© 2007 KenRockwell.com Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (note: this is my wife's car. I can't aford this stuff; I haven't bought a new car since I got a new Ford back in 1986.) [size=+3]Introduction The 521 horsepower, 531 foot-pound, bi-turbo V8 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is the world's most insanely powerful and quietly refined SUV. It's still more powerful than anything from Porsche in 2008. This is my wife's minivan. She got it a couple of months after we had our first baby because Porsche was giving these away in January 2007 to make room for the less powerful 2008 models that started arriving in March, 2007. I can't afford this stuff, but she's a sucker for a deal. Why anyone needs 521 hp for carting around the kids and hauling big stuff that won't fit in her car to and from the dump is beyond me, but God bless my wife for getting the least wimpy minivan around. How powerful is it? It's the most powerful V8 on the planet, and far more powerful than most V-10s and V-12s. For instance, the $412,000 2008 Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé's 6.75l V-12 has only 453 hp, and the 2008 V-12 biturbo Mercedes SL600 only has 510 hp. (At least the 6.75l 12-cylinder Rolls has the same torque, but only at a lower RPM.) The 2007 BMW B7 Alpina has only 500 hp and 516 ft-lb of torque from its blown V-8, while the once mighty 2008 Mercedes S63 has only 518 hp and a measly 465 ft-lbs of torque. The 2008 Bently Arnage T barely makes 500 hp from it's 6.75l engine, also with twin turbos, but the $338,085 2008 Bentley Azure only makes 450 hp from its 6.75L twin-turbo V-8. Most of these other cars will cost you a quarter milion dollars or more, but not the 2006 Cayenne Turbo S, with over three times the power of a full military HMMWV Hummer H1! Of course it's more powerful than most 80,000 pound class-8 tractor-trailer, like newest the International ProStar, which usually comes with only a 15-litre (912 CID) 450 hp Cummins engine (Car & Driver, Nov 2007, p. 151.) The 2008 V-10 Dodge Viper finally manages to wheeze out 600 hp and 560 ft-pounds or torque, but it's pretty sad that all the Viper can do with almost double the displacement (8.4l) and two more cylinders is manage an extra 79 hp and 29 ft-lbs over the Porsche. With that much displacement, the Porsche would put out over 1,100 hp and 990 ft-lbs of torque. Funny, too is that the Porsche is a truck and the Dodge is supposed to be the sports car. What's going on today? The 2006 Cayenne Turbo S was so over-the-top that there is no Cayenne Turbo S for 2008 - just an ordinary, less powerful 2008 Cayenne Turbo. All you can get, regardless of price for the 2008 model year is the ordinary Turbo (non-S) version, with barely 500 hp. The 2006 Cayenne Turbo S was only available for part of 2006. It is already a modern classic. We love ours, especially because we got it, brand new, for almost $30,000 below sticker price! These were the supercar deal of the century in January 2007; in fact, Kelly Blue Book hadn't realized the new ones were being given away, so they still rated the trade-in value of ours as more than we paid brand new! We couldn't have afforded not to get it. The 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is also the most powerful Porsche offered today and far more powerful than lesser SUVs like the Escalade that scream WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL on the window sticker, but have to qualify their measly 403 HP by limiting it to a class to exclude the Porsche. Spotters Guide: Unlike non-turbo Porsche Cayennes, the Turbo S has huge front grilles for cooling and intercooling. Turbo versions have testicular bulges atop the hood, which is flat on the non-turbo models. The Turbo S comes with nothing less than 20" wheels, needed to clear the gigantic 15" diameter front brake disks.
