REVIEW: The super-SUV segment is no place for shrinking violets, and Porsche has dialled it up to 11 for the new Cayenne
There’s an elastic, catapult-like quality about the way the automatic gearbox uses all that torque when taking off quickly from rest, only for the engine to rush through the lower intermediate ratios like a magician dealing baccarat cards. There is give and take to the power delivery also due to some turbo lag evident below 2500rpm, Porsche’s lowering of the compression ratio of its turbo V8 taking a small but noticeable toll on low-range tractability.
At its most wild, the Cayenne Turbo GT doesn’t waste any opportunity to show its visceral brutality – but, running in normal driving mode, that V8 engine is a distant audible presence only, the gearbox is slick and accommodating, and progress can be smooth and mechanically refined. Flick that steering wheel rotor 180deg clockwise in Sport Plus, however, and there’s a starkness to the sudden change in dynamic character.
There is a remarkably long-travel calibration for the accelerator pedal, via which it is hard to immediately compute just how much faster the car will go as you delve deeper towards the carpet. Typically, the answer is ‘plenty’. The carbon-ceramic brakes have decent bite, useful progression, and all the power and fade resistance you would want in such a heavy performance machine.
