The Porsche Cayenne is a five-seat mid-size luxury sport utility vehicle manufactured by the German automaker Porsche since 2002, with North American sales beginning in 2003. It is the first V8 engined vehicle built by Porsche since 1995, when the Porsche 928 was discontinued. Last year a couple of Porsche Cayenne S modified for the occasion, won the Rally Trans, a test with a distance of 10,000 kms. Encouraged by the victory of these two vehicles, Porsche built a line of 26 SUVs Porsche Cayenne S 2007, which will participate in this year's edition of the rally. All possible technical improvements have been put in vehicles, including Porsche Traction Control (PTM), Porsche Dynamic Control Chassis (PDDC) and the Porsche Active Suspension (PASM). But these systems are not only versions of the factory, but also were adjusted, so the PTM have boqueo cross and the PDCC has a mode that allows the SUV Porsche Cayenne S sink in up to 76 cm of water, while a tube-mounted the roof prevents the liquid component passes to the engine.
The next generation Porsche Cayenne is expected to arrive in mid-late 2010. First spy photos of the car were posted on the internet on the 5th of June 2008. The Cayenne will again be the first of the three new SUVs from the VW group. The new Touareg will be 6-12 months behind. Standard features of the 2010 Porsche Cayenne base will include air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, interior air filter, tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, cruise control, leather upholstery, 12-way power front seats, heated front seats, outside-temperature indicator, universal garage door opener, power liftgate, and power sunroof. The Cayenne S will add on tri-zone climate controls, heated steering wheel, and a compass. The Cayenne GTS will add on a rearview camera, remote engine start, keyless access and start, and memory system. Finally, the most upscale Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S will add on a navigation system w/voice recognition, premium sound system, 4-zone climate controls, heated rear seats, and 6-disc CD changer.
