I assume there's a Porsche track car in the trailer?

Right. That is the exact story that Porsche wants every owner to recreate.
It looks like a great race trailer (I'd like to know the make and model) and the storage and presumably seating on the roof is a great advantage.
But unless there's two porky track cars crammed into it and the trailer is made out of wrought iron, there's no way that rig is laden to 7000+ pounds GVW.
I'd guess the trailer is around 2000lb. Even a 996 is around 3500lb max. 2000lb+ in spares and tools? Eh? Does he have 1000gal of water and fuel on board?
The 7700lb tow capacity of the Cayenne might be tested by a 36ft trailer sport yacht on a triple axle (where most people use the 10,500lb capacity of the heavy duty pick-ups) but for a race trailer, it's hardly an issue.
Note the slight "nose up, tail down" attitude of the Cayenne. It's got a little too much tongue weight. This rig needs "level ride" bars on the hitch
That "Titanium" colour has a "no nonsense" look to it. Of course, putting a badge on the hitch cover (when did you get to photograph the car with the trailer off the hitch? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> is a little Chevy-Pep-Boys-like behaviour.
Anyway, nice rig.
