The Cayenne S is Porsche's first endeavor into the sports-utility market, and it is executed with such expertise that you might think they have been building SUVs for years. The Cayenne is most importantly a SPORT vehicle. Retaining the Porsche heritage, and the abilities of the long line of sports cars, it drives and handles like no other vehicle on the road or off. It can handle the highway, the racetrack and the backwoods trail with abandon. Thrilling behind the wheel, this Cayenne is a thoroughly capable vehicle that makes good on its Porsche nameplate. Powered by an all-aluminum V-8 engine, it will certainly get your heart pumping with its performance. The normally aspirated engine produces 340 horsepower. Power is intoxicating, and hearing the engine roar to life is such pleasure (subtle, not obnoxious). It's a 911 in SUV clothing! It corners and sticks to the ground like the road itself! Styling is very Porsche-like, and even though this vehicle has the rear bustle of an SUV, it has the design of a Porsche. There is so much to discuss about the Cayenne that, with its abilities and features, this car will keep a full room enthralled for hours at any dinner party. The interior is, with a few exceptions, all Porsche. The seats are supportive with excellent bolstering, yet they are not overly restrictive. The dash is as close to a 911 as it can get and still provide the features needed for an SUV.
