The Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT is 50% Genius, 60% Stupid. I Love It.

[@cranialnerv]

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.

[@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!

"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.

[@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.

Just a note, fans running hard out after the car is off will indeed affect something - battery longevity. No doubt the battery(s) in this are horrifically expensive, so just another thing to consider in the maintenance costs of this - which will be insanely high - because they way you make a big, heavy car handle so well is by putting a lot of extra stress on bushings, ball joints, bearings and brake components - which will wear them out very quickly.

I had a Cayenne S on loan for a week when my Macan was in the garage. At 440 bhp it was stupid fast, quicker than my smaller & lighter 350 bhp Macan in a straight line, But the Cayenne S is stodgy & wallows all over the shop. So 14:55 judging by what James says about this halo Cayenne it’s got lots of trickery to stiffen it up & as such nothing like the lower end models, not surprising really given the price difference. Personally if I had the cash to buy one I’d save up my pocket money for another fortnight or so & get a Urus.
