Other than the name, it's not a bad ride. The price is extremely high, but it's one hell of a Cayanne!

"Driving this hulk is as cool as you'd expect"...

Warm reception? I have never heard a Porsche referred to as a "hulk"

it's the weight thing that's disconcerting. sure more torque is good (597 ft/lb vs. 475 original), but isn't all a bit excessive? i mean, I think putting a dvd screen in a track car, is wrong.... not me. Just my 1 pfennig's worth.

Bloody ugly. Rinspeed should be sorry for what he does to Porsches. Did anyone see that 911 he did a conversion on? The guy is just plain wierd!
