The engine is very quiet while running.Road noise and engine noise are quite well insulated and very comfortableThe car is equipped with a sport exhaust system, so I turn it on. The car is equipped with a sport exhaust system, so I turned it on, and it is still quiet. If it is this quiet, the sport exhaust may not be needed much. At least that's how I felt with the windows closed in the car.
I roll down the windows, move the place to a winding road, and rev the engine a little in sport mode. Kuhn! I hear a nice, full-grained sound that is typical of a V6. It is not so audible in the low and mid RPM range.The sound becomes very good around the time it reaches high rpm. It seems to have less treble than the Panamera 4S with the same engine, and the mid-range is stronger.It sounds like a
I think the engine power is in line with the catalog value of 0-100km/h in 5 seconds. Nowadays, the number of cars that can hit the 3-second mark is increasing, so my senses have become a little numb, but a decade ago, this would have been an overwhelmingly high-performance car.This doesn't make it slow or underpowered.And I don't think I'm likely to be disappointed that I was bumped off on the highway.
Torque delivery is natural, and when the car is turning, the driver is not even aware that it is turbocharged. On the other hand, as mentioned above, when accelerating from kick-down, the torque output seems a little abrupt. This can be a good or bad thing depending on the road conditions and situations, so it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad.
As for handling, it's hard to generalize about the Cayenne because of the many combination patterns of ride height and mode.Driving on the winding roads in the sportiest Sport Plus mode, the athleticism of the vehicle is still "SUV-independent".The roll is minimal, and the driver can clearly feel the tightness of the entire body. Roll is minimized, and the driver can clearly see that the entire body feels much tighter.
Among the Porsche's.The Cayenne S Coupe is the one that has a clear difference in mode.I think.
The driver does not need to be particularly conscious of the fact that the car will take a turn as expected with a firm load just by operating the steering wheel. If you drive alone, you can enjoy winding roads with this car. I would say that in a situation like this, it would be a good idea to use aEven if it is an SUV, it is still a "Porsche".
So what about driving on winding roads in normal mode? I think it would be appropriate to say that it feels like driving a competitor's SUV in sport mode.The roll is larger than in Sport Plus mode, and the car behaves in a more relaxed manner, but this does not mean that the understeer is terrible or anything like that.
It can handle the level of high pace on ordinary roads, and I think it can be driven fast by anyone.
When I used to know Porsche, I did not like the Cayenne.It's a Porsche, but it's an SUV; it's a Porsche, but it's taller and bigger.Such a thing is not a Porsche, and I didn't see the point in going out of my way to buy a Porsche SUV. So, there was a time when I was not very enthusiastic about test-driving a car at the dealership and declined the offer.
But since then, I have actually purchased a Boxster, a GT3, and a Panamera, driven them all from commuting to the track, and have been fortunate enough to experience a variety of Porsches, from air-cooled Porsches to the classic cars of yesteryear.
When you drive a Cayenne after such an experience, you feel that this is not a halfway car.It is a "Porsche" car. It is not a "Volkswagen Group car in Porsche's skin" made simply because of the SUV boom or because it is profitable.I can see now that they took "Porsche" very seriously.The first is the "I" in "I".
So I don't think there is any need at all to feel guilty about not being a 911 if you buy a Cayenne, on the contrary, I would even suggest that if you buy a Cayenne, don't buy it thinking you are buying an SUV.I want you to think that you are buying a "Porsche" and driving a "Porsche," and I want you to be aware of that.I think.
This Cayenne S Coupe is a very well-made 'Porsche'. It is probably one of the most luxurious in the Porsche lineup, the Panamera is also a luxury car, but I think it has an even more luxurious character than that.If the GT series such as the GT3 is the pinnacle of sporty Porsche, the Cayenne series is the pinnacle of luxury.I think.
It has such a comfortable and easy ride. On the other hand, even within that, the solid handling, the mysterious feeling that makes you want to drive wherever you want to go, the overwhelming performance and the super controllable brakes are truly "Porsche" itself.
The Cayenne S Coupe, with its beautiful roofline and low-slung silhouette, would be ideal for those who value acceleration, power, and engine feel at high speeds more than city driving.
