    I'm not thrilled by it. Dare I say, I prefer the look of the stock Cayenne. If a tuner wanted to up the cool factor, they should have increased its off-road prowess, and made it a proper Dakar rally-esque vehicle. More travel, meatier tires, covered by marginally more pronounced flares.


    As it is, it is a Porsche Cherokee SRT8, or going back further, a Porsche Typhoon. Sure, it's cool from a performance standpoint, but does little to justify an SUV body.


    For a street-going machine, they could have chopped it down a bit, and given it an almost wagon-like stance. The Cayenne, after all, has a better profile than the Panamera, and would have made a better "sedan".

    Funny choice of setting for something named after a city in Senegal, West Africa. You'd think they could fly it to somewhere in the Sahara and take pictures of it flouncing about in the sand dunes instead.

    Mr. Ruf goes to hang out with Calogero from "Bronx Tale."


    C: Hey Ruf, why don't you make a good-looking Cayenne?


    Ruf: I can't make a good-looking Cayenne. That's too hard. No one can make a good-looking Cayenne.


    C: Sure you can, just put a screen in front of it's face, and I'll throw shit at it.

    Is Ruf not participating in the "World's Longest Press Release by a Car Company" contest? This press release, for what looks like a really cool car is shorter than their press release for the eRuf.


    Of course, that one had to explain that Siemens is a company and Ruf owns hydroelectric power stations.

    The Cayenne is hideous (and shouldn't exist) no matter what sort of treatment it gets. This is basically setting the makeup gun to "whore," and aiming it at a pig.

    I never had a problem with the Cayenne in the first place. I always looked at it as a kick-ass grocery getter for the wife (assuming my future wife can drive because my current girlfriend can't).
    This excites me, a ton.
    I just would never, ever, ever, ever, want to work on one.

    @aSoundofSleep hates work: Reduces Jalop time: At least it's easier than working in the engine bay of a 911, and DEFINITELY easier than working on a Boxster or Cayman.


    BTW, I think everybody should very heavily weight their significant other's ability to drive when choosing a future spouse.

    Honestly, what do you say about crap like this?


    "It looks better than the production Cayenne." -that may as well be a backhanded compliment.


    There's nowhere to go but up, Porsche designers were clearly aiming for the bottom with the Cayenne design.

    @Formerlythegreatestdriver: That phrase gets used around here way too much. I propose a permanent ban on the phrase "polish a turd." Nowhere may the words "polish" and "turd" be used within no less than four (4) words of each other. All in agreement, say "aye"!
