Porsche Cayenne test drive since 2010 SUV

Overland values

520 l. p., 5.2 seconds to hundreds ... No, these are not indicators of the racing car. And not even the data of any charged sportkup. We are talking about the serial Porsche Cayenne Turbo S SUV with an forced B8 bitourbin engine. Why German engineers created this very powerful SUV in the world, it is difficult to understand until the right leg reaches the gas pedal.
 
Why do you think she has so much fool? - a colleague asks himself frowning and slowly around the silver Kayen, as if he wants to find an answer. There are almost no changes in the exterior, talking about the monstrous power of this car. Well, except that an experienced look will catch several new strokes: four exhaust systems, 20-inch wheels with low-profile tires and red varnish brake mechanisms.
 
Well, let's look at this Super-Cayenne in business. Turn the ignition key, and - my God, and where is the evil roar of the five -hundredth motor, where is this proprietary symphony of sounds? No, this is not a disappointment. The real power should be - restrained, discreet. But on the highway, she reveals her mighty potential in full.
 
The driver does not feel the mass of the car of 2.2 tons, because the power of torque with a maximum of 720 nm pushes this SUV forward, like a real sports car. With its weight and 520 Cayenne Turbo S forces, the mass of mass to a power of 4.3 kg per horse force has a ratio of a power. Thanks to this, the new ESCA shoots almost the same as Carrera 911 S.
 
Compared to the previous model, the 4.5-liter eight received an increase in 70 forces thanks to the two larger interculves, an increase in boost pressure to 1.9 bar and factory chip tuning. Now Cayenne accelerates to hundreds in 5.2 seconds and has a maximum speed of 270 km/h.
 
There is no need to check these prohibitives for the SUV. But it can be testified that up to 180 kilometers per hour Cayenne Turbo S demonstrates incredible acceptance. It feels like at such a speed he did not choose half of his power. A six -speed adaptive machine gently and sensitively switches the gears and is well adapted for a dynamic driving manner.
 
Together with the engine, Porsche engineers finalized the chassis of the car. The pneumatic suspension received new characteristics and settings of the proprietary system PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management). The suspension has three stiffness modes. Comfortable provides a fairly soft ride, but collected and not in any way. In sports mode, the five -meter Cayenne passes steep turns almost without lateral roll.
 
For a more powerful and fast car, more serious brakes were required. In front, now there are 380-mm wheels (30 mm increase) almost 40 mm thick, and the rear in diameter have 358 mm instead of 330. Moreover, the engineers made changes to the brake disc cooling system: they are saved from overheating of a new shape.
 
The updated suspension and the forced Cayenne engine perfectly showed themselves not only on the perfect roads in the vicinity of the city of Dubai, but also in the sands of the Arabian desert, where journalists were sent to off -road trials. At Turbo S tires, tires, he drops out to high margins, makes his way among the dunes, crawls along the unsteady sands, as if he were the master of these places, and not gray camels with their perfect all -wheel drive on all limbs.
 
Multiple, the versatility of the model is impressive. This is an SUV, and Laksher-Kar, and a sports car (Turbo S, by the way, in the Porsche line of power, became the second after Carrera GT). And in all his hypostles, he looks very worthy.
 
A simple Porsche Cayenne Turbo can be bought for 118,000 euros. And the basic price of the ESKI in Russia is 136,000. Is it worth overpaying for this model the extra 18,000 European admirers Porsche such a question can be at an impasse, given the growing cost of fuel and the overall epidemic of saving on everything and everything. Sales of large SUVs in Europe decreased last year. Whether the case is Russia! If you walk, so in all of Ivanovo, if you buy Kayen, then in the top version! Almost half of the Cayenne sold with us are equipped with a turbocharged. And to the latest version, dealers say, the line lined up long before official sales.
