Cayenne Turbo - Fast, Clean, Reliable on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
Hello all and thank you for watching.
After 2 years of wonderful ownership, I have decided to sell my 2004 Cayenne. I bought the car with 63,000 miles at Grand Prix Motors in Portland Oregon, and I have used it as my daily commuter in Seattle (highway). it has always been garaged and very very well maintained, and that's important... jump to details below... I usually keep my cars for about a year. I have owned several 911s (964, 996 and 997), as well as many other cars (Range Rovers, Jags,...). It is the first time I keep a car this long and in a very weird way, it is one of the hardest to let go. The thing is the cayenne turbo has multiple personalities. You can dial exactly the type of ride that suits your mood... or the road. The Power is amazing, the supple leather seats are comfortable for hours, the sound system with the added iPod/iphone 5 plug is truly great. But more importantly, with the suspension settings, when you are tired or don't feel like having too much fun, keep it in high mode with the shocks on comfort and just cruise. I would call it the Range Rover mode. If you feel like you need a bit more precision, set it in normal and it will ride like a sedan. A 5 series comes to mind.... Now, set it in sport and kick in the manual transmission and it becomes a very engaging and raging car, especially in higher RPM... thrilling... Not quite a 911... don't believe what they say... but it gives a guilty kind of pleasure to be able to go so fast and turn sharp with a beast like that. A bit about the car. If you do not know much about the cayenne, I would strongly suggest going to rennlist.org and reading everything there is to be read about them. They are amazing cars, truly, but a few things need to be done to them. If you know about the cayenne, please note that everything has been done to this car: Valve body joint, cooling pipes and cooling tank, coils, AC and headlights have been fixed, cardan shaft and much more. I will deliver the car with all the invoices and a fresh PPI done at Akers Porsche in Seattle. Mark knows all my cars and can attest to what was done to the cayenne. This car is a bit special too: note the 20" Original Techart Wheels with Yokohama Parada Tyres with about 80% of life on them. Brand new front rotors and pads (rear are about 60%). I have added the Dension IPhone system (amazing). I have also changed the original steering wheel for a aluminum/leather flat bottom GTS wheel to match the trim. it provides a much thicker and better handle... perfect for spirited drive... driving a normal cayenne with the OEM wheel is a pain after this one! The color combination is pretty sweet too. I have always been a fan of contrast. Silver gray and Tan is really cool in my opinion and it is also pretty rare. One of the wheels unfortunately has a bit a rash on it. I will see to fix it before the car goes. I am a true enthusiast and a long time Porsche fan and owner. I have always been respectful of my cars and new owners who bought from me have always been very happy. You can look me up at 911passion on Rennlist. Thanks for reading and please let me know if you have any questions. Pierre. |

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
Magnus Walker turbocharges his love for the Porsche 911
Thu, 31 Oct 2013He's had his fill of early, long-hood Porsche 911s - he owns at least one from each model year, from 1964 to 1973 - so Magnus Walker, a fanatic of the Stuttgart, Germany-based automaker, recently set his sights on the early Porsche 930, as documented by this XCAR video called 'Turbo Fever.' Let us translate: pretty soon Walker will own all of the earliest, non-intercooled 911 Turbos - at least one from each model year, starting at 1975 and ending at 1977 (though the 1975 911 Turbo Carrera never officially was imported to the US by Porsche, so it'll be tougher to find one Stateside).
Any Porsche enthusiast can tell you why they love their car, and it often comes down to the small details that differentiate one model year from another. One of many examples is the mid-'80s 928. They look similar, but the basic difference between a 1984 Porsche 928 S and a 1985 928 S (US-spec) is two camshafts and 54 horsepower, though each car's V8 has its own pros and cons. We'll let Magnus Walker tell you all about the 930 and what makes the first three years special, as he's becoming quite the expert on early, air-cooled 911s. When the nearly 15-minute mini-documentary was filmed, which you can view below, he already had added four early 930s to his collection!
Porsche's Tesla-fighter could have 600 hp and 300-mile range
Sun, Feb 22 2015Will this be the Ragin' Pajun? Some details on the all-electric "Tesla fighter" from Porsche have been revealed by UK's Car magazine, and, to put it bluntly, the model that has preliminarily been dubbed the 717 will be an absolute beast when it hits the road as early as 2019. With some technological help from parent company Volkswagen, Porsche is planning a model that will have about a 300-mile single-charge range, and a version that may deliver as much as 600 horsepower. The four-door will also be four-wheel-drive, with one electric motor per axle, and four-wheel steering, all for the sake of consistency, Car says. Additionally, unlike the Tesla Model S, with its battery packs running flat along the floor of the vehicle, the 717's battery layout will be far more complex, complete with bulkhead walls and 108 separate battery pouches. Last month, German publication Auto Motor und Sport reported that the Panamera's junior variant, aka the Pajun, was indeed going to be an all-electric affair. Still, beyond a few digital renderings and an estimated single-charge range of 250 miles, few details were revealed.
