2008 Porsche Cayenne
The Porsche Cayenne’s looks were extremely decisive when it first appeared in 2002. However, if you stop and think about you’re actually getting a car with a 4.5 litre turbo charged V8 engine!
Not only has the Cayenne got such a powerful engine but it’s welded to a chassis that been fettled by some of the best engineers in the business.
Forget the Porsche 911, in terms of sales and profitability the Cayenne is by far and away the most accessible Porsche of all time. What it did was give people the opportunity to have that desirable Porsche badge but studded on a more practical car which in our view is still a winning combination.
The poise, accuracy and mind-blowing performance are all incredible for such a big heavy car. It’s also the definitive and original sporty SUV. This car is the very reason why you’ll soon be able to buy SUVs from the likes of Bentley, Aston Martin and Maserati.
Porsche purists may bemoan the fact that this iconic sports car marque is now building SUVs and luxury saloons bit it’s important to remember that it’s the profits from these cars which allows it to keep developing icons like the 911 the Cayman the Boxster and the ballistic 918. Not only this but the Porsche Cayenne is simply a fantastic car in its own right. It’s fast, good to drive and extremely practical. In terms of “bangs for your buck” not a lot of other cars come close.
