2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo Test Drive Video

We recently did a test drive on the new Porsche Cayenne GTS last month but if you thirst for some more thrust via a 4.8-liter V8 producing 500 horsepower and 6-speed auto tranny, then the 2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo is your quencher.

Not only does this SUV move like a scalded dog but it drinks like racing horse getting a parching 19 mpg on the highway and eww, 12 mpg city. Don’t worry, if you can afford this big daddy then you are not too concerned about my previous sentence.

Here is a newly released test drive video of the new 2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo from MyRide. Now you can haul the whole family and dogs while being amongst fastest on the road.

Nurburgring this, Nurburgring that, Who’s got the fastest Lap?

Never before has there been so much hype over who has the fastest lap time around the Nurburgring. So I sat down and really thought what sparked all of this hype. Was it the Nissan GT-R’s stunning lap time that everyone is ever-so-fast chasing?

2008 PORSCHE CAYENNE GTS SPORT UTILITY Test Drive

I don’t know why versatile, flexible, four-door vehicles that can carry up to 8-people or a sheet of 8X4ft. plywood ever got the name ‘sport utility’ vehicle. With a high center of gravity, body-on-frame construction and a solid rear axle, these utility vehicles were never built to give a sporty handling experience, no matter the price.

 

Porsche entered the sport utility segment in 2003 with the Cayenne to bring more sport into the segment with their long heritage of building some of the world’s great sports cars. While they did dial-up the power and performance level with the 500hp Cayenne Turbo model, there was still room for improvement in the handling department.

Today we are showing you a video of the new 2010 Porsche Panamera being driven out in the Artic. Below is an excerpt from Edmunds.com.

As it edges closer to production next year, the 2010 Porsche Panamera is starting to stray farther from home. This time our spy photographers caught up with the Panamera while it was undergoing cold-weather testing in the Arctic Circle.

Like most of the prototypes we’ve seen before, this Panamera had camouflage over the front and rear ends to conceal the final design details. In this case, however, the huge ducktail spoiler was absent, a change that gives a much better look at the unique rear window.
