PORSCHE CPO with $132K
Original Sticker…………….
2011 Porsche CPO Cayenne Turbo with Porsche Warranty until 100k miles or April 14, 2017. Nearly every conceivable option and all the important ones - as shown on the build sheet (see photos for details)………beautiful car…… owned by a Porsche devotee, no stories, always garaged, no paint, smoke etc. What an amazing vehicle. I purchased this CPO Cayenne from “The Exchange” – an authorized Porsche dealer located just outside Chicago. I had been driving a 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo “S” that I was completely in love with (was still flawless with 118k miles…..) until I drove the 2011 Turbo……….an incredible leap forward in every way – performance, aesthetics, electronics, comfort and the BURMESTER - if you like music just wait to you hear this stereo - it is rated as the #1 audio system available in a stock auto….. and see the interior………. Spectacular. This vehicle has had no paint, no smoking, no bodywork etc. Please note that this is a “used car” there are a few door dings and small stone chips that are hard to see and do not show up well in the photographs and a small spot the size of a nickel that is also hard to see in the photos on the rear bumper when someone "unknown" backed into it in a supermarket parking lot (leaving me with a cracked tail lens that I replaced). Therefore I give the body a 9.5/10, the vehicle mechanically is a 10/10 – the interior is flawless and is easily a 10/10 and actually with the two-tome option it is better than 10/10 – purely gorgeous. I have both the summer carpets plus Porsche winter mats for the car and oil/filter and new tires were all done by Porsche at 29,000 miles – car was always Porsche serviced. There is no curb rash on the wheels and the car is completely ready to be driven. The mileage in the photos is the actual mileage as of today however I still use this car as my daily driver hence I added miles yet to be driven and this is the difference with the listing mileage. I welcome and encourage all inspections, test drives etc. – and here is a piece from Car and Driver on the 2011 Turbo…….. feel free to send me your questions - Eric 2011 Porsche Cayenne
Turbo Would purists have cried foul
if the first Cayenne had been this good? The torch-bearing mobs of outraged
911 purists have long since retreated from the gates of Porsche’s various
corporate outposts, so we can only speculate that had this new Cayenne been the original offering back in 2003—rather than the
ungainly original—initial response might have been more uniformly positive. Then again, maybe not. Be that as it may, here’s the Turbo
version of the second generation, distinctly more attractive and better in
about every way imaginable. Better in terms of usefulness, as in roomier.
Better in terms of operating costs, as in improved fuel economy. Better in
terms of dynamics, as in a more sophisticated balance between ride and
response. Defying Physics Although the Cayenne’s improved
appearance and superb interior are the elements that will attract eyeballs, a
glance at the specs is also informative. The second-gen edition is bigger in
almost every dimension. It has a longer wheelbase (growing from 112.4 inches to
114.0), is longer overall (from 188.9 to 190.8), and is a smidge taller (from
66.8 to 67.0). The only diminished dimensions are width (from 77.0 to 76.3) and
track, which shrinks at both ends—from 65.4 to 64.7 in the front and from 66.0
to 65.2 at the rear. Yet the most remarkable entry in
the new Cayenne’s specifications chart has to do with mass. Yes, like the other
members of Clan Cayenne, the new Turbo is bigger. And like the others, it’s
also substantially lighter. The last-gen Cayenne Turbo S, which finished second
in our most recent comparison of
high-end super-utes—falling to the BMW X5 M
and besting the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 and the supercharged Range Rover
Sport—weighed in at 5305 pounds. This latest test unit is 178 pounds
lighter. And it’s 498 pounds lighter than the Cayenne Turbo we tested in September 2007. For sure, it’s certainly no wraith, but in
an automotive world that registers weight gains with almost every vehicle
redesign, score this one as laudable for Porsche. The Cost of Pruning As you’d expect, the Turbo’s
rigorous diet entailed painstaking reengineering of various components—a new
aluminum valve-timing adjuster, for example, is 3.8 pounds lighter than the
previous piece—and more comprehensive use of lightweight materials, which add
up to a minus at the scales. As you’d also expect, the use of lighter-weight
materials, such as aluminum, magnesium, and composites, adds up at the cash
register. The base price for the previous
Cayenne Turbo was $100,875, and $127,275 was required for the Turbo S. The new
Turbo starts at $106,975, and there is no Turbo S version, at least not yet.
