Nope, the fast one has 'turbo' on the back.

S is still no slow coach though.

Nope...

There's the 'standard' Cayenne - 3.2 litre V6. 250 hp (same basic engine as Golf R32).
Then there's the V8 'S' model. 4.5 litre V8. 340 hp
And then there's the Turbo... 4.5 litre V8 Turbo. 450 hp. Nice. Fast.

Think it was the middle one. Had a bloody great play with one earlier.

We were both somewhat hampered I imagine, me with a plate of mothers sheppards pie in the passenger seat, him with his bird At least my pie wouldn't answer back!

We were both sprinting down the dual carriagway, and I decided to take him on the outside of a roundabout in a high speed drift. Bloke absolutely loved it!

Always like a bit of friendly playing

Nat, get a life. I know how to drive the car properly, there was no-one around and if I was going to end up anywhere - it would have been in a hedge.

Not that I ave to justify myself

Suppose most people buy a 300 bhp car to pose in?

THose things can handle as well...
I think most people think they are all pose and no go...but they`d be wrong...
Very easy to obtain 700bhp from the turbo as well....

I've been in one(turbo version) round Brands and boy does it fly. Impressive machine and great engineering to make it go like that. However, this will be wasted on most buyers and boy is the thing ugly. The other cayenne (vw toe-rag) is far more pleasing on the eye. Not sure how they perform off road though, not that that matters to most buyers.

I have a cayenne s and a 993 turbo.

the cayenne is a superb car.And its quick - 0-60 in around 7 secs and thats from an auto.Theres huge grunt/torque from the 4.5 V8 - in gear acceleration is far better than the figures would suggest.

And I do believe a cayenne turbo was quciker than an M3 around some race track - published in one of car mags - cant remember which.

Sam, its getting a good workout Skyline's next on the list if you do me a good price on it

Forgot to add that he was also giving some big abuse over the roundabouts, I wouldn't normally bite otherwise. Have to say it did handle well and looke rock steady on the road. When you see something of that size, you tend to assume it will be a bit of a barge.

The thing people have to remember is that once these big things are moving they are pretty quick top end.

Just like this Skyline of mine, 0-60 wont be around the 4.5 sec mark my old sti was , But the way to beat the scoobs is to not change gear...
This will do 120mph in 4th @ only 5500rpm.
But i miss the throw you out of your seat bit!!!!!!



Skyline next ???!!!The 32 has to go soon...
But the 34 has your name written all over it
