Test drive Porsche Cayenne 957 2007 - 2009 SUV

Maximus

No one argues that Porsche Cayenne as a phenomenon has changed the car landscape forever. People are now divided into those who admit that they would like to have Porsche Cayenne, and those who are simply silent, because they bit the tongue with envy. Porsche Cayenne has long been a starting point around which there is talk about the car as such. Say, this is better this car Porsche Cayenne or worse than it. There is one problem in this coordinate system - they still cannot find a car that would be better. Sometimes there are just others, and often we choose them according to some other parameters and criteria. Because it is good or bad, but Cayenne as gold is a measured.

In life, many of us choose special things: someone is silver, and someone is completely diamonds-frure or wooden toys.
Here I have a friend - Maxim Heraldovich. He loves Porsche and, as soon as the new Porsche gets to the shelves of our stores, hurries to purchase it. The true fan of Cayenne. And after a series of cars of this brand in the property, recently he finally ordered and bought Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, hung it with Techart Magnum tuning.
And here in January, Porsche finally announces some refreshment of its model range.
Indeed, it's high time. The fact is that our Stuttgart friends have long set themselves before the dilemma of any hit miker-that Kobzona, that Arctic Monkeys-why do something new if the PIPLA and so joyfully haws. There is a reason for this - because it can be harmful. But, you see, it became inconvenient before the guys, and Porsche - so many years have passed since the start of the model - I decided to add a couple of verses to my crooked song. And then I decided: our Maxim Gerldovich hit, I just laid out ... Well, how much I posted - I posted so much. And then they slip you the latest super-dumper-model, who says right in the forehead, you hastened something with the purchase, our dear Castomer. They would have waited six months, and there would be a new blinding happiness to you.
With such sad thoughts, we went on a fifteen-hour journey to the Spanish city of Sheres (yes, the same dry sherry) to see the radiant happiness with their own eyes, it is also the gold standard of the auto industry. In Munich, they picked up an American group of journalists and arrived in the 26-degree heat. Apparently, everyone was like glass, because, instead of walking on a wonderful beach, full of sand dunes at the quiet, like a puddle, the Atlantic Ocean, we went to watch new cars.
 
The surroundings of the city of Kadis strongly resemble San Diego and other open spaces south of the la. What is the climate, what is the natural landscape and paints in architecture. Here, apparently, an investment boom.
And where the cash boom and good weather, there just should stand on every corner of Cayenne. There are only two exceptions - London and Moscow. In both, the weather is so -so.
They stood - on the highway fenced off from the whole world, from the hill down to the sea, and back.
These were models 4.8 V8 and 4.8 V8 Biturbo. Do not think that they are radically different from our beloved Cayenne. The people are easier and is unlikely to distinguish them from previous issues. Indeed, why change the horse at such a profitable crossing? If only 20,000 devices are sold in America?
For those who have difficulty identifying new Cayenne, a system of identification marks has been introduced. At the back, the lanterns acquired a different outline. There are new dimensions on the new SUV muzzle: the model is more likely - vertically, the models are stronger - Biturbo - horizontally. This is the Ferdinand code for you.
Of course, we all understood about new engines, because now there are three of them in NOMO at once: 3.6 liters of V6 develops 290 horses and a speed of 8.5 seconds to 100 km/h. The second engine 4.8 V8 with 385 horses accelerates our ingot of gold to a hundred in 6.8 seconds, and already Divigetle 4.8 V8 Biturbo, 500 horses bullets it into space for 5.1 s.
On that tiny piece of the road that we were offered to ride, about five and one could be forgotten, since we tried to evaluate the new system of opposition to onboard pitching. A fairly simple system with oil letters in the cavities (count pumping cylinders) should, in theory, help to stay the body more vertically at: a) passage of the turns, b) the passage of bumps. And interestingly, the difference between the onboard pitching of the old Cayenne, which we missed through diligently created bumps and turns, and the new is quite noticeable.
Another thing is that when we went to the track the very next day, when there is nothing to compare with the moment, it seems that we, in fact, were not offered to us. Yes, Castomer is an ungrateful cattle, at which memory the size of a fish (exactly thirty seconds, as Neil Gaiman said). But Castomer also needs to be understood - he is besieged by sentences, one better than the other. We chose a noble route along the hills, on which there were huge black bulls carved from steel from the labels of a local brandy called Osborne. My Co-Pilot, a former autopilot, Nikolai Kachurin-is interested in whether I have a British visa. Somewhere in the depths of the passport it is found, and we make a volitional decision: through fogs and bad weather (plus 26-what a nightmare in January, not winter, but the devil knows that) go straight to Gibraltar. Today we are going to 4.8 V8 with 385 horses and therefore we can afford not to drive and not experience the apparatus for passengers with the dashboard that our young colleagues love to do so. The new Cayenne, firstly, still attracts the views of the passing and, secondly, confirms its reputation as the desert ship-if not for the landscapes overboard, we would have fallen asleep both. For entertainment, we make a call to a friend: Maxim, well, here we are dissecting on the new Cayenne! Five hundred horses! To which heraldovich calmly answers and on me on the drum, I have five hundred twenty -one horse on S TURBO! They drove into Gibraltar silently. Confident that Porsche will definitely sell these machines for these machines, no less.
