Porsche Cayenne Junior Spied Testing At Nürburgring

Think the Porsche Cayenne is a massive sacrilegious behemoth? Well, it seems that Porsche now wants to make another SUV that's not huge. What you see here is said to be Porsche's upcoming Audi Q5-based tall wagon. Shorter, narrower, and presumably cheaper than the Cayenne, this new offering will do battle with the BMW X3, Land Rover Freelander, Acura RDX, Infiniti EX, and Mercedes GLK, and the err... Audi Q5.

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 »

Latest by my favorite car is a motorcycle: @DoctorNine: I disagree strongly. I'd like EVERY advertisement and product press release state the total purchase price. In fact, this should be regulated to eliminate the "dollar down, dollar when you catch me" financing shenanigans. Those who can't stand to more »

The Ten Most Outrageous Car MSRP's

When we asked if you could beat a $38K Accord in terms of ridiculous MSRP's, we didn't think it would be so easy. For one, you actually topped a $37,580 Accord with a $39,122 Accord Coupe. Then you were able to take the base model, entry-level cars and load them up with so many extra options that these once reasonable vehicles skyrocketed into foreign exotic territory. We have to thank our readers for the great ideas, as well as BMW and Porsche in particular for asking outrageous prices for their supposedly "cheap" models. Below are the ten worst domestic offenders. More »

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.

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.

Russian Model Killed Protecting Her Porsche Cayenne

Sad news from Russia, where a former Russian model and, ironically, head of a security firm was killed while trying to stop a man from hijacking her Porsche Cayenne. Anna Loginova, who was only 29 years old, was going to purchase a kitten in a neighborhood of Moscow when a man grabbed her and threw her from the car. Unwilling to let her car get stolen, Loginva grabbed the door to the Cayenne and was pulled for several feet before letting go of the door. The blow she took when she hit the ground was, unfortunately, fatal. More »

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.

The Porