SUV Turbocharged
What would you do with 350rwhp All Wheel drive German SUV that spanks Audi wagons ?
Be fun to Win Rally races with 4 people. I like the Laguna blue color with real fat rubber and free flow exhaust w/ cold-air intake.

Hmm, can one really say "rear wheel horsepower" on an "all wheel drive" vehicle? In anycase no one knows yet what the Porsche SUV will be able to do against the Audi wagons. It's not like those RS4 engines are lacking in horsepower.

Dear Kaz,
Very good point. It is hard to get people to understand that with permanent AWD that not all the HP goes to the rear. I exclude viscous couplings from this discussions. Real AWDs have three diffs,(kidding guys). Mind you, many of the 4X4 clubs often exclude the viscous coupling fitted Subarus and Porsches and others.
Audi have a new wagon coming out soon. The RS8. I do not know if will be sold in the USA. The RS4 has been stopped. 6030 only produced.
Ciao,
Adrian

Guys, I completely forgot about the upcoming Geneva motor show and the new Audi RS6.
450HP 4.2L V8 Twin Turbo. Sound familiar,

PS: I have just received my brochure for the Geneva Motorshow and not one picture, not one write up on the Cayenne. It is mentioned just once, in a short statement from the CEO at Porsche.
