It was a clever idea, and a well-executed one too. The Cayenne SUV concept was born out of desperation - Porsche was close to collapse when it was conceived- but it catapulted the firm into the big league. And single-handedly kick-started the market for genuinely sporting utility vehicles.
The Cayenne S got the 340bhp version of Porsche’s thumping new 4.5L V8. It was quick and, as reviewers quickly discovered, surprisingly sprightly and agile for such a big car.
The key when buying one of these capable cars is condition and maintenance. On those criteria, this low-mileage 2007 model scores. It has had 11 service stamps by main dealers and marque specialists to 71,316 miles - it is now at 73,355 miles - plus additional work to the coolant system in recent times. An advisory-free MOT to October 2025 underlines the condition.
This Cayenne is the extra special version with more leather than your standard farm, it has leather door cards, hand stitched leather dash, it is practically dripping in leather. The standard Cayenne's usually have the horrible plastic leather looking trim, this however is the real deal. It boasts the upgraded Turbo wheels and and the upgraded Turbo Quad Exhaust Pipes.
Finished in classic silver with a well kept and highly specified black leather cabin, this is a very presentable example of a practical and potent load lugger.
