Porshce Cayenne Turbo S-KILL

Driving home last night a new Cayenne Turbo S came up beside me in traffic and a young guy driving it. We hit a light and I could tell he wanted to play but we were set back by a little traffic and play. We got on to a 4 lane road and lined up at 2 sets of lights.......Beat him easy each time. We rolled down our windows for a quick chat and he complained about his Turbo lag not helping at all.....and he said "you got great bang for your buck in that thing"

Just letting the beast run a bit....

it is not often you get a chance to play with a Cayenne Turbo S driver. Usually they are just doing the speed limit.

Hopefully the Porche guys won't whine about a lesser car beating them like we do when beaten by the SRT8 jeep. Why so suprised? Same result as evo got with some pretty skilled drivers in both vehicles.

well if the guy driving the Cayenne wants to go in the bush I would just let him go on his own. Mud & dirt don't appeal to me nor my beast

a couple of things...
1. If you sat in my passenger seat you would believe it.
2. If you have read all the reviews/comparisons you would already know that the ML63 is rated faster than the Turbo S, especially in the 0-60.

I even had my traction control on, but my AC was off.

skill required to make an automatic 4wd car go fast?

Step 1. Press right foot to floor and wait.

Hope the Porsche came with a driving instruction course.

Whatever I feel like
Great kill. Take it from someone who has both, the ML63 will beat a Cayenne Turbo S from a stop pretty easily, especially if the Cayenne is not power brake launching. On freeway rolls it's anyones game, although the edge normally goes to the ML63. That is unless the ML63 lines up against my Cayenne
