2008 Porsche Cayenne
January 17th, 2007
When the Cayenne spy shots made their way around the internet, many people speculated that the bigger air intakes carved out of the facelifted bumper implied more power. What do you know, those people were right. The official word out of Stuttgart is that, along with a facelift, the Porsche people hauler will be the recipient of mild gene therapy in the form of a new line of direct-injection gasoline engines, a first for Porsche vehicles.
600HP Cayenne Turbo by TechArt Magnum
August 16th, 2006
Based on the already brutal 450bhp Porsche Cayenne Turbo, the Magnum’s bodywork and engine have been extensively reworked by renowned German Porsche specialist, TechArt, to deliver a whopping 600bhp.
The latest powerhouse from the Teutonic tuning firm will be on display at this year’s theatrical car-fest, MPH’06 (Birmingham, NEC 26-29 October and London’s Earls Court 2-5 November) in the Sony Ericsson Studio.
The new TechArt machine pumps out its Pagani Zonda rivalling power thanks to a heavily modified twin turbo V8 engine. Despite weighing in at over 2300kg, the Magnum is capable of accelerating to 60mph in a Lamborghini Gallardo humbling 4.5 seconds.
