Hi Harry, I am a Audi/Bentley technician. I live locally to the Cotswolds area and I’m regularly at Daylesford. I’m happy to meet up and show you the workings of the V8 4.0. The covers are very easy to remove. Fantastic engine!
@@bag2963 For the performance yes. Early engine can suffer with turbo failures. Mainly due to blocked strainers which there is a recall for. Some thermostat issues, coolant loss issues. Considered one of the more reliable VAG group engines but if there is a failure it will be expensive. C7 rs6 is a sweet spot. C8 has a better engine with improved supporting mods like larger twin intercoolers. Plenty of plastic components on the engine… time will tell how that fairs..
Porsche GT engines have many engine alterations, pistons, rods,turbos, cooling. It’s far far more that a software tune. A lot of hardware has been improved.
Those grab handles are incredibly comfortable for me when cruising. I had one of these on a rainy weekend. It will slide and drift like you cannot believe. Not always ideal
Previous generation Turbo S has the giant stoppers, 570ps/590lb/ft and can tow an A380! £40k-£60k used. Not many about as £120k before options new. Bonus is the engine bay looks fantastic!
Great review, and a perfect conclusion, for me at least, as I am not an SUV person. But watching Harry reviewing SUVs lately is as satisfying as watching some real sports car reviews he does. It's amazing what progress and r&d, can do. Well done! 👏🏼
For many years the Cayenne and Macan looked vastly different. As the Macan became the most popular Porsche vehicle in it's history, little wonder that the Cayenne now looks almost indistinguishable from the Macan, save for the latter's clam shell hood. The name Cayenne is even missing entirely from the rear of the vehicle. Likewise, the Macan's rear taillights were almost indistinguishable from the 911. Porsche knows how to take advantage of marketing it's most popular vehicle attributes. Finally, bravo to Porsche for integrating the tech screen into the dash instead of the stick-on iPad look of almost every other new vehicle.
Yep, the rear of this Cayenne pretty much looks exactly the same as the rear of the series 2 Macan, bumper exactly the same only difference is it has the rear lip spoiler and upper winglet spolier.
I think I might adopt your, ‘it makes me grumpy’, from the fuels video. It makes me grumpy, to see airbags as an option. Especially in the rear, where a child could be. Apart from that, it is, broadly speaking, the NASCAR SUV. And it appears….to be good value 😳
Harry hi from NY! Just a great channel and one of the bonuses is watching Harry take out these cars in the English countryside. A bit of a James Bond feel!
I imagine a few guys from the local council, stood round at that junction seen in the opening of many of Harry's videos, scratching their heads and saying, "I just don't get it. We've replaced this tarmac 4 times in the last 5 years. It's just permanently knackered" 😕
I also had not tried the Cayenne Turbo GT either. So I called Porsche and asked them to bring one over. Wow they know some nasty words! Thanks Harry, great review!
Hey Harry! Not only does the Red button in the middle of the mode selector put the sporty settings on, it stiffens up the dynamic engine mounts. It also permits a little overboost - hence, the time limit.
For the love of Pete... please, PLEASE... When a car is accelerating away from the camera, leave it on a single magnification. It will give us all an idea of how fast it accelerates. When you zoom, whilst the car is accelerating we have no idea how fast it's moving. We lose the vantage point and all perspective. Great film as always. Much appreciated.
Having the status to be able to phone up someone like Porsche & ask them if they can send him such & such car to have for afew weeks must be so good! 🙏
As a former owner of one of these (not a turbo/GT) I came to the conclusion that fast/sporty SUV doesn't make sense to me as a genre. I want luxury, real utility, quiet, and the comfort of an airy cabin. Love the video, and I appreciate the engineering.
Definately more Sport than Utility!😂 These cars probably will be the last of their breed, as though manufacturers have decided to go out with a bang on ICE engined models. With that much power & torque, straight line performance is bound to be electrifying with the handling maybe a bit more Stanley knife than the scalpel like precision of a GT3/4. 😀 A bit quiet on the Farm channel lately, looking forward to the next update there. 👍
Oh, thank you very much for your precious "advices" about this amazing SUV Coupe from Porsche. Listen, dude: this vehicle certainly doesn't need the smart assery comments coming from dudes like you. What did you expect from still a 2.2 tons heavy SUV in terms of "scalpel like precision of a GT3/GT4...??? For what it is, this is simply the fastest and best driving SUV kind of vehicle on the market, period! You won't find nothing better and "cheaper" in this performance range of SUVs. The Urus is just a overpriced mad copy of a sports SUV, and by the way: the Urus is just "customer" in the engine bay, because the Lamborghini V8 is just an old version from the Porsche/Audi developed 4.0 liter V8 engine. If you want the original, you simply have to take the Porsche. Lamborghini is just the V8 engine customer from Porsche/Audi! Of course the Cayenne Turbo GT is more Sport than Utility... What a fucking dumb question... Hey, it's a PORSCHE.... What do you expect?!
Oi! 😃My Cayenne goes off road most days. It's only a lowly Diesel S but it's flipping fantastic. PS the grab handle helps Grannies haul themselves across the Alcantara seat.
