Default Anyone looking forward to a Cayenne S Transsyberia?

Not a lot of details available on the Web site.

I'd like to understand how it differs from the "standard" Cayenne S.

I can't wait. It sounds very like a helicopter, 100,000 spare parts flying in formation, this time from the Porsche unused parts bin.

I have a deposit and am #1 at my local dealer.
I'm still waiting to see if it comes in different colors however.

A truly amazing vehicle that while underappreciated now, will be THE definitive example of the Cayenne in the future.

The entire unibody is forged titanium (produced in Russia, the only country with large titanium fabrication) giving it incredible torsional stiffness, and much like the SR71, it gets stronger with time and heat cycles......yielding a crash structure second to none.

The engine is produced by the Motorsports Department and shares most of its internal parts with the RS Spyder, yielding dyno numbers and performance WELL in excess of any published specifications.

The hydraulic system is a triple redundant self sealing type, so the vehicle can run with multiple hydraulic leaks/failures and not be a concern.

The suspension system is the world's first implementation of the Bose active suspension concept, 25 years in development and allows the vehicle to travel at speed with no discrenable motion experienced by the passengers. It also allows for active suspension and aerodynamic coupling for high speed performance in excess of that capable of the GT2.

Or, it could simply be a standard POS Cayenne S with paint, decals and a lightbar (built on those leftover roof rails).


Either act, act NOW, do NOT delay, quantities are limited.

The website lists 3 colors in addition to that pimp daddy black orange.

IIRC, as long as the lights are behind the windshield line, they're OK.
Can't have them 911 Rallye style......I can't believe I just used 911 in this forum
