Right from the start, the Cayenne had to deliver typical Porsche performance not just on the road, but off it as well. The sports car manufacturer provided the ultimate proof of its SUV s ability to take the punishment of rough terrain between 2006 and 2008 in the Transsyberia Rally, a gruelling long-distance competition. The details.
When Porsche said it was going to build an SUV more than 20 years ago, fans of Stuttgart's finest sportscars gawked - but my how times have change - as the Cayenne is now one of the brand's best-selling models.
The Cayenne Turbo in question is a 2005 model and has been listed up for auction through
Cars & Bids. It is probably one of the most off-road-focused Cayenne’s in existence and is being sold with an accident-free Carfax report.
From the factory, this Cayenne Turbo came equipped with the Advanced Off-road Technology Package that included locking center and rear differentials and hydraulically-activated front and rear sway bar disconnects. It is also equipped with the Active Suspension Management and Traction Management systems, a sunroof, leather upholstery with front and rear heated seats, and four-zone climate control.
Eager to improve the SUV’s off-roading abilities, the seller fitted a 3-inch suspension lift, 18-inch wheels with 265/65 Kenda Klever E-rated tires, aluminum rock sliders, a roof crossbar with 5 LED off-road lights, a custom swing-away external spare tire carrier with dual auxiliary fuel cans, and various unique decals.
