The 2018 Porsche Cayenne will ride on a shortened version of the Volkswagen Group’s MLB-based SUV platform which in regular length will debut in the 2015 Audi Q7 and will also underpin the Bentley brand’s upcoming SUV.

  • Chris Harris behind the wheel of the Porsche 918 Spyder

    The Porsche 918 Spyder deserves the credit for forging the hybrid supercar territory trodden by the likes of Ferrari and McLaren, even if the car's venture to market has been a long one.

Now, finally, the car is making its way to eager buyers around the globe. That means the first reviews are filtering in, and one of the best comes from British journo Chris Harris.
