Porsche Cayenne Turbo
The wicked-looking matte black Porsche Cayenne that also forms part of Yohan’s collection is as special as the rest of them, courtesy its twin-turbo 4.8-litre V8 heart. It makes 500 PS and 700 Nm as its peak output, which are then transferred to the wheels using an eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission.
When first launched in 2002, the first generation of the Cayenne faced some criticism from Porsche purists who believed that the development of an SUV by a manufacturer of fabulous sports cars was a dilution of their sporting legacy. Much water has flowed under the bridges in Stuttgart and today the Cayenne is recognised as an SUV not just with some fairly serious off-road abilities, but also with impressive performance where speed, acceleration and dynamic capabilities are concerned.
Although the Cayenne does share its platform with the Volkswagen Touareg, which has also proved itself a capable off-roader, including at the legendary Paris-Dakar, the Porsche’s design and development have been done completely in-house by the legendary sports car makers.
