Test Drive Porsche Cayenne since 2010 SUV
Two versions of Porsche Cayenne
New Porsche Cayenne. One version is faster than another 1.2 second ... The Evolution of Porsche Cayenne reminds women's hysteria. If you fit the history of creating and developing this car in one line, the next Tirade will be obtained: I want to be the most sporty off-road car in the world, the dream of everyone ...... who has money for me to admire for my technical perfection, appreciated my superiority, no, why do I need all the riches of the world, I want to be just a quick crossover, dirt no longer attracts me, where I feel better, pouring it rapidly urban asphalt, and so beautiful that I dropped 180 kilograms and abandoned the lowest transfer, but suddenly the old fans suddenly understand me, do they need them?
Here these exercises he especially loves. Drifts in the sand it only swallow
End of vicious permissiveness
Old Porsche Cayenne had everything that owner could dream of. And for a long time, German marketing experts of this vicious permissiveness have plugged. The buyer received an incredible sports and off-road potential. Divine handling and devilish five seconds to a hundred, powerful reduced transmission and hard lock. But several years have passed, and a curious fact popped up: the owner dreamed not at all about it.
For some time we stood with a familiar girl near Porsche Cayenne. A minute later she said: Let's take money. This replica explains everything. You can do absurd things with Cayenne, first put a reduced range of gears, then remove it, while bringing the engine power to 1,000,000 horsepower and reducing the acceleration time to negative values. It is important to keep the smell of money because it is a wallet on wheels.
Losses in the geometric patency of the updated Cayenne: the base is increased by 40 mm, the clearance is reduced by 5 mm
But a sensible person will always find the right application of even such hopelessly impractical, cynical things. Rorsche Cayenne, for example, is suitable to check women for stuffing. Come on it on a date and in the middle of the conversation suddenly admit that you are just a driver. Or, on the contrary, arrive on the bus, and then suddenly invite the interlocutor to ride a personal Porsche Cayenne. You will find out about your lady without delaying what, in other conditions you do not get out of ten years.
It is faster, but you will not feel
So, we have a sports car that appeared in 2002, which dreamed of becoming an SUV, but in 2010 suddenly changed his mind. He became longer his predecessor, but now gives a lot less sensations of a large car. Licking turns of the disconnections of the ring highways, you think about one thing does not look like a medium-sized parckarter. Full illusion of passenger car. The steering wheel is short, but rather light and pleasant. The suspension keeps the blow, while keeping the smoothness of the stroke, and extinguishes the parasitic vibrations, not allowing them to the body of the driver. Any body attempts to stick up, squint and swing, in other words, to get out of equilibrium, immediately emanates the electronic army, whose sensors are embedded in the suspension.
Cayenne successfully imitates a system of off-road cruise control used on Toyota LC 200
The old Porsche Cayenne also all consisted of electronic brains, but the current even more advanced. In an amazing way, when you accelerate you no longer indulge in the chair all under control. Add to this noticeably muted engine sound on the new version and now you are telling friends that the current Porsche Cayenne is going worse. Where did the speaker do? The Germans decided to prove that acceleration is not at all space sensations: we made this car even faster, but you won't feel it. Boredom Here is a true pleasure.
At the top of the front panel there is a glacier who slides down the beard, leaving after himself a moraine from the control buttons
Adrenalinks in the way. They were deceived, deceiving bodily joy, a split, because of which the brain boils. Now it will not be possible to tear into full support on your Porsche. Instead, there is an opportunity to sit in the chair, in complete prostration watching how the city rushes at you at the speed of the starship. Remember my word, the new round of the evolution of fast cars will be to hang out insulation. In addition, disappointed owners will start to pull out electronic sensors from the suspension and throw them into the Porsche representation window. Although again by. Cayenne owners will be so busy with testing women, which is unlikely to find time and strength for a street protest.
In Cayenne you can never tear the eye from the road, but the devices still have a tradition
To someone, and Porsche did not stick from the key. And even less left hand
Sharp a billiard ball
I specifically took two versions of Porsche Cayenne S and Porsche Cayenne Turbo for a test drive. It is necessary to understand why people pay a difference in two million. The first one accelerates to a hundred for 5.9 seconds and has 400 horsepower, reaching 258 km / h. The second flies to the hyperspace for 4.7 seconds at five hundred horses, getting to the maximum 278 km / h. There is no special difference, but you can describe it metaphorically. One of my familiar athlete who was fond of swimming in his junior told me how the coach taught it to improve the results. What is natural for her age, she was smooth as a billiard ball. But the experienced trainer shaved her from the legs to the head, and the result of a stater was improved by 0.1 s. This is such a carefully prepared athlete reminds Porsche Cayenne Turbo, with his events conquered with reality.
When overclocking in 5 seconds to hundreds, passengers usually play the role of kegles
On the off-road both versions behave equally well. First of all, due to the central and rear lock, as well as extremely thought-out off-road algorithms of electronic assistants. This arsenal plus the pneumatic suspension Cayenne, of course, borrowed from VW Touareg. And did it elegantly. With unusual it seems that horsepower stuffed the wheels into the ground with sound speed. But do not even worry the lacarounds. Electronics so well performs his work that any stupid acts of the driver look like professional maneuvers.
On this test, I decided on a primitive mistake: allowed myself to go to the sandy hollow and at the very bottom. In theory, it is possible to leave such a west, only having a place to overclock, and it was not. Then I added a completely unforgivable symbol in such conditions with the move in the gas pedal, the benefit could hope for helping colleagues who were waiting nearby. Most crossovers would not solve this task, sowing on belly. Cayenne left so gracefully as Land Cruiser 200 would have done with his creeping control system, allowing without effort to move on heavy off-road with the speed of the beetle. At the same time, Cayenne was still as much as I put pressure on the accelerator.
However, in geometric patency, the new Cayenne lost. Its base compared with the old version is elongated by 40 mm, and the clearance is reduced by 5. With regard to the main loss of a lower row in the transmission, it is partially compensated by a shortened range of transmission numbers of the eight-stage automaton.
In a pissing dog pose, this crossover becomes playing
The off-road potential of Cayenne can be discussed for a long time, but according to the laws of physics, the conversation about Porsche will always roll towards conversation about women. You can check it in any audience, even consisting exclusively from lovers to discuss the number of valves.
Ironically, all women are wade on Porsche, although the owner of Cayenne none of these mercenary ladies is needed. Why does he boredom and hopelessness?
He has another choice: Familiar to the coach for swimming with delicious duties on shaving loses or two million rubles to get overclocking to hundreds for 4.7 seconds instead of 5.9.
