The car is a white model with around 74, miles on the odometer. We think it may be worth the price considering its rarity and the proclivity for Porsche models to increase in value. To this day, the naturally aspirated GTS is one of the best sounding Cayenne models ever produced. Just imagine hearing this V8 sound track with the added pleasure of rowing your own gears. When the Cayenne reached its second generation, it was once again offered with an extremely rare manual transmission option. Unfortunately, this time around the GTS was automatic only, leaving the manual for the base 3.
If you adon't mind sacrificing over hp for a more modern vehicle with better technology and a nicer interior, the second generation Cayenne isn't a bad option. Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Add first comment. Now Buzzing. What's Hot. Car Advice. Even the best driver's started out with the basics. Apple CarPlay. Electric Car Charging Stations. Is Your Mechanic Cheating You? All you need to know to ensure you don't get ripped off.
Especially for a Porsche, the Cayenne is hardly stunning from the outside, but there's only so much you can do with utility-vehicle design before cutting out some of the practicality in the process the Infiniti FX is an example of that. It's become a little more svelte in appearance, with more curvaceous door panels and curvier-looking rear flanks to hint more overtly of the sports cars in the Porsche family. But more likely, you'll notice its low stance the product of revamped front and rear styling and aero work.
Significant interior changes introduced last year, some borrowed from the stylish new Panamera, make the Cayenne's cabin feel much more upscale. Overall, the instrument panel has a more sweeping, coupe-like feel and matte-metallic brightwork. The Cayenne comes in four different flavors, to suit everyone from up-and-coming suburban families to wealthy enthusiasts who might on occasion take their Porsche SUV out for some track time.
A hp, 3. Each of the models come with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, but as you'd imagine there's quite a separation in performance. Base Cayenne V-6 models take about 7. Either of the V-8 models deliver rapid performance that will feel more appropriate for those who've driven Porsche sports cars Turbos can go up to mph. Altogether, handling and roadholding is superb, and the lighter structure and lower center of mass while still keeping some trail ability help give this latest generation of the Cayenne a more nimble feel.
And for those who are into the idea of green performance, there's the Cayenne Hybrid, pairing a hp, 3. In each case, power is delivered through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Altogether, the Hybrid will top 20 mpg, yet achieve in 6. While performance for the V-8 models is especially impressive, V-6 models still take more than 7 seconds to 60 mph. But thanks to a weight-loss regimen across the entire line, the Cayenne feels significantly nimbler than before.
With a five-passenger interior, the Ceyenne is a little smaller inside—both in terms of passenger space and cargo room—than you might expect from a vehicle with such heft and exterior dimensions. But seats are supportive and comfortable for those in front, and interior appointments get progressively more lavish with each trim. In addition to the performance-oriented systems that make it a more responsive, capable handling vehicle compared to most other SUVs, as well as a competitive, full roster of airbags, Porsche offers several high-tech safety systems, including a dynamic light system, Lane Change Assistant, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Both in terms of traditional luxury appointments and modern connectivity, tech, and comfort features, the base Cayenne really isn't missing anything.
A good Bluetooth interface is at last standard across the line, while the standard sound system includes an iPod and USB interface. And with the nav system, you can display smaller maps—not just the next turn instruction—directly within the instrument panel. That's a good thing, overall, though, as the Cayenne's styling is unique. It won't suit all tastes, with the SUV-ness of the Cayenne wearing traditional Porsche cues less elegantly than the brand's coupes.
Inside, the cabin looks upscale, with a sweeping instrument panel, matte-metallic brightwork, and a generally coupe-like feel, particularly from the driver's seat. Sculpted vertical vents, a sloped center console, and Panamera-esque cues go further to enhance the sporty feeling of the Cayenne's cabin, as well as add a dash of sophistication to the overall look.
The Cayenne Hybrid is only minimally differentiated from the gasoline-only versions, with a sprinkling of badges along the front fenders. The one exception to that rule may be the Cayenne V-6 model. Fitted with a horsepower 3. The horsepower engine, paired to the optional eight-speed automatic Tiptronic S transmission, is sharp enough to execute passes well, however, and it's relatively fuel efficient.
A six-speed manual is standard on the base Cayenne, while Cayenne S, Turbo, and Hybrid models get the eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic. All Cayennes are all-wheel drive. The Cayenne S improves performance considerably, rendering a sports car-like 5. Top speed for the Cayenne S is mph. Stepping up to the sportiest of the Cayennes, the Turbo, gets a 4. As per usual with Porsche, the Cayenne came with an extensive list of optional extras.
Also, it has a trailer hitch, roof rails, fog lights, upgraded power steering, and auto-dimming mirrors. Speaking of service, the seller replaced the transfer case and battery last year; this year they replaced the front tires.
Given that a used Porsche Cayenne is still a Porsche, running costs and reliability might worry potential bidders. As always, a pre-purchase inspection is recommended. However, although some versions of the Cayenne have had significant issues, a base VR6 manual avoids most if not all of them.
