FINALLY – HERE IT is, the very new Porsche Cayenne, the fastest ever super SUV. 4-wheel drive, partly off-road-going combined with – we believe – fast and sharp tarmac handling.

Porsche surprised every one unveiling the Cayenne yesterday, the last press day before the opening of the 72nd Geneva International Motor Show.

These are the first official Porsche-pictures of the new car. Beautiful? Strange? Trendy? Porsche and we are waiting to follow the introduction and the reaction.

With a 4.5-litre engine the super SUV is fast and with turbo and intercooler it is much more powerful than a 911 Carrera (320 hp) an even a little stronger than the 911 Turbo (420 hp). Now we are impatient to know how fast Walter Röhrl will take it around der Nordschleife, Nürburgring.
