Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT: Ride over the racetrack - Cayenne Turbo

Already from the outside, the athletic Cayenne now makes more power, among other things, it is to recognize the darkened LED main schoolers, the wheel house widening and the large rear spoiler. Even inside, Porsche underlines the sporty and exclusive character. The four-seat luxury SUV presents itself all around. Otherwise, dark, specific colors and Alcantara covers dominate. With the PCM 6.0, the latest development level of the infotainment system holds a move. It can be used intuitively and is functional and geared to the driver.

Edel Interior: Cayenne Cockpit with the latest infotainment generation. manufacturer

Porsche has explained the Vierliter-Biturbo-V8 "in many areas", such as Dirk Celebrities, technical conductors in engine development. For example, the technical measures relate to injection, turbocharging and also the crank mechanism. The bolide is now charged with 1.6 bar, a plus of 0.1 bar. Overall, the Zuffenhausen had dropped out additional 67 kW / 90 hp, power underground 471 kW / 640 hp.

At the weight you tried to catch up: The exhaust system made of titanium with central tailpipes is 18 kilos easier than in the Cayenne Turbo. And yet: Such a big, after all 4.94 meters long coloss driving up with a pilot around 2290 kilos.

Family car for bright

As expected, the top Cayenne can be driven relaxed without grumbling or viticles in everyday traffic. The Turbo GT can therefore even be the family car for a particular, very well-looking customer circle: next to the spacious interior (at 2.90 meters wheelbase), the large luggage compartment speaks. There are 549 liters in, there are a maximum of 1464 liters.

With regard to the sprint thickness - 3.3 seconds from the stand to Tempo 100 - makes the Cayenne Turbo GT so fast no one before, and real 300 km / h is hardly running under the SUVs. However, those who often demand the GT will hardly come up with those 14.1 liters to 100 kilometers (319 g / km CO2), which promises the WLTP standard.

Top Cayenne: gets not only on the racetrack wings. manufacturer

Some people are likely to obey that such cars do not need. But may not be forgotten that there are many markets worldwide, on which performance (almost) is in demand without end, although the environment is too short. Of course, as well: Porsche can secure jobs in Germany with its model range. Apparently, the clientel also has money in abundance - for the Cayenne Turbo GT must be paid 196,078 euros. It is usually not, because even with your exceptional athletes, the Zuffenhausen likes to fulfill (unusual) special requests for a surcharge.

If the proud owner wants to properly expand the dynamic qualities of the GT (preferably on the racetrack), he will not be disappointed. The SUV has everything on board as standard, which gives the dedicated sports driver: These include all suspension and control systems available for the series. No question - Of course, they are designed for maximum longitudinal and transverse dynamics.

AB on the Circuit

On a Circuit on the Swedish island of Gotland, the strongest, cayenne was equipped by 17 millimeters and with ultrabreite 22-inch performance wheels prove what he can. That top performance is announced, the rapporteur already feels at the Intrial Round. Let's start at a given distance behind the instructor, which pilotes one, yes, 911er sports car. Oha, the expert creates a noticeable threesome tempo than expected. I am still not familiar with the track and the Cayenne Turbo GT in racing trim. Highest concentration: Before and in the curves, pylons indicate the incorporation and vertices. It is important to catch to find the ideal line in the express tempo, is understood. Well, from the 2.3 tons you can hardly feel something in the steering. Sharp left / right combinations seem to be literally on the driver. Let's get better, not so great, then it is a bit too magic. Impress the route curve, I can forget that on the first and also on the second round.

Okay, the pretty crass jump hill can I notice because of the magnificent view of a quarry that is filled with lagoon-like turquoise water. Surprise: The curve tackled at high speed attracts itself. But the brakes pack energetically. Take a deep breath! In round two and three everything runs even faster, but on the agile GT is leaving. I always feel safer. Nothing is left to chance: The control systems forgive the smaller and larger driving errors, prevent the departure to the peb bed.

TopSpeed ​​300 km / h: This is best expanded away from normal road traffic. manufacturer

But: Already sounds from the radio, the info that the (driving) has fun. Relaxation for the driver, because now only the cooling round follows to gently relax the hot brakes and the engine.

Handling like a sports car

Our conclusion: The great SUV from Zuffenhausen can master even sporty challenges. Not only for rapid accelerating, but also when delaying, he acts excellent, the latter thanks to the ceramic brakes. In terms of handling, the all-wheel drive GT itself can consist against purebred sports cars.

The Cayenne started almost twenty years ago. At that time, the Porsche motor technicians invited him already 450 horsepower. With the model, the sports car manufacturer rose for the first time in the SUV segment. Since 2019, the large SUV also moves as Cayenne Turbo S e-hybrid electrically. Bestsellers among the Porsche SUVs today, however, is the more compact Macan.
