1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.110
- Hey folks, I'm here in
the 2024 Porsche Cayenne S.

2
00:00:04.110 --> 00:00:05.220
This is quite a car.

3
00:00:05.220 --> 00:00:08.430
I know it looks a lot like
the one that it's replacing,

4
00:00:08.430 --> 00:00:10.512
but it's much different underneath.

5
00:00:10.512 --> 00:00:12.630
(graphics whooshing)
First of all,

6
00:00:12.630 --> 00:00:15.870
return of the four liter
V8 to the Cayenne S.

7
00:00:15.870 --> 00:00:17.730
Gone is the twin turbo V6.

8
00:00:17.730 --> 00:00:19.860
With that, you get about 470 horsepower

9
00:00:19.860 --> 00:00:22.050
at 440 pound feet of torque,

10
00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:23.730
dispatched to all four wheels

11
00:00:23.730 --> 00:00:26.850
through a Porsche 8-speed transmission.

12
00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:29.490
Now, it's not a double clutch transmission

13
00:00:29.490 --> 00:00:32.430
because it's a Cayenne, it needs to tow.

14
00:00:32.430 --> 00:00:34.371
And tow, it can.

15
00:00:34.371 --> 00:00:37.530
Can do about 7,700 pounds worth of towing.

16
00:00:37.530 --> 00:00:40.860
Today I am up in the
canyons above Los Angeles

17
00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:45.090
and I am gonna find out
how well the driver's SUV

18
00:00:45.090 --> 00:00:46.142
really drives.

19
00:00:46.142 --> 00:00:48.990
(engine whirring)

20
00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:53.040
So we're in sport plus mode,
full manual transmission ish.

21
00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:55.230
You know, not really manual,
but you know what I mean.

22
00:00:55.230 --> 00:00:58.879
And let's see what 470
German horsepower can do.

23
00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:01.710
(engine revving)

24
00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:02.543
Boom!

25
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:07.760
So it's not a PDK, but the
transmission's still very fast.

26
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.239
(engine revving)

27
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:12.660
And it hustles.

28
00:01:12.660 --> 00:01:13.950
This car weighs a lot.

29
00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:15.120
I'm gonna put it right down here

30
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:16.515
'cause I don't wanna get it wrong.

31
00:01:16.515 --> 00:01:18.660
(engine revving)

32
00:01:18.660 --> 00:01:23.550
And I mean, I've driven
a lot of the sporty SUVs.

33
00:01:23.550 --> 00:01:26.850
SUVs that in theory are
more sporty than this.

34
00:01:26.850 --> 00:01:29.310
The Alpinas of the world,

35
00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:31.800
the Jaguar SVRs,

36
00:01:31.800 --> 00:01:33.873
BMW M cars, stuff like that.

37
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:36.990
This feels better.

38
00:01:36.990 --> 00:01:40.920
I mean, I don't know how Porsche was able

39
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.920
to get this much steering
feel through an electric box.

40
00:01:46.020 --> 00:01:49.126
I mean, it just feels fantastic.

41
00:01:49.126 --> 00:01:52.380
(engine revving)

42
00:01:52.380 --> 00:01:53.910
I mean, you feel absolutely everything.

43
00:01:53.910 --> 00:01:56.360
You get so much confidence
going around a corner.

44
00:01:58.495 --> 00:01:59.340
(engine revving)

45
00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:04.340
I mean, it has no right
to boogie this much.

46
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.260
And once you get outta the corner,

47
00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:10.380
I don't know how Porsche
rates its horsepower.

48
00:02:10.380 --> 00:02:12.600
I don't know what dyno they use

49
00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:14.943
or whatever it is, what methodology,

50
00:02:16.170 --> 00:02:18.810
but there's no way it's making
less than 500 horsepower.

51
00:02:18.810 --> 00:02:20.700
It's just not possible.

52
00:02:20.700 --> 00:02:23.163
They're lying. The
Germans are lying to us.

53
00:02:25.628 --> 00:02:27.690
'Cause this thing is so fast.

54
00:02:27.690 --> 00:02:30.570
Zero to 60 won't knock your socks off.

55
00:02:30.570 --> 00:02:31.860
It's like four and a half seconds,

56
00:02:31.860 --> 00:02:34.350
which I know we're super spoiled nowadays.

57
00:02:34.350 --> 00:02:38.310
Four and a half seconds
is really fast, obviously,

58
00:02:38.310 --> 00:02:40.650
but it's the fact that it keeps on pulling

59
00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:43.050
once you get past 60.

