Porsche’s big Cayenne SUV was quite a sensation when it burst onto the scene in 2002. The firm’s ‘family’ looks were instantly recognisable but could this really be a Porsche; all big, macho and high-riding? Looking as though it was capable of going right off-road like no Porsche before?
Driving it was a sensation. Anyone used to driving the firm’s traditional sports cars - the 911, or Boxster for instance - could not fail to be impressed at how this a large vehicle offered such handling and performance - all while carrying the family. And the shopping. At speed. It was exhilarating. And it had wonderful, stylish, slightly quirky interior too.
