  • 2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo

    Back in the 1980s, Porsche knew it could build an SUV. And it knew a Porsche SUV would sell well. It finally got around to building that first Cayenne in 2002. Instincts: correct. Since then, it’s sold more than 770,000 of them. It’s so successful, Porsche now sells a smaller Macan SUV. An epoch-making moment looms in the not so distant future. The new 2019 Porsche Cayenne makes it nearly certain that, at some point in the next few years, the big sport-utility vehicle will become the best-selling Porsche of all time. The TL;DR here? The new Cayenne is fluent on both the smooth and...

    2019 Porsche Cayenne deep dive

    It’s the very antithesis of Porsche. Or is it? The Cayenne, an SUV, is the sports car company's second best seller, behind another SUV, the Macan. It may be an SUV, but it’s still a Porsche and that means it has to be sporty. Porsche is introducing the third generation of the Cayenne...

    2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo takes familiar route to high performance

    Porsche knows chemistry. Take an engine from the Porsche Panamera Turbo that can reach 150 mph (ask me how I know), and add the third-generation Cayenne. The solution is the 2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo that appeared Tuesday at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA). Or maybe it's alchemy because the...

    Porsche provides insights on design of the 2019 Cayenne

    One could be forgiven for thinking Porsche just hit copy on the company’s Xerox machine when designing the latest Cayenne, but there’s actually a lot of subtlety and fine details that make the third-generation model unique. A new video on the design of the latest Cayenne, which arrives...

    2019 Porsche Cayenne adds power, tech, restrained look

    In the past couple of years, Porsche has redesigned the Cayman and Boxster (adding the 718 designation to each), introduced a twin-turbocharged 911 Carrera, and turned the Panamera from one of the most unattractive cars on the road into one of the best looking. Good. Great. Wonderful. And none of...

  • 2017 Porsche Macan GTS First Drive

    As capable as the Cayenne and Macan are, the Porsche SUVs will never get track-focused GT variants like their sports car siblings. That’s the word of Porsche engineer Andreas Preuninger, who leads development of the automaker’s GT sports cars like the 911 GT3 and Cayman GT4. Speaking with Car and Driver, Preuninger explained that the GT cars, not to be mistaken with the GTS cars which already include Cayenne and Macan GTS models, are always derived from actual competition cars. “The credibility of the GT car is based on direct bloodline to the race cars,” Preuninger...

    Porsche Cayenne sets a world record by towing an Airbus A380

    It's always fun to watch something small try to tow something very large. Remember back in 2012 when a Toyota Tundra towed the Space Shuttle Endeavor? That was a pretty amazing sight. But it pales in comparison to what a Porsche Cayenne just pulled off. There's a new world record for heaviest...

    Porsche planning coupe-like SUV based on Cayenne?

  • Porsche parked poorly
    Poor Porsche parking job video leads to hit-and-run arrest

    To call this parking effort "poor" is underselling it quite a bit. What we have here is, in fact, one of the worst parking jobs ever. It seems a young resident of Vancouver was attempting to park his Porsche Cayenne in a garage. That should be a boring and simple task. This round peg should fit in...

  • 2015 Porsche Macan

    In a move that would surprise no one, Porsche says it can see its Macan crossover take over the top sales spot from the best-selling Cayenne. For a number of years now, the Cayenne has been a volume leader for the German automaker. Now that the Macan will get a full calendar year of sales under its belt in 2015, Porsche expects it to wrestle the crown away from its larger sibling, Reuters reports.
