  • As my 911 has just been put to bed for the winter, it's time to get out and have some fun in the Cayenne. In this video we look at how the Base version of the Porsche 958 Cayenne stacks up against the Turbo. We have my black 2011 Cayenne Base (958.1) alongside my friend's white 2016 Cayenne Turbo (958.2).
    A huge thank you to Chris for the use of his Turbo and also for being a good sport, making his debut appearance in one my videos here which I hope won't be his last!
    As ever, thanks for all the comments and support. Have a great time over the festive period and I hope you enjoy the video! HO HO HO!!

    The base is exponentially more reliable and a fraction the maintenance cost.

      That's actually a good thing, it means the ZF is really as quick as they say (even though it could never be as quick as a PDK).
      Moreover a ZF is definitely a better choice than a PDK when it comes to towing and offroad, that's why it's a standard equipment on Cayennes.

    In terms of looks I much rather prefer pre-facelift models, esp. the GTS. They just look so much more like classic Porsches with the triangular bonnet and those flat headlamps. The only thin I prefer about 958.2 are the rear light.

    Great vid. I owned 957 base, and drive 958 turbo. It’s a huge difference and absolutely different cars. Also, winter tires significantly slow the acceleration.. you should try turbo in summer 🙂✊🏼

    I never knew that song was an ode to base model Porsche’s and a dis towards the Turbo. Makes total sense now!! “It’s all about that base, ‘bout that base, no Turbo!!”
    I’m a sucker for red interiors. I very recently traded my Accord for a Lexus GS F Sport with the red interior. Had the red interior in my e46 M3. Do want a red interior in my future 997, but not complete red, just seats and door cards similar to that Cayenne Turbo. Anyways, looking forward to the next video, especially since I wasn’t expecting anything until next years driving season. In the meanwhile, Merry Christmas!!

    2016 958.2 turbo with a $400 completely tame burger jb4 tune and it's a sub 4 second 0-60. These are massively overbuilt and underrated. with a softronics tune they are screamers. More reliable than a chevy truck, even with air suspension and twin turbos

    Surely of the 60+ comments someone has commented > you wont be disappointed when the Turbo requires addtl shop attention > certainly a premium paid on a few levels for the turbo...as it should be, of course.
    2011 S Cayenne V8 here & it's plenty for me > no pricey air suspension to go out either > some say the S is the sweet spot & I have to be in agreement... especially w/the V8.