However, aside from customers with an insatiable desire for excess in every
category, almost everyone else should find that this vehicle satisfies his or
her need for speed. The Numbers The new Turbo delivers its go power
with distinctly improved fuel economy. Although the output of the 4.8-liter
twin-turbo aluminum V-8 is unchanged from that of the first-gen model, at 500
hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, the combination of less weight, numerous mechanical
and electronic tweaks, and a new eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission
gives the new Turbo fuel-economy ratings of 15 mpg city and 22 highway, up from
12/19. Proving once again that reduced mass is at least as important
as horsepower in all-around performance, the new Turbo’s performance rivals the
old Turbo S’s (which had 550 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque) at the test track: 0
to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, the quarter-mile in 12.4 at 113 mph. The Turbo S hit
those marks in 4.1 and 12.6 at 112, respectively; the previous Cayenne Turbo
needed 4.8 seconds to reach 60 mph and 13.3 seconds for the quarter, at 107
mph. Seduced, as usual, by the hydraulic
torque surge of the Cayenne’s twin-turbo V-8, we achieved 15 mpg during our
driving. But it’s clear that a more temperate use of the throttle would produce
better results. Beyond three different driver-selected modes (normal, sport,
and off-road), the eight-speed Tiptronic is programmed to adapt to the driver’s
throttle behavior and adjust its shifts accordingly. Regardless of the chosen
mode, the transmission’s shift response rivals that of many dual-clutch
automatics. Mass Management and the Inside
Story In the aforementioned comparison
test, all hands were impressed by how well the Cayenne handled its substantial
curb weight, and the biggest Porsche impresses even more in that regard in its
lighter second generation. Cornering attitudes are level, grip is tenacious at
0.90 g, transient response is eager, and ride quality is firmly compliant, even
in the adjustable suspension’s sport setting. Beyond that, the steering is
tactile and quick at 2.7 turns lock-to-lock, a marked improvement over the
slightly numb setup in last year’s Turbo S. Braking, always a Porsche strong
suit, is outstanding at 158 feet from 70 mph. If there’s any fault to be found
with the Cayenne’s dynamics, it’s in the ambient noise levels, as in, “Omigod,
I’m doing 90 in a 50 zone!” It’s quiet in there – too quiet. We previously described the
interior of the Cayenne Turbo S as “princely,” and that applies here as well:
outstanding materials, intelligent control location and design, and
form-fitting seats with a vast range of adjustability. The forward sightlines,
enhanced by slender A-pillars, may be best in class, and vision in all quarters
is excellent. Almost as important, there’s more room inside—including for
second-row occupants, augmented by adjustable seats—and more room for cargo, a
weak point in the previous Cayenne. The Value Question Given the state of the world
economy, fuel prices, and mutinous rumblings from the green sector, it’s hard
to defend vehicles like this. Even though the Cayenne's towing capability
remains strong at 7716 pounds, its fuel economy has improved, and its general
usefulness index is higher, the idea that something weighing more than 2.5 tons
needs to cover a quarter-mile in 12.4 seconds is a tough sell to the guy
driving a Prius. For that matter, it’s a bit of a tough sell among the
super-utes, where the BMW X5 M checks in with a base price of only—only—$86,575. Does that disparity bother you? If so, we suggest you avoid test-driving the Cayenne Turbo. We suspect that after a half-hour behind the wheel, your sense of value will be altered |

Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS caters to a very specific customer [w/video]
Mon, Jan 12 2015Porsche is happy to cater to some very specific buyer demographics, and the brand's newly unveiled 911 Targa 4 GTS at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show is the perfect example of that tendency. The sports coupe is aimed at the customer who wants open-air driving without a full convertible, all-wheel drive traction and a little extra performance, all wrapped in a sporty package. Launching in the US in late-April, 2015, for $132,800, plus a $995 destination charge, this high-performance Targa benefits from all of the goodies from Porsche's GTS line. That gives it a 3.8-liter flat-six boasting 424 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of twist, and the choice of either a seven-speed PDK or seven-speed manual. The model also gets the Sport Chrono