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 Yeah. I think the only reasonably good looking car of this type is the BMW X5. You could get a 911 Turbo S for the price of this Cayenne, but you’d never get back what you paid, so I’d do the same as you and pocket the extra 30-40,000£
@George Grellis Absolutely the X5 is better looking. The Porsche is blobby and awkward looking. If we all liked the same thing we'd have no choice of cars I suppose
Good to know that a dual clutch can be clunky at low speeds. Mine is very occasionally clunky at low speeds in sports mode. Wasn't particularly alarmed, but less so now.
Thanks for another great video. I’m a Porsche guy, we have two, and I’m sure I’d agree with your assessment of this Cayenne. I wish Porsche would make an SUV that four 6 footers could go away for a buddy weekend with their luggage, golf clubs and push carts….. like we easily do with our Tahoes and Suburbans. I’d be willing to leave the carts at home. Keep ‘em coming. Loved the new Project 8 track spec video.
That's funny I was going to check if you had tested a Cayenne. I have just purchased a used Cayenne S with the 4.2 V8 diesel. With 377 bhp and a whopping 627lb ft of torque its quite a beast. The original owner spent almost 20k on factory options, including 21 inch wheels, Pasm etc. Im around 40 mins from you.
I wanted to upgrade our Freelander 15 years ago, went to Porsche and they offered a Cayenne Turbo drive experience at Millbrook. The Porsche chap was scathing about Land Rover, but I humoured him as I did 142mph on the banked bowl, the alpine course was incredible, but it wouldn't go up the off road hill... a Freelander next to us went up no trouble, much to the guy's annoyance. That is why you go LR if you do off roading, but on road, the Cayenne was excellent.
Great review! The Cayenne Turbo GT is indeed impressive. And Mrs. M., most brave of you to step right out into the road to film the drive by! You trust your husband implicitly! One tiny nit to pick. The sound balance was off in this episode. When the car was underway, the voice was overwhelmed by the engine so that I could not understand much of what was said. But thanks anyway!
the 1st gen looked like a Toureg because it was a Toureg (slightly repaneled) . when it came out, US dealers only got 2 or 3. when they sold out the salesmen just sent customers down the street to the VW dealer. radiator louvers aren't new to Porsche. the 928 had them.
I looked at one of these, didn't like the alcantara or the four seat option or the messy centre console, the extras should have been included in the price. Long story short, I bought a f pace svr, and it's great.
Great video as always Harry! Hope you do a video on the grenadier soon! A proper SUV. Still don’t understand these sports SUV’s. Buy an alpina if you need practicality with pace.
I should of posted my excitement years ago to each release of your videos. Sunday evening was always waiting for Clarkson, Hammond and May in Top Gear. Once those Lads departed, Top Gear needed a replacement, you are it. I now wait for each instalment of your channel, brilliant.
Fast SUVs aren't my thing at all, but in a sea of naff Mercedes, chintzy Range Rovers and gopping BMWs, it's the only car of it's type that has any real appeal.
@@arvidjohansson3120 while generally I agree about coupe SUVs I'm less bothered by the Cayenne Coupe since it has the same rear headroom as the long roof variant and only sacrifices a small amount of storage space, all of which is up high where it scarcely matters because how often are you really cramming the boot full to the roof anyways? That said I dont particularly get the GT with the deletion of the middle rear seat and the carbon roof and ceramic brakes though. It's a big tall heavy SUV, if you are really concerned enough with the center of mass to delete the sunroof in favor of carbon why not get a panamera instead? It's not like you are going to take this offroad and risk destroying 8k worth of brake rotors running through a mud puddle and you can't tow with it because the center exhaust is in the way of where the tow hitch would go. It just seems like it's compromised in senseless ways.
I think I prefer the Jaguar F Pace SVR you tested the other week. It has a handsome look that the Porsche has not and a more than meaty enough engine, all at virtually half the price.
Really like it and suvs don’t normally do much for me. I have a macan turbo PP which I always thought was pretty good for an suv but maybe I need to upgrade :)
Hi H,Another informative review I did a test drive of the hybrid Coupe, loved it but found it to wide for London roads so staying with my GTS Macan.Any chance of a review on the Macan 🙏
'Just came in from looking at cars here in the US where we seem to like them big; 'Commented to my wife how much I appreciated the size of her Macan S.
Just watched a Carwow vid and indeed, that Porsche is the fastest of them all. Beat the 63 GLE s, the Urus Performante and the X5M. Those rims are a nice touch also:)
@@lukabosnjak3829 I am not sure what you mean? I was talking about cars with a 4-4,4 liter V8 under the bonnet and the cars have 612-666hp/ 750-850Nm. You seem to be referring to that iPhone on wheels. If you really watched that vid, then you should also know that noone was talking about it and all the talk was about the Porsche and the Lamborghini. Cars mate; smell, noise, emotion: CARS!
@@IwillBwaiting 4.4l v8 at this age and day is a toy. Another look at a car is power, technology, practicality and safety heck no wonder that Model X will be sold more than ICE competition (because people who are over 9yo do not want to have reliability issues and spending 6x the price for fuel). Also after accelerating in a Plaid you will be thankful that smell (which you can't even feel anymore), noise and pollution are gone...
