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. |

Magnus Walker turbocharges his love for the Porsche 911
Thu, 31 Oct 2013He's had his fill of early, long-hood Porsche 911s - he owns at least one from each model year, from 1964 to 1973 - so Magnus Walker, a fanatic of the Stuttgart, Germany-based automaker, recently set his sights on the early Porsche 930, as documented by this XCAR video called 'Turbo Fever.' Let us translate: pretty soon Walker will own all of the earliest, non-intercooled 911 Turbos - at least one from each model year, starting at 1975 and ending at 1977 (though the 1975 911 Turbo Carrera never officially was imported to the US by Porsche, so it'll be tougher to find one Stateside).
Any Porsche enthusiast can tell you why they love their car, and it often comes down to the small details that differentiate one model year from another. One of many examples is the mid-'80s 928. They look similar, but the basic difference between a 1984 Porsche 928 S and a 1985 928 S (US-spec) is two camshafts and 54 horsepower, though each car's V8 has its own pros and cons. We'll let Magnus Walker tell you all about the 930 and what makes the first three years special, as he's becoming quite the expert on early, air-cooled 911s. When the nearly 15-minute mini-documentary was filmed, which you can view below, he already had added four early 930s to his collection!
Evo pits BMW M3 against Porsche Macan in drag battle
Sun, 24 Aug 2014If you want to move five passengers in very rapid fashion and you've got a $75,000 budget, two newly introduced four-door models immediately come to mind - both are the highest performing vehicles in their respective segments. But which is faster off the line, to the 60-mile-per-hour benchmark or flat-out over an even longer run? Evo took both to paved aircraft runway to find out.
In lane one we've got the all-new Porsche Macan Turbo, which boasts a twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 rated at 400 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. The Porsche is fitted with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, and the 4,244-pound crossover has the traction advantage of standard all-wheel drive. In lane two is the all-new BMW M3, powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It is also equipped with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, but only the rear wheels of the 3,595-pound sedan are driven. Both the BMW and Porsche arrive with launch control, which helps to remove driver error off the line.
Which automaker's launch control system is better off the line? Does all-wheel-drive grip give the crossover the advantage it needs to overcome its adversary's power-to-weight advantage? Will aerodynamics factor into the results? Which would you put in your garage, and why? The video may surprise you.
Porsche Panamera Turbo S vs Ariel Atom Supercharged in unlikely drag battle
Thu, 01 May 2014David versus Goliath battles are always an enticing proposition, because they offer the chance to watch scrappy underdogs take on their bigger rivals. Evo has set up just such a battle with its latest drag race between the minimalist Ariel Atom 3.5 Supercharged (Ariel Atom 3 pictured below) and the plush Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
The two cars couldn't be more different. The Atom personifies Lotus founder Colin Chapman's well-known axiom: "Simplify, then add lightness." Most of the car doesn't even have a body; it's just an exposed frame with a 310 horsepower supercharged Honda four-cylinder mounted behind the driver. On the other side, there's the Panamera Turbo S. In the latest version, it packs 570 hp and 553 pound-feet from its 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 and it features all-wheel drive. Of course, all of that comes with a significant weight penalty.
Off the line, the differences are even more apparent. The Atom doesn't have any of the Porsche's technological wizardry, so launching it challenges the driver to build the revs and let out the clutch just right. The car screams like a banshee as it goes, though. The Porsche is the exact opposite. Its launch control system lets the driver hold down the brake, get on the throttle and accelerate away in just the right way.
