The Porsche Cayenne is a five-seat mid-size luxury sport utility vehicle. It is the first V8 engined vehicle built by Porsche since 1995. Porsche intended the Cayenne to be the new benchmark for SUVs. The Porsche Cayenne’s frame and doors are sourced from Volkswagen, who also use the frames and doors for the Volkswagen Touareg model. All other aspects of vehicle design, tuning, production are done in house at Porsche. VW also supplies this ‘E platform’ to Audi to underpin their Q7 model. The Cayenne shares only its V6 engine with the Touareg and Porsche’s version is substantially modified.
