It surprised many, but history is full of drive from the Porsche does not start with the now popular Cayenne, but much earlier. The first attempts to master off-road were already in the early 50's. The truth is they have not received further development. The next was a spiral wheel Cabrio, which soon grew into an ambitious model 969 and as the road changed to DM 420 000 was the apotheosis of serial technology company. |

At the turn of the century full gear was mastered top-model Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and Turbo. And finally, with the advent of model Cayenne implemented a commercial version of the rating system 4 * 4 (although the 5-seat Cayenne is not based on any one of the models of Porsche). Although traditionally focused on luxury Porsche sports and racing cars, the establishment of a full-fledged SUV turned to a design team of Porsche - challenge in all feasible ways. Moreover, the commercial prospects are very favorable. Perhaps these and played a crucial role in the production of Cayenne.

At a press conference on the opening of the Geneva Salon, the head of Porsche Wendelin Videking enthusiastically talked about the new model, although she made her debut on the market in September. According to him, wrapped sport «currency» SUV output of 450 hp in the turbo version has surpassed all competitors to one, including the BMW X5 4,6, Mercedes ML 55 AMG and Range Rover. It was only in 2003, they had an opportunity to come closer to the Porsche, Cayenne when got more democratic 3-liter V6.

Already the first official photos reflect untraditionally reservedly-conservative appearance without fashionable stylistic details. Desired effect was the creation of a permanent form, and excessive number of Lifestyle detail, upon the recommendation of the Porsche, could, over time, and bored. Perhaps the design would look like, and really too good, if not unique "nostril" front bumper to accurately recognize its Porsche.

The visual differences between the Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo turbo versions are not as obvious as in the 911th model. While the turbo version is still great intake, longitudinal protrusions on the bonnet and the four exhaust pipes.

In terms of mechanics, the Cayenne is ready for the most powerful stress: along with the constant full drive, functional and span locking differential, and in particularly strong pressure to the aid comes demultiplikator. In addition, to cope with the pothole and the pits will help the 300-mm ground clearance, and to overcome the slippery-speed turns - Popular System Stability PSM.

Athletic potential in Cayenne was founded originally by implementing two versions of 4.5-liter V8. It is capable of fast speed in a straight line: up to 266 km / h in serial SUV yet no one got, and 5.6 seconds to 100 km / h would not be ashamed and motor sports. Engage in the gear shift is not necessary: all the equipment there is 6-stepped Tiptronic.

The steering system moved into Cayenne Porsche typical for all the activity and dynamics, and autonomous pneumatic suspension of all wheels and electronically controlled stabilizers maintain a constant balance that, to put it mildly, not an easy car. In addition to the standard chassis, is largely similar to the sister model of the Volkswagen - Touareg, there are two options. Installing the chassis called Roadrunner is designed for use only on roads with a solid and high quality finish. Steel spring suspension and replaced pnevmoticheskuyu lowered below the body significantly improved stability and speed properties. Since the thermal load on the brake is designed to handle water-cooled brake slide. A model created for road traffic, has more long passages tuned suspension and special shock absorbers.

At the same time, the model of the Volkswagen Group Cayenne lot in common. In addition to the chassis and transmission, and even some parts of the body, such as doors. However, while collecting a full VW Touareg in Bratislava, Porsche created there only spines bodies. After transporting them to Germany in Leipzig, where they attach to the noble traits. In addition, in Germany, collected the front and rear parts, equipment compartment, gearbox and brakes as well as assembled products in Stuttgart Motors V8.
