I had a ‘23 turbo GT delivered in November. I drive it every day. In standard setting it’s quite comfortable and moderately polite. Sport and sport plus are strictly for serious fun. I expected this car to be a fast turbo cayenne when I ordered it. Obviously, no GTs to text drive. I was very wrong. It’s utter madness, crazy motoring joy, and Porsche engineering mysticism. And you’re right. You can’t get off the floor for less than an additional 35k in options. I added PTS velvet purple. Best and most fun car I’ve ever owned.

[@AntoniusTyas]

Audi's Velvet Purple? On Cayenne Turbo GT? Sounds like a punchy combo.

You mentioned it's a boring interior, I totally agree. But, it's Britain. People will only order extremely boring black-black-black inside out cars. I'm struggling finding one Cayenne Turbo S with a good spec. They have plenty of good colours but all the people choose is shades of gray and black. It's a shame people are so dull nowadays.

"Nobody needs it". With that logic, nobody needs sports cars, luxury cars, supercars, or hypercars either. Everyone should be driving Dacia Sandero econoboxes because realistically no one needs anything more from a car other than the ability to get you from A to B.

I am sick and tired of hearing car reviewers lambast the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT as something: " utterly useless." I own a farm in S.W. Virginia (truly God's Country...with his roads as well) with a gravel road as it's entrance. My 2018 GT3 (manual) has to garaged off site as it cannot accomplish the trip in and out. So, the Cayenne fits the bill EXACTLY! I am sure there are many others out there who would agree. Open you mind's eye gentlemen.

In my mind this is the extreme performance version of the performance version of the performance SUV with the "sporty" body style (and we could go considering there are endless trim levels). Loved the video, but I continue to fail to understand the reason behind paying what this is worth instead of a base a cayenne and little land, or base cayenne and an m3. I also don't understand the boring color combos, as disappointing as most RS6

[@yebo56]

"the sense of fear .. in other road users". Could you expand on what you mean by this?

[@markdance574]

Having owned fords , Vauxhalls , V W’s , Subaru’s , a good few BMW’s and a merc I thought it time to treated myself to a Porsche .When I purchased my pre owned Porsche approved 2017 Cayenne S E-Hybrid - the Porsche dealership had some really nice cars obviously in its showroom - the Cayenne GT really looked great and indeed I was already thinking I hope that to be my next car ….. , however…….. while my cayenne does well ish on fuel I very much doubt the GT does - the new cayenne chassis is also smaller than my cayenne - which means my kids have less space . The Porsche dealership leant me the new cayenne in base form- some 95k of car I might add , it was indeed very good but I went through lots of fuel which eventually took the shine off it. Jay what are your thoughts on my 2017 s e hybrid ??

Kinda grudgingly respect the car but would never buy one. Bit like a hire car you often get SUV's that drive amazingly and eat miles but can't bring yourself to actually dip in your pocket. Exhaust tuning makes me smile as my TVR and my 4.6 Range Rover deliver noises for real out of just bits of pipe without the need for science. PS don't judge smokers some of us do some of us still choose to do. One day it may be petrol super car drivers that people stare at in disgust.

[@fraserwright9482]

I like that you are open to reviewing this car honestly. I am getting a Ferrari Pursanque next year and British car reviews of luxury SUVs are very bitter from the outset. These coupe SUVs are very abrasive to some car journalists. But I don't think they realise they are not the target buyer being a middle aged guy who likes cars. It's mostly Women and indeed rich women who enjoy these types of cars. This Cayenne GT is not a car aimed at Ron Burgundy or Chris Harris because they don't buy SUVs. This is the modern female version of a 1972 Chrysler Imperial 2 door or in Britain the Jensen interceptor..It answered every problem with more.

[@Gigithinker2]

I just came back from the Maranello factory tour last week. I witnessed the Purosangue and it’s straight V12 being assembled and my god ! You’re absolutely a very lucky man. It’s a different league . Congrats !

[@imBugra]

I totally agree with you. Some of the reviewers are going wild on why brands make these sort of cars. It's irritating. I'd love to have a 911 instead of a Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid, but I'm buying this car to do high speed intercountry cruising throughout the Europe, from Great Britain to Turkey. Not everyone has to drive their cars in the crappy UK roads, risking others lives and the driving licence. It offers a good balance of quality, performance, and practicality. Congrats for your Purosangue, you can't go wrong with it!

There is no reason for you to hate the Cayenne Turbo GT. What you should hate is the boxes "car enthusiasts" create. They go "it is an SUV so it should carry 20 people and scale Mt Everest". Just no, look at it without the labels and by most metrics it outperforms a Bentley Coupe

[@jackboulter4901]

A great video, and a great review. The cayenne turbo gt is easily my favourite performance suv at the moment just for the sheer crazy factor of it. Also, I suspect it's probably faster than the claimed numbers say as in the power and 0 to 60 time as this porsche, and they do love to understate the performance.

[@ruk2023--]

I don't think they understate it, they test their performance figures in more real-world scenarios rather than on a drag strip with sticky race tyres and a minimum amount of fuel. They are saying "this is the worst you can expect" when they quote them and underpromising and overdelivering is a great way to ensure buyer satisfaction.
