From Depreciation to Domination: How a $13K Porsche Cayenne Turbo Became an Off-Road Legend

Рет қаралды 77,003

Күн бұрын

► The journey for FCP Euro to choose the “Ultimate Affordable European Off-Road Tow Rig” started with some key criteria. It needed to be powerful, have a high towing capacity, be a beast off-road, and it needed to be affordable. With 500 horsepower, a 7,716-pound tow capacity, active sway bars, air suspension, 4WD, locking diffs, an abundance of ground clearance, and 92% depreciation coming in around $14,000, our 957 Cayenne Turbo checked every one of those boxes.
This is a story about why the Porsche 955/957 is one of the most versatile, capable, and affordable 4x4 overland tow rig platforms out there, regardless of what you throw at it…

Normally time behind on trends. It makes me happy to know I was so far ahead that I sold my lifted cayenne turbo tow rig before it was ever popular lol

Even 3 years ago when we built this car felt early on into the now massive trend its become. The growth in this scene has EXPLODED over the last few years!

Just picked up my 14th Porsche, a 2005 955 Turbo, AND I live about 2 miles from the NEW Gilbert/Mesa warehouse!!!! Will be doing videos on my 955CTT as well. Loved seeing this 957 up in Sedona

Great video and what insight as to what goes on with these. I have a 2006 Turbo S that is super clean but, unfortunately, is going to need another good home soon. I'd definitely offer it up as a project car for something like this - no doubt. This would be a way better outcome than just dumping it on the street or a dealer.

@racingtogreen2023 7 ай бұрын

Definitely wondering about towing after the lift. I'd like to tow my Cayman to SCCA solo Nats with my Eurowise lifted Q7. Doncha luv VAG electrical connectors ? Do I want to know how much the compressor was ? 2009 BMW Z4 top hydraulic motor was $4k... Luckily, only $650 to rebuild. So, Bro, I heard you like fake beadlock bolts, so I beadlock bolted your beadlock bolts... I have massive rockrail envy... Love these vids, keep them coming. Doesn't look like overlanding is going to do anything but grow. Eurowise has earned all the business they get. They are killing it.

@fcpeuro-media 7 ай бұрын

We've towed thousands of miles with this cayenne lifted on both 32's and 33's with no issues from it. The compressor was less than 1/4 the price of that on your Z4! The triple beadlocks were a wild look haha, we have since swapped on some Braids with their "Beadlock system" atleast functional!

I've been looking at getting a Cayenne as a daily/track car tow rig. I'm trying to decide between a diesel with higher miles or the gas V6 with lower miles. How well do you think the base V6 can tow ~2015 MY

@Skylinef22 8 ай бұрын

Base v6 is stout. It’s a A VR6 engine so it’s got a healthy amount of torque. Pretty reliable too. It will tow great. But the diesel will tow better. The diesel emissions stuff will cause some heartache and can either run perfect or be problematic with high mileage. The naturally aspirated V8s are pretty reliable too, I have a ‘10 GTS and its engine is solid, even when the previous owners weren’t the greatest with upkeep.

@sarahdell4042 8 ай бұрын

@@Skylinef22Timing chain and guide issues are fairly common and require an engine out service. Later vr6 have the oil pump nut issue. The vr6 is slightly more reliable than the v8 and requires less maintenance but it’s a heavy vehicle with not much power with the vr6 IMO

@fcpeuro-media 8 ай бұрын

You already hot some great insights above! You'd be totally okay towing with a VR6, that said the diesel or V8 variant is the sweet spot for sure. We had a local customer towing his racecar with a Manual VR6 955, no air suspension , with no issues!

@hadrienlf23 8 ай бұрын

Never get the VR6, it is slower than a base 90's civic. I had most of them and the best is by far the V6 diesel. Fast, economical, ultra reliable and has a large range !

It’s a cool idea but I feel like the first quarter of the video is just making excuses why it’s ok for it to be so clapped out. 135k isn’t that many miles. Let’s get back to when premium meant lasts forever.

It's clapped because it's gets used.. nothing pretty lasts off road. Not Toyota, not Porsche.
