The Car That Saved Porsche and Then Dominated Rally - A Porsche Automotive Documentary

The story of the first generation Porsche Cayenne is not very well known. This vehicle is without a doubt one of the biggest unsung heroes in modern auto history. Porsche did not know what to offer when developing the Cayenne, so the offered the best of everything. This in turn spawned in entirely new class of vehicle in itself, the Premium High-Performance 'Off-Road' Luxury SUV. Notice the emphasis on the "Off-Road" part; that's because unlike modern luxury SUVs, the 955/957 Porsche Cayenne was actually built for off-road performance, endurance and durability.., so much so that it absolutely dominated Rally.
Watch for details regarding the full development of the Cayenne and how it saved Porsche, while becoming one of the most successful performance vehicles ever made.

Great video on the 955, as a 2005 955TT owner I have to agree this truck is amazing even at nearly 20 years old!

[@SpecMDriven]

The 955, especially the TT is truly a hidden gem!

I bought a 955 turbo last weekend. In the one week I’ve had it, it has reminded me why I’ve always had a weird love for first gen Cayennes

955/957 Cayennes are real legends. Drive unbelievably well and are built like tanks. I sold my original Turbo and should have never...I recently bought another and I'll never sell it. It's really a top notch vehicle

Dang, makes me wish I had got one of these instead of my problem riddled 22 Tundra. Great vid!

I had no clue off the off-road pedigree the Cayenne had going for it. I only knew that it saved Porsche. It’s definitely been getting more popular in the overland scene. After watching this I think I need to add one to the stable!
