I think I subscribe to every car magazine known to man in the English language and I check every car-related web site regularly, but I have yet to see a road test (0-60 times, etc.) of a 2009 Cayenne Turbo S. I am shocked that I can buy one, but yet there are no reviews. Anyone seen one? Or better yet, anyone that owns one, what do you think? Is it worth the extra coin over a base Turbo?

Much appreciated.

 

4.7 seconds is the value for 0-60mph...

As a porsche owner, I can tell you that factory values are the maximums, you can easily go 4.5 or 4.4secs..

 

I dont have a time but it is fast. my 08 turbo seems very slow compared to it. feels much more then 50hp

 

IMO, Porsche is most conservative with the Cayenne Turbo S numbers. More than any of their other cars. It is a sleeper. I don't know that it's 0-60 is great, but for an SUV, ouch. I would guess that 4.4 is about right on mine. The big deal is the midrange and top end. A regular Turbo is a snail compared to this car. I have a friend who has already done 180 in one of these. Yep, that's over Porsche's drag limited max speed. Some people believe that top speed isn't known, and Porsche just lists a drag limited top speed for no reason. I will say it is hard to swallow the extra $40k for this car right now, when the Turbo market is hugely soft. Mods might be cheaper right now.

 

You still have both?

friend and i test drove one early October; couldn't really tell around Ottawa if it was a lot faster than my CTT.

it

 

I'll be surprise that 50hp in a 5000 pounds SUV will make it "a lot faster". Can't even do that in a 911 these days.

 

Drove both. Could not really tell a difference. The TTS was new, couple hundred miles, and the TT had around 8000 miles on it. Could be the difference, I don't know.

sswim, go buy the one at prestige for 168K, ceramic breaks and all, but damn 168K.
Someone backed out of it, and now it sits....

good luck on them selling that one.
very personal choices...
here's the ceramic breaks though. Awesome.

 

Jace, yep, saw that one. Everything except 4 zone climate control!!!!! Crazy. Nice car, not my first choice though.
