    Ironically, 2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo only makes 29 more hp than the old Turbo S tested here but has has a full 1.5 second faster 0-60 time (3.6 vs 5.2). It all comes down to the weight. The current one is a bit more than 400 lbs lighter.

    The camera work/editing (especially the airborne drop shots) in this is just incredible. Add in some epic 'Uruk Hai/Treebeard getting pissed off' soundtrack and you've made an all time classic.
    The fact that Hammond crashed the Porsche into one of the camera crew's cars on the way back just makes it even funnier

    @macnerd93 Top Gear did a review on car safety, which concluded that the faster the car, the more likely it is to avoid a crash thanks to its lower center of gravity and better brakes. 4x4's are the least likely to avoid a crash because evasive actions can lead to a roll-over and they require significantly more braking distance. 4x4's are therefore more likely to be involved in accidents, but very good at dealing with them once they happen. It's a catch 22.