60
00:02:43.050 --> 00:02:44.890
That's really impressive to me.

61
00:02:44.890 --> 00:02:47.640
(engine revving)

62
00:02:49.170 --> 00:02:52.110
I mean, it's a freight
train with an excellent,

63
00:02:52.110 --> 00:02:55.320
excellent V8 burble and soundtrack.

64
00:02:55.320 --> 00:02:57.780
It just really sounds wonderful,

65
00:02:57.780 --> 00:02:59.394
especially with the sport exhaust.

66
00:02:59.394 --> 00:03:02.611
(engine revving)

67
00:03:02.611 --> 00:03:05.700
You get wonderful farts up and down,

68
00:03:05.700 --> 00:03:08.220
which if you're into that, that's...

69
00:03:08.220 --> 00:03:10.020
What more could you want?

70
00:03:10.020 --> 00:03:13.260
Brake feel is super firm.

71
00:03:13.260 --> 00:03:15.390
It's got huge rotors with red calipers

72
00:03:15.390 --> 00:03:18.513
that will bring this thing
to a stop really fast.

73
00:03:19.830 --> 00:03:21.090
Definitely more than enough brake.

74
00:03:21.090 --> 00:03:23.010
You're never gonna feel
like you're running out.

75
00:03:23.010 --> 00:03:23.843
That's for sure.

76
00:03:26.160 --> 00:03:27.840
This car is not cheap.

77
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:32.840
Now, the Cayenne S is far from base.

78
00:03:33.660 --> 00:03:35.973
It starts about 95 grand.

79
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.730
This one, as I'm driving it, is $132,000

80
00:03:41.730 --> 00:03:43.230
and it doesn't have a sunroof.

81
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.580
Annoying people will
call that a slick top.

82
00:03:47.580 --> 00:03:49.560
Shut up, it's just you
don't have a sunroof

83
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:50.643
and that's whatever.

84
00:03:52.380 --> 00:03:54.900
I would've liked a sunroof, but it's okay.

85
00:03:54.900 --> 00:03:59.190
What you do get for the 132
grand is very nice paint,

86
00:03:59.190 --> 00:04:00.120
which not everyone will like,

87
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.920
but I really think it's pretty.

88
00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:05.283
This red interior four wheel steer.

89
00:04:06.180 --> 00:04:09.030
Porsche likes to speck its
cars in a very interesting way.

90
00:04:09.030 --> 00:04:11.380
And this one's definitely
specked to be sporty.

91
00:04:12.810 --> 00:04:15.510
Now, I don't know how many
people are spending $132,000

92
00:04:15.510 --> 00:04:18.420
on a car that is missing
stuff, like a heads-up display

93
00:04:18.420 --> 00:04:22.320
and a sunroof, but it's
definitely a driver's car.

94
00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:24.543
I mean, you got little carbon fiber bits.

95
00:04:25.770 --> 00:04:29.790
Like I said, the sport exhaust,
all sorts of fun, fun stuff.

96
00:04:29.790 --> 00:04:33.300
Porsche really knows how to
put a car together, you know.

97
00:04:33.300 --> 00:04:35.160
it just feels absolutely fantastic.

98
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.720
Every single thing feels very high quality

99
00:04:38.760 --> 00:04:43.053
and just nice and worthy
of a very high price tag.

100
00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:47.100
There have been a lot of
competitors that have come out

101
00:04:47.100 --> 00:04:50.167
since Porsche came out with
the Cayenne in like '02.

102
00:04:51.891 --> 00:04:54.840
You know, obviously there's
the BMW, your Mercedes,

103
00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:56.583
your Jaguars, or Audis.

104
00:04:57.510 --> 00:05:00.513
Hell, even the Lamborghini
Earth, which this is based on.

105
00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:05.250
And this will give any of
them a run for their money

106
00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:08.910
in terms of drivability, I
mean, it's just fantastic.

107
00:05:08.910 --> 00:05:12.573
So folks, that is the Porsche Cayenne S.

108
00:05:13.410 --> 00:05:15.030
It's a really, really good car.

109
00:05:15.030 --> 00:05:17.373
It's a really, really fast car.

110
00:05:18.300 --> 00:05:23.300
It's a luxurious car and it's
definitely worth its price.

111
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.530
I just wish I had enough money to buy it.

112
00:05:27.660 --> 00:05:28.803
That's all for today.

113
00:05:29.940 --> 00:05:30.773
Thanks for watching.

114
00:05:30.773 --> 00:05:35.342
