A five-seat mid-size luxury sport utility vehicle, the Porsche Cayenne was launched in the North American market in 2003 with a diesel variant introduced in 2009. It shares its platform with the Volkswagen Touareg.
The Cayenne was the first vehicle built by Porsche with a V8 engine option since 1995. It has a front-engine layout and operates on four-wheel drive. A 3.6-liter VR6 engine powers Cayenne’s base model capable of producing 290 hp (220 kW). Exhaust manifold modifications enable power to peak at 6700 rpm. The base Porsche Cayenne can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 7.5 seconds with manual transmission.
There are several versions of the Cayenne: the 8-cylinder engined Cayenne S with a variable valve timing and dry-sump lubrication system; the GTS powered by a 405-hp 4.8L V8 and features a sports suspension; and the Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S. The 450-hp Turbo accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds. The Turbo version relies on a twin-turbocharged 4.8L V8 motor that turns out 500 bhp (370 kW) of power and torque of 700 n-M.
