Porsche Cayenne by:Danny Lambert

Porsche Cayenne by:Danny Lambert

Frankly speaking, it is the Cayenne that compels me to use the word vehicle in conjunction with Porsche

. Before the introduction of the Cayenne, Porsche only used to manufacture cars. Thus, this model signifies a significant shift in the designing paradigm of Porsche. The Cayenne has the first V8 engine built by Porsche since the discontinuation of the 928 in 1995.

The model range

The Cayenne range, although relatively new, can be divided into two stages of development. The range manufactured from 2002 to 2006 is called the 1st generation Cayenne while the vehicles since have been known as the 2nd generation. The differences between the two are listed below.
