Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (2006) CAR review

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo, doyen of the noveau riche and Premiership footballers. What's new about this?

This is no 'ordinary' Cayenne Turbo, not that there's much ordinary about a 444bhp SUV that hits 62mph from stop as fast as a Lamborghini Countach. But check out that Turbo S designation. Porsche has created an even faster, even more brutal, even pricier, ultimate Cayenne. When it comes to Porsche, anything is possible. If it likes the idea of an SUV that's almost as fast as a supercar, then it builds one.

How did they spice up a Turbo S, then?

Take a Cayenne Turbo. Revise the intercoolers and heat exchangers, and boost the pressure in the twin turbos to whip up 514bhp. Tweak the suspension to cope and beef up the brakes. There's a unique tailpipe design and the 20in wheels are new. There are six different air suspension settings to choose from, and the body automatically lowers its ride height at 78mph and then again at 131mph.
