2009 Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia
Porsche To Offer 2009 Cayenne S Transsyberia
Equipped with a 4.11:1 final drive, air suspension, Porsche Active Suspension Management and permanent all-wheel drive as standard, the 2009 Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia has all you need to tackle the frozen tundra. Actually, all the real tough stuff — the off-road package, variable and lockable rear differential, rock rails, skid plates, reinforced engine-bay guards, fuel tank and rear axle protection —are optional extras. But, for the $70,800 price, you do get a natty set of stickers, some cool deer-spottin’ lights and a steering wheel with a white stripe on the top so you know which way is up while performing a 30-point turn to get out of a parking space at Whole Foods.

Porsche Reveals Cool Boxster, Also Shows Other Cars
We went to the Porsche event with high hopes of amazing unveils for the never before seen Porsche Boxster RS60 Spyder, Porsche RS Spyder, Porsche Cayenne GTS and Porsche 911 GT2. Imagine our disappointment when we got there and realized we've seen them all before, unlike the Porsche press release had implied. About the most exciting part of the whole event was the Boxster ice sculpture, with Porschemisu. They did manage to redeem themselves by encouraging us to "Have a little taste of Porsche" with the little birthday cakes - it's Porsches 50th anniversary this year. We didn't taste the cakes, because we don't know what Porsche tastes like, though we assume concentrated Bruce tastes like oil, aluminum, und schteel.

Porsche Coming To New York, Bringing Three "World Premiere" Vehicles
Porsche just dropped a presser on us which has us scratching our heads. Any time we read words like "Porsche" and "First" and "Shown" in a press release, we expect the things contained therein to be, you know, Porsches being shown for the first time. In this case, that's maybe only partially true. In breathless verbiage, we're told all about the amazing new Porsche Cayenne GTS, Porsche 911 GT2, Porsche Boxster RS60 Spyder and the racing Porsche RS Spyder. Problem is we've already seen the Porsche Cayenne GTS and the Porsche 911 GT2 in the flesh, the Porsche Boxster RS60 Spyder has been both on the web and boring for nigh on three and a half months. And it would be a shock if the Porsche RS Spyder which has already won more races than we care to count wasn't pretty well known. So at the end of the day, we're really confused on exactly what it is we're supposed to be excited about here. But — the press release in all of it's breathlessness is below the jump. More »

SpeedART Reveals Cayenne Based Titan BTR 550
If a 500bhp Cayenne Turbo isn't a good starting point for a tuner car, we don't know what is. Adding 50bhp and 96lb/ft of torque (for a total of 612lb/ft) the Titan BTR 550 should live up to it's monstrous name. In addition to the engine mods, the Titan benefits from a sports exhaust that's switchable between loud and not-so-load, air suspension and an aerodynamically efficient carbon fiber body kit. It's also available with 22" wheels up to 11.5" wide. No word on what sort of premium the Titan will carry over a stock $93,700 Cayenne Turbo, expect that info at the Geneva Motor Show.

Comrades! Glorious Stalinmobile Volga Based On Cayenne Chassis!
We posted on the Stalinmobile Volga last year, but we didn't have much in the way of details about the car. Now it turns out that the thing is based on a Porsche Cayenne chassis and appears to be an engineering masterpiece, in addition to being a stunningly campy homage to one of the most blood-soaked rulers in world history. The sites are in German and Russian, but we get the gist. Make the jump for an even larger gallery. Thanks to Franzouse for the tip! [CromJuwelen, Copypast.ru, RusAutoDesign.ru]

Now YOU Can Roll Playboy Style In Holly Madison's Cayenne!
Will you feel like donning your smoking jacket and getting all Hefnerized when you're behind the wheel of a customized '04 Porsche Cayenne once owned by Playboy model and Hefner girlfriend Holly Madison? We can't say, nor can we say whether this "ONCE IN A LIFETIME CHANCE TO OWN A PIECE OF PLAYBOY MANSION MAGIC" is worth more than a regular ol' Cayenne with 13,700 miles on the clock. We are fairly certain, however, that this SUV's new buyer will want to get rid of the BUNNYHM vanity plates. [eBay Motors]

Chicago Auto Show: Porsche Cayenne GTS Caught Pre-Reveal
An intrepid Jalopnik photographer/impersonator gathered up his best Ferdie Piëch and snuck behind the scenes at the Porsche booth to catch the new Cayenne GTS unawares and uncloaked. The mid-level porker SUV will be revealed officially later today, slotting between the Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo as part of Porsche's ever-widening niche-fulfillment strategy (see what I did there?). We hear our man with the camera had to take it on the run, before a cadre of thin, pasty individuals in sweater vests could snatch away the goods. Some say they had whistles. More later.

2008 Cayenne GTS To Be Unveiled in Chicago, Porsche Prez to Host
Peter Schwarzenbauer, president of Porsche Cars North America, will give Detroit a fat middle finger over Lake Michigan later this week, when he shows up in Chicago to unveil the 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS. Schwarzenbauer will host a breakfast before the public opening of the Chicago Auto Show this Thursday, where the fastest, hi-po Cayenne will make its US debut. Having sidestepped the Detroit show due to a mere trickle of sales there, Porsche can spend more time cozying up to one of its larger US markets — the one in which Joel Goodsen accidentally rolled his dad's 928 into Belmont Harbor.

HAMANN Cyclone Porsche Cayenne: Nothing Says Speed Like Snakeskin
We'd say this new Porsche Cayenne was to die for, but then it turns out there are people willing to die for a Porsche Cayenne. Well, that and it's kind of hideous. Something about this HAMANN Cyclone body kit just doesn't quite work. Maybe it's that sort of M5-esque front bumper. Maybe it's the unnecessarily large black rims. Or maybe it's ridiculous snakeskin, carbon fiber and velour interior. Though gaudy, it does finally confirm that carbon fiber is a fashion statement more than a performance statement. Press release and pictures below the jump.

Wild Russian SUV Has Identity Crisis
We've seen questionable Porsche Cayennes out of Ruskie tuning shops before, but this one takes the cake - especially since we're pretty sure it's a VW Touareg. This abomination with a split personality comes once again from English Russia and between the mildly interesting front end and the horror show that is the back, we wouldn't be heartbroken if it ended up in the shredder. But what makes us suspicious of this wayward SUV's progeny? As you can see after the jump, it's all in the windows.
