The Black Hot Cayenne Pepper

They're practicing for rehearsals


What you're looking here are four very pointless SUVs who think they're super but they're not. Someone claimed that it had a very powerful V12 diesel, someone told that it has a supercharged Jaaag (sorry about that) engine, and others...um...others...well, they're way too complicated to ask.

When they move, someone came to ruin their party...

Whoa! Who's that?!

Catching up!

This guy's hard to catch!

What SUV was that? It feels like...a Porsche!

Who's messing the party?

Welcome to the Dark Side

Meet the new Cayenne

Well...this is what it caused this whole party pooper. Meet the brand new Porsche Cayenne. It's part of the all new Forza Motorsport 4 Porsche Expansion Pack and on paper, this is somewhat a bit "super" and it still remembers that the "Sport" in the Sport Utility Vehicle really hits the spot. Really? Does the Cayenne still remembers the Sport word even though that this new model still retains the reputation of being the Porsche 911 of SUVs?

Whoa! Looks like a giant Galapagos tortoise!

Well, no. Even if you call it the Porsche 911 of the Sport Utility Vehicle regime, it wasn't worth superb as it seems. When you handle the new Cayenne, it still takes a lot of effort and some G's to push it away from the corners. Interestingly, when you go a bit faster, the steering's a bit rock solid and it will simply yell "What are you doing?! Stop being so stupid! I'm not a supercar, I'm a sport utility vehicle!" Yeah right. The Cayenne is just an SUV with some nonsense whim but here, what you find here has a 4.8L V8 turbo engine that came from the Panamera Turbo I tried the other day. With such, 0 to 60mph in about 4 seconds, 0-100mph in 9.7 seconds, and top speed is...well...um...278km/h? Kind of... Well anyway, the gearbox, this new Cayenne has...um...eight. Eight gears. The new Cayenne has an eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission and it can shift faster in 0.15 seconds for maximum agility and enhanced pleasure. Eight gears, huh? That's the same as the Lexus IS F but we're not gonna talk about these, right?

The new Cayenne erupts with fury

SUVs like the BMW X6 M, X5 M, Audi Q7 V12, and the Range Rover Supercharged seems to be uncanny. They were fine about their credentials but for the new Cayenne, it has even more credentials than those. As for the pricing, the Cayenne Turbo is most costly than those so you should better work hard to get one. It may be pricey than those sports-oriented SUVs but with the weight that is way lighter than the X5 M, X6 M, Q7 V12, and the Range Rover, you can getaway from those before they discover you're not.

A mile in a day with the new Cayenne...

What bothers me most about the new Cayenne was the design. The Panamera's front looks like the helmet of a Haven Trooper but here on the new Cayenne...it's too hard to describe but anyway, it's rubbish. Looks like a Cayman...on obesity. It even has the most complicating dashboard only a rocket scientist would figure this out and there are way too many buttons on the dashboard, can't figuring out where you wanna start, turn the TCS off, set to Sport Mode, or something something something dark side. Despite being too complicated in design terms, the Cayenne does acts like a 911 even though it has 4WD and the turbocharged engine from the Panamera. This car deserves to be called a "super".
