2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S

This is the strangest feeling. Porsche Cayenne Turbo S resurrected-for-2014, accelerating away from a stop, we wonder if it really is we hit 550 horses under the hood smooth. Positioned as the Porsche Cayenne obscene, our hairs stand on end, and then-with them is expected to push the Turbo S is terrific shave. Our testers say almost too fast Cayenne we've ever tested, but at warp speed, with a distinct lack of ability, we obtain the courage to say it.

Smooth and Quick Operator

"We have already done with the first generation Cayenne Turbo S, right: 2014 Turbo S is the probability of conception, we imagine, it's something like that, like drama-free? Also, regular Turbo is just too damn slow. Most things are violin and unzip Let . "S extra 50 horsepower and 37 pounds-ft of torque addition to the same twin-turbocharged, 4.8-liter V-8 engine employed by Turbo, but it gets juiced mean. As with other Cayennes, power eight-speed is directed sidewalk with automatic transmission and torque-vector feature an all-wheel-drive system (large staff base, S, S Hybrid and diesel models GTS included) rear axle.


Sixty miles, we test 0.4 seconds faster in 4.1 seconds and just plain mental latest Turbo weights 5237 pounds more for something when we arrived. (This "almost as fast Cayenne" waiver up to the top when it comes to a 2011 Turbo struck four seconds flat to 60 mph, but this result seems increasingly Cayenne views anomaly.) Turbo S or less than its less powerful equaled skidpad same 0.90 g, mixed driving the same dismal 15 mpg and almost the same 70-to-0 braking records in other measurable brother. number of similarities wore our Turbo S. located 21-inch Michelin Latitude Sport tires we tested also all Turbo (and even a few other Cayennes) given are expected

Turbo S's move informative steering, lively and pretty damn impressive for an SUV, drive and adjustable suspension the mode of a livable balance between the most processing (Comfort mode softens enough stuff to deliver on their behalf), and an abundance of available grip. But still no Cayenne-matter never fully able to overcome these obstacles, how to place something heavy and high sitting position.

Don you start throwing MonoclesA and Bills

Entirely based on statistics, there are roughly 50 extra horsepower and causes outside of rationality similar performance to the Turbo $ 111.375 base tag on paying $ 35,600. But then appeal to people outside of the Turbo S have their rationality, leaned over the spending that kind of crowd a specific car possible.


Although they are perhaps our Cayenne, Cayenne, this will be satisfied. Our $ 168.225 example options $ 21,250 wore though, big ticket items like a few $ 8,840 carbon-ceramic brakes, $ 5,655 Sport Design body kit, $ 2,990 rear-seat entertainment system, $ 1,640 wireless internet connection is missing because the $ 2,225 leather air vents ribs, $ 1,025 leather-wrapped sun umbrellas, and $ 650 colored seat belts. And for the sake of time, we grab the handle to mix and match buyers and mirror leather, colors, instrument exploration permit skip numerous customization options and free doorsill plates-none of which will monogrammed. If you want to spend more than $ 235 000 Turbo S, you can just tell.

Parsing the subtle differences between Turbo and Turbo S is meaningless. What model is the most delicious Cayenne pepper in a jar. That honor goes more visceral GTS 420 hp. Porsche SUV remains our pick of litter and slow in a straight line, though, keep the asphalt with more perseverance and Turbo or gives a more immediate response inputs. This GTS a great voice, which makes it one of unmuffled by turbo helps a lot and comparative leather wrapped headlights or carbon-fiber Mudflap and leaves plenty of $ 84,275 in any way, it's a steal. But for some buyers, absurdly powerful and supremely refined Cayenne Turbo S pyramid sits on top of them ready to meet a lot of cases, no substitute for the glory, is no.