package, PASM, 20-inch wheels and a sport exhaust. Picking the PDK means the Targa 4 GTS can hit a top speed of 188 miles per hour and sprint to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. Opting for the manual makes the run to 60 take a few more ticks at 4.5 seconds and scarcely cuts the top speed to 187 mph. The Targa 4 GTS is more than just about boosted performance, and shows off some handsome styling tweaks, as well. It wears a modded front bumper with an extra opening to cool the middle radiator. Plus, the wheels are 20-inch units from the 911 Turbo S, and the Bi-Xenon headlights get smoked coverings. Inside, drivers are held firmly in place by Sport Plus seats covered partially in black Alcantara. Porsche apparently sees a hole in its lineup that a higher-performance Targa can fill, and here it is. Look below for a video of intricate top doing its fascinating dance and read the German brand's full press release about the its latest take on the venerable 911. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The new 911 Targa 4 GTS More powerful, dynamic and exquisitely styled To mark the 50th anniversary of the 911 Targa, Porsche is offering this very popular model in the more powerful and dynamic GTS version for the first time. The targa concept of the 911 Targa 4 GTS delivers very safe driving enjoyment with all-wheel drive and a rollover protection bar; it also delivers open-air fun with a targa top that stows fully automatically. Contributing to a boost in dynamic performance are the 430 hp (316 kW) GTS engine together with the standard Sport Chrono package, PASM chassis, 20-inch wheels and a sport exhaust system.
Audi rumored to leave top-tier endurance racing after 2017
Fri, Oct 14 2016Volkswagen's ongoing diesel scandal is turning out to be an expensive problem for the German automaker. With a recent settlement expected to cost the company up to $14.7 billion, the company is scrambling to find ways to save cash. In light of this, Audi could be pulling out of the highest class of endurance racing, which it has dominated for years. A report from Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, indicates that Audi has already finalized the automaker's departure from the World Endurance Championship's top-tier LMP1 class after the 2017 season. Another report by Autocar cites an unnamed insider to corroborate the LMP1 exit rumors. The report fingers the VW Group's ongoing diesel scandal's financial fallout as the main culprit for Audi bowing out of LMP1. The move to could also be due to the group's decision to move away from diesel technology. Audi's LMP1 car, the R18, utilizes a V6 turbo-diesel engine. The Porsche 919 Hybrid, on the other hand, uses 2.0-liter turbocharged V4 engine that runs on gasoline. Audi has won the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans 13 times since 1999, making Audi an unstoppable force in endurance racing. Porsche, Audi's corporate sibling, reentered endurance racing with a LMP1 competitor of its own in 2014 and won the constructor's championship last year. Audi's decision to leave LMP1 could give Porsche a shot at creating its own Le Mans-winning dynasty. Autocar reports that Audi is expected to continue fielding cars in other WEC classes, like GT3 and GT4, and perhaps the brand will even enter Formula E. We reached out to Audi for some clarification on the matter and a spokesperson stated that the rumors were "pure speculation at this point."

Porsche picks Maria Sharapova as brand ambassador
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Russian-born tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has just inked a three-year deal with Porsche to be its brand ambassador, a position that will put her on a global campaign for the German automaker. The 26-year-old athlete isn't new to the role - she previously signed a similar three-year deal with Land Rover in 2006.
"Maria Sharapova is an exceptional athlete. She combines top performance in her sports with elegance and power. These are precisely the qualities that are embroiled in our sports cars," explained Matthias Mueller, CEO of Porsche AG, during the announcement. "Her profile and charisma are an ideal fit for Porsche. She is also highly respected around the world and enjoys an outstanding reputation," he added.
Some consider Porsche's choice of a female tennis player as its ambassador interesting, if not surprising. The automaker has traditionally marketed its vehicles with a masculine edge - Sharapova and the sport of tennis position the brand in a different light - likely an intentional decision. Do you think Porsche's choice was a good one? If not, who would you choose as its global ambassador?
