face-lift was in 2008 and the 2010 model is sold as a 2011.< This is actually comon in the US, the 2011 Mustang is a perfect example.

Excuse me, the 2010 Cayenne has been available since May 2010.

For whatever reason, it's considered a 2011 model in America.

You are right Georg, the 955 Cayenne was from 2002-2006, the 957 from 2007-2010, and the newest Cayenne has only been sold as a 2011, at least in the US.

Here's my proof about the 2011 US claim: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/10q1/2011_porsche_cayenne-prototype_drive
http://www.caranddriver.com/news/spied/09q3/2011_porsche_cayenne-spied
In 2010, it was only considered a prototype. So yeah... pretty sure it's a 2011, at least in the US. ;)

The Cayenne was sold as Mk I from 2001 till 2006... early 2007 (not 2008) was the big facelift ...first facelift Cayenne were delivered 24.Feb 2007...
The Cayenne Mk II is avaible since May 2010 (not late 2010) and it is not a 2011 modelyear

The facelift of the Mk I was huge with many new engines(switching to fuel direct injection and diesel engines lowering the consuption about 8-15%) and a completely redesigned body with a 10% lower airdrag... so caling the facelift MkI MkII is not completely wrong... but they still use the same chassie.. the Cayenne Mk II use the new chassie of the Touareg Mk II

There are two generations from what I've found.

MKI runs from 2002-2010, with a facelift in 2008.

This car has technically only been sold as a 2011 model as well, even though it was first sold in the 4th quarter of 2010 in Europe.

Could these Cayennes here labeled as "MK II"s be just first generation facelifts?

Very confusing. We need a Cayenne expert here. Any cayennologists here?

Haha, same cars :)
Not mkIII, mk2.

I am confused. What's the difference between this http://www.fastestlaps.com/models/porsche-cayenne-turbo-mk-i-facelift and Cayenne Turbo in this page?

MK III? Are there really three generations of Cayenne?

that happen often that manufactor incorrectly transfer orginal PS claims into hp claims...the Porsche Cayenne Turbo has 368kW which are 500PS or 493hp if you look at the Porsche USA page technical spec page and click on the 500hp opens a dyno sheet with the hp and torque curve over the rev band... there you see the Cayenne Turbo reach 368kW which they claim are 500hp but thats incorrect thats 500PS and 493hp

Ah, I see. Does the American version make more power? Porsche advertises the engine as having 500 HP on their US website. And it only makes 516lb ft according to Porsche for the US. The Porsche website also says it weighs 4784, not 4774.

This SUV really is something else though. 22mpg highway with a TT V8, and a CD of .35. Game changer...

there is no different between the 2010 and 2011... deleted the 2011

My mistake, that's the 2011.

But there is no 2011 page...:|

C&D managed a 12.4@113
They also got a 0-100 of 9.7 seconds.

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/11q1/2011_porsche_cayenne_turbo-short_take_road_test

I know they didn't do a 0-100km, but they DID get a 0-60 of 4.0 flat... Goddamn.
