One owner. This was my personal daily driver for 7 years. Never abused, never taken off-road and well-maintained
with regular service. Always premium grade lubricants. This car purchased new had many options driving the sticker
to $130K in 2008. Today's version of this car sells for between 175K and 210K. It has a high-performance Porsche
Turbo engine estimated to have between 600-610hp. Chip and high performance exhaust installed by dealer boosting
HP. Xenon headlamps, premium sound system, leather multi-directional heated and cooled seats with matching suede
headliner and moon roof. Heated steering wheel, multi-level suspension, tiptronic / auto transmission. This
Cayenne is in excellent condition, It is not perfect, but close...it is an extremely nice car. I actually hate to
part with it but I am running out of car space. Would be a great second car for someone. Note - it takes premium
fuel and it likes gasoline a lot, but it is a fun car to drive. Lots of muscle and a nice resting profile. Best
Cayenne body-style in my opinion. This car is ready for many more fun miles. Happy to answer any questions. Note:
Photos show a missing rear left head rest. I have the headrest but in order to fold down the rear seats, the head
rests need to be removed.
A 2008 model review by the Fort Worth Star Telegram is below:
"The ultra-high-performance model is the Cayenne Turbo, which lists for $93,700. It has a twin-turbo version of the
4.8-liter V-8 engine, rated at 500 horsepower and 516 foot-pounds of torque. EPA estimates are 12 mpg city/19
highway -- quite respectable for this much power.
This model can reach 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds, and has a top speed of 171 mph. Helping to improve power and
fuel-efficiency on the new models is Porsche's all-new direct fuel injection technology for the Cayenne. It's
standard on all three models. The Cayenne is a rather heavy SUV that can carry five adults and all of their
luggage, so the performance figures are quite impressive. Curb weights range from 4,762 pounds for the V-6 with
manual gearbox to 5,191 pounds for the Turbo model.
The manual gearbox is offered only with the V-6 engine; the S and Turbo models come only with the six-speed
Tiptronic S automatic, which is optional on the base Cayenne.
For those who want to get the best performance out of the Cayenne, the Tiptronic transmission offers manual
shifting without having to worry about a clutch. Paddles on each side of the steering wheel allow for quick up- and
downshifts.
The car also comes with a "sport" mode that lowers the automatic transmission's shift points for quicker
acceleration."

Auto journalist ordered to pay big money for blowing up Porsche 917 engine [UPDATE]
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Racecars blow engines all the time, but a Porsche 917 isn't just a run-of-the-mill racecar. British automotive writer Mark Hales reportedly borrowed a 917 from 82-year-old former Formula One racer David Piper for a magazine article, and mechanical tragedy ensued. Nobody is arguing that the engine failed after being spun to 8,200 rpm. However, Hales was warned not to exceed 7,000 rpm, says owner Piper, and the affair landed in English courts with Piper seeking £50,000 - over $79,000 US - in reimbursement funds for an engine rebuild and loss of use of the car while it was being repaired. Judge Simon Brown ruled in favor of car owner Piper, putting Hales on the hook for £110,000 ($174,000) including legal fees - a whole lot of money in any language.
Hales says the Porsche suffered a mechanical fault while lapping that allowed it to slip out of gear and over-rev. Piper wasn't convinced, and sought to have the repair paid for by the guy who broke the racer, saying "If you bend it, you mend it." It's not like Hales is a novice driver, having seat time in both professional and amateur races over 30 years, notching about 150 wins, but even the best drivers sometimes miss a shift, and that's what Piper contended happened to his car.
According to reports, Hales has had to sell most of his valuables to pay his lawyers and is now facing bankruptcy with the ruling against him. Members of the Pistonheads website are trying to coordinate a collection to help him out, as well.
Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
2015 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival
Thu, Aug 13 2015Considered the big kick off of the major festivities surrounding Monterey Car Week, this year's Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival certainly didn't disappoint. For those unable to make it to the California coast, our own Drew Phillips was on hand to snap some of the beautiful vehicles on display for this gorgeous gallery. Held annually at the Monterey Jet Center, the event is always a feast for the eyes by collecting planes, a gang of exotic supercars, and some the top cars crossing the auction block over the coming days, like a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The Ford GT both new and old was a major attendee at this year's party. Among them, the Petersen Museum brought along an original racecar and a GT40 MKIII to promote an upcoming exhibit. The classics were complimented by the latest version that has continued to keep tongues wagging. The GT wasn't the only classic with a modern update there. Singer used the posh event for the North American debut of its stunning restoration of the Porsche 911 Targa. Shelby American was also at the revival for the public unveiling of the 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe. On the more modern front, Honda was in attendance with the future NSX and one of the McLaren F1 cars that the company's engine powers. For further proof of the ritzy folks that attend this soiree, Pagani and Koenigsegg both had stands to show off their extremely quick wares.
