This link might work. It doesn't catch the pop-up or graphics (obvious comments, I know) but good enough to read the article. It takes a little creative thinking to read through the very literal translation.
From what I've read here and elsewhere, the tweaks to unleash 500 neddies will be pretty simple. The article goes on to make a connection I'd overlooked -- the Carrera GT V10 will fit into the Cayenne and the Cayenne drive-train could withstand the power torque of that motore (after all that same transmission handles considerably more torque when mated to the V10 Turbo-diesel in the Touareg ... 750Nm ... mmmm ... torque ... mmmm) Obviously it will be years before Porsche "goes there" but I'm sure Alois et al will not resist the temptation to buy that V10 as a spare part (surely less than US$100K) and convince it to push the Cayenne -- with a visit to the VW parts department, it should be possible to use some of the TDi parts to make it happen. I guess that would make a definitive statement in the world of fastest and most powerful SUV. And probably costing half the price of the C-GT.
Cheers,
ps. note the "less than neutral" pose of the Cayenne Turbo photographed in the article ... oh dear ...
