2014 Porsche Cayenne WOW

[Rick D]

So I was at one of my customers today, they do mostly highend cars. So they have a 2014 Porsche Cayenne twin turbo 550hp in for some repairs!! I guess it was way to much power for the new owner as it only has 400 miles on it and $15000.00 in damage!! :weld: :superhack:

But here's what got me looking besides the window sticker of $184,000.00 :disgusted:

Check out the $8800.00 brakes on this bad boy!!! Carbon Ceramic!! Nice!!!

Yep, those are nice beasts for sure. Almost bought a GTS earlier this summer, but sacrificed a little and ended up in a Trailblazer SS, put a coil-over suspension on it and bam, 22k vs 42k....me like the bow tie....but Porsche's have always done it for me....just cant do it right now with three in college...

are they water cooling those things these days or are they still air cooled like the vw bugs they came from?

I hope this question was made in jest.:rolleyes:

Only $8800 for the brakes? I used to work at a shop that developed a carbon ceramic brake kit for the new GTRs and it retailed for $16000. And that was just rotors, hats, and caliper brackets. It reused the factory Brembo calipers. :lostmarbles:

Nice car for sure, but the price is a tad ridiculous.

And no, they are no longer air cooled. They stopped that with the 993 in the late 90's.

We have one (2013) --- Gwen drives it --- personally I think it's a pig so I don't understand the too much power comment. Yeah 550hp seems like a lot but not given the weight and I don't care for the torque down low either. Compared to my S63 AMG (660 ft lbs of TQ) the Porsche is a big ho hummer....


Having said that --- She ordered a new GTS version for euro delivery yesterday. SHE L O V E S them! Go figure.... tells me it's a soccer Mom's SUV. :tiptoe: :lol:

The '63's are awesome cars. Musclecar sounds coming from a brute that can dance on the track like a car much smaller and lighter. I love driving the GT2/3 cars, but the '63's are stealty sledge hammers.