Any chance are you going to review the Toyota GR86? I would love to hear what you think of it, comparing to the GR Yaris. Ps. Can't wait for the next Sandraiders special :)
Nice SUV. Probably can never afford one ever. Still waiting on your review of the new GR86 and Civic type r. I know there are already a million reviews on those, but your insights with your experience is really exceptional.
Porsche is Porsche and Porsche has always been like this for me since I had my 928S in the first half of the 80s. Porsche never ceases to impress. The last time I was blown away by a Porsche was with a Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo. My God, it was mindblowingly fast on the German Autobahn :)
While Porsche are throwing cars at you, maybe drop a hint that you would like some time with the Porsche Dakar, I can't think of anyone better to review it, all other reviews I have seen, have just been so called reviewers repeating the Porsche marketing BS. It would be nice to have an unbiased review of it. It has rear seat delete, but nobody has said it you can get luggage back there due to the roll cage, Looks like the welders went OTT that day. Nobody has mentioned its range either, handy to know in the Aussie outback, or the pot-holed riddled Welsh back roads. :)
As always Harry, fascinating to hear your views and share your experience. Surely it has enough performance for any sort of situation. Incredibly able and a bit of a monster but proof that astronomic performance and handling are not always enough to be totally convincing, fuel economy, ouch!😊
Harry…if the Turbo GT is not for you…what do you rate as the best fast SUV? Just curious as I’m considering the Turbo GT, but it 100k more expensive say than a X5M competition or say Cayenne Turbo. Just wondering if its worth the extra money.
The car is stunning however I personally think the bumper and wheel arch plastics on most suvs look better when painted the primary body colour to match the rest of the car instead of the visible plastic or grey with no shine to it
A petrol powered vehicle with limited range? To me, luxury includes setting off in a long trip without worrying about whether the tank is topped up. Real convenience includes as few fuel stops per week as possible.
My boss has bought one of these for his wife I didn't realise how much of a performance car it was until watching the reviews on RUclips. Porche have really done an amazing job 👏

So an off-road version of an on-road car originally conceived as an off-roader?
@@nickgreen2497 Yep pretty much

Porsche is Porsche and Porsche has always been like this for me since I had my 928S in the first half of the 80s. Porsche never ceases to impress. The last time I was blown away by a Porsche was with a Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo. My God, it was mindblowingly fast on the German Autobahn :)
While Porsche are throwing cars at you, maybe drop a hint that you would like some time with the Porsche Dakar, I can't think of anyone better to review it, all other reviews I have seen, have just been so called reviewers repeating the Porsche marketing BS. It would be nice to have an unbiased review of it.
It has rear seat delete, but nobody has said it you can get luggage back there due to the roll cage, Looks like the welders went OTT that day. Nobody has mentioned its range either, handy to know in the Aussie outback, or the pot-holed riddled Welsh back roads. :)
My dream car and was before they made it, been dreaming of just that all my life
Seen through glass has done a review and sounded quite critically
22 inch wheels. Roughly the same depth as a standard UK Pothole.
As always Harry, fascinating to hear your views and share your experience. Surely it has enough performance for any sort of situation. Incredibly able and a bit of a monster but proof that astronomic performance and handling are not always enough to be totally convincing, fuel economy, ouch!😊
Hope you’ll be getting your updated, track-focused Poject 8 to the Nurburgring soon for some lap comparisons. Just don’t stuff it please.
Practicality is quite good …. Said whilst admiring the rear. Where’s the tow bar go ? :)
Great car. When will you get a new G63 on the channel?😅 maybe a G400 as a farm durability test?
At 16:53 it looks like the film is sped up! Comically fast for a 2.2 Ton SUV. Very impressive
I thought the same at every junction shot!
Harry…if the Turbo GT is not for you…what do you rate as the best fast SUV? Just curious as I’m considering the Turbo GT, but it 100k more expensive say than a X5M competition or say Cayenne Turbo. Just wondering if its worth the extra money.
Looking forward to your review of the Ineos Grenadier
Can you let me know when this Cayenne can be powered by broccoli stems ?
What is the point of a ‘sports’ car that is 6 feet tall and weighs 2.25 tonnes?
7’51.7 Alfa Stelvio 2017
The car is stunning however I personally think the bumper and wheel arch plastics on most suvs look better when painted the primary body colour to match the rest of the car instead of the visible plastic or grey with no shine to it
Porsche does it on purpose as well as their silver trims so they can charge you to get rid of it. Brilliant sales but annoying ad hell
i have a 06 Cayenne S and it in my opinion is a Phenomenal SUV and its considered the base edition LOL ❤ it
A petrol powered vehicle with limited range? To me, luxury includes setting off in a long trip without worrying about whether the tank is topped up. Real convenience includes as few fuel stops per week as possible.
My boss has bought one of these for his wife
I didn't realise how much of a performance car it was until watching the reviews on RUclips. Porche have really done an amazing job 👏
I want the Dakar version.
