I had a Cayenne Turbo up until a little while ago, its basically a Toureg (sp?) chassis with a few odds & sods.
I went like **** & tbh i only got rid of it because i wanted & bought the new RR TDV8 which is a different monster in its own right.
Dont listen to what the numpites on here say about the Cayenne its a great car & tbh i am looking at getting the missus the 3.2 V6 one later in the year once the E class turns 3 yrs old.

what do you do for a living
i'm being nosey , but its what everyone else who reads this thread is wanting to know
used an X5 v8, was good and a lot quicker than i thought it could be, porsche cayenne turbo looks the coolest though , partly because of the uglyness combined with performance
whats the rr diesel like
with the torque it should really nice to cruise round in, but in reality if you give it some heavy use, is it any better on fuel than a petrol,

I do a bit of this & a bit of that
The RR is immense, i have an old Landi TD5 as well that i use for the odd jobs around the farm & tbh its going very shortly as i bought a trailer that can take all the rubbish i need for the back of the RR.
As far as the torque goes i could tie a rope around your house, give it some welly & you would be homeless Well nearly
The fuel economy isnt a major issue so i cant really comment on that.

I would go for the TDV8 RRS. We were going to buy a 2.7 RRS to replace our X3 but when I heard that the TDV8 was coming out we decided to wait and see what happens to residuals and used prices - as the TDV8 is a much much better engine and I would prefer to wait a while longer.

That's what I did. Tried the performance 4x4's incl the Porsche and realised if you want a fast car then a big 4x4 isn't the way to go. The X5 replaces my GTB, had hoped to find summit to replace the GTB and the STi but the big 4x4's don't give anything near the same buzz as the Impreza. If I want a blast I go out in the STi or the RX8

The new TDV8's are that good LandRover are going to stop selling the standard V8 Petrols although the Supercharged versions will still be available.

Congratulations - these sort of motors are awesome!
Even the Merc GL500 I tested was amazing... 0-60 in 6.7 secs & that's an automatic - nothing to do except push the loud pedal to the floor & does it every time - no reving to 4000 rpm & smoking the clutch with these babies They just get on with it. The Cayenne turbo must be staggering to drive with a 5.1 sec 0-60
The handling is phenomenal too - we did 'emergency stops' , slaloms, elk test and all that stuff with the merc on an airfield - impressed is not the word! - I'm sure the Cayenne & new RR s/c sport must be similar.
I've always fancied a 'compromise car' - one as practical as my Discovery & as fast as my Impreza... and they are available - who wouldn't want one - apart from the purchase price and running costs
Could go Green and go for a hybrid Lexus or sommat
All the best with whatever you choose steve
