The Porsche Cayenne is considered by many to be one of Porsche's most brilliant creations. Just one look at this mid-size SUV will tell you that it is genuine Porsche pedigree. From the 911-esque headlights to the standard Porsche dual exhausts, it exudes class, elegance, and to the trained eye, just a hint of aggression. This SUV hauls quite the load as far as people and equipment are concerned, but also has straight-line and cornering performance that rivals that of sports cars. It is, quite frankly, one of the best all-around vehicles in the world.
The 4.8 liter V8 that comes in the Porsche Cayenne S is a 385 horsepower powerhouse that will launch this three and a half ton SUV from 0-60 in roughly 6.5 seconds. For those keeping score, that's fast enough to keep up with the all-new VW GTI, a 3000 pound hatchback. This normally-aspirated V8 is more than capable for towing as well; with 369 foot-pounds of torque, the Cayenne S will tow more than its own weight (maximum towing capacity: 7716 pounds). With sure-footed all wheel drive and flat torque curve, towing up even the steepest hills is a snap.
Some Porsche drivers want more, and more they'll get. The Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, powered by a 550 horsepower monster of a turbocharged 4.8 liter V8, will rocket the driver and his 6800 pound machine to 60 miles per hour in about four and a half seconds. 553 foot-pounds of torque comes standard, making even the heaviest towing job a breeze. Gas mileage isn't exactly the Cayenne's strong suit, but those wanting to save a bit of money can opt for the base Cayenne model. This comes with a 3.2 liter V6, and boasts 14 mpg in the city, and 20 mpg on the highway.
