Cayenne Turbo - Fast, Clean, Reliable on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
|
Hello all and thank you for watching.
After 2 years of wonderful ownership, I have decided to sell my 2004 Cayenne. I bought the car with 63,000 miles at Grand Prix Motors in Portland Oregon, and I have used it as my daily commuter in Seattle (highway). it has always been garaged and very very well maintained, and that's important... jump to details below... I usually keep my cars for about a year. I have owned several 911s (964, 996 and 997), as well as many other cars (Range Rovers, Jags,...). It is the first time I keep a car this long and in a very weird way, it is one of the hardest to let go. The thing is the cayenne turbo has multiple personalities. You can dial exactly the type of ride that suits your mood... or the road. The Power is amazing, the supple leather seats are comfortable for hours, the sound system with the added iPod/iphone 5 plug is truly great. But more importantly, with the suspension settings, when you are tired or don't feel like having too much fun, keep it in high mode with the shocks on comfort and just cruise. I would call it the Range Rover mode. If you feel like you need a bit more precision, set it in normal and it will ride like a sedan. A 5 series comes to mind.... Now, set it in sport and kick in the manual transmission and it becomes a very engaging and raging car, especially in higher RPM... thrilling... Not quite a 911... don't believe what they say... but it gives a guilty kind of pleasure to be able to go so fast and turn sharp with a beast like that. A bit about the car. If you do not know much about the cayenne, I would strongly suggest going to rennlist.org and reading everything there is to be read about them. They are amazing cars, truly, but a few things need to be done to them. If you know about the cayenne, please note that everything has been done to this car: Valve body joint, cooling pipes and cooling tank, coils, AC and headlights have been fixed, cardan shaft and much more. I will deliver the car with all the invoices and a fresh PPI done at Akers Porsche in Seattle. Mark knows all my cars and can attest to what was done to the cayenne. This car is a bit special too: note the 20" Original Techart Wheels with Yokohama Parada Tyres with about 80% of life on them. Brand new front rotors and pads (rear are about 60%). I have added the Dension IPhone system (amazing). I have also changed the original steering wheel for a aluminum/leather flat bottom GTS wheel to match the trim. it provides a much thicker and better handle... perfect for spirited drive... driving a normal cayenne with the OEM wheel is a pain after this one! The color combination is pretty sweet too. I have always been a fan of contrast. Silver gray and Tan is really cool in my opinion and it is also pretty rare. One of the wheels unfortunately has a bit a rash on it. I will see to fix it before the car goes. I am a true enthusiast and a long time Porsche fan and owner. I have always been respectful of my cars and new owners who bought from me have always been very happy. You can look me up at 911passion on Rennlist. Thanks for reading and please let me know if you have any questions. Pierre. |

Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.
Watch the incredibly complicated operation of Porsche's new targa roof
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Despite Porsche having claimed the name, targa tops are nothing new. In addition to the semi-roofless version of the 911, plenty of cars in the past have used removable roof panels - the new Corvette Stingray has one (as have prior generations), and this type of open-air experience has been available on past vehicles like the Pontiac Solstice Coupe and Honda Civic del Sol.
But when Porsche took the top off its brand new 911 Targa here at the Detroit Auto Show, it was indeed cause for pause. Simply put, this is one of the most complicated and intricate electronic roof panel removal techniques we've ever seen, save perhaps, for the setup found on the Japanese-market Civic del Sol from the 1990s.
We won't spoil the video for you, but basically, rather than just the roof panel coming off, the entire rear glass area lifts away the body in order for the small section over the passenger compartment to slide back. This has to be incredibly expensive to repair once it inevitably breaks. And we highly doubt you'll be able to operate this mechanism at any speed.
24 Hours of Le Mans an on-and-off love affair
Mon, 24 Jun 2013There was little usual about this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans - intermittent rain in the weeks before the race meant cars didn't get on track as much as they wanted, and intermittent rain during the race meant cars went off track a lot more than they wanted. The race started with a wet track, and one of the records broken because of the random downpours was the number of times the safety car led the field - 11 times this year - although the record of two hours and 53 minutes of lapping behind the safety car, set in 2011, was not eclipsed.
None of that served to dampen the action. With little more than an hour left in the race there were cars still only a few seconds apart fighting for position, leads still changing because of pit stops and everyone drafting anyone they could.
Things didn't go the usual way up front, either - well, not exactly...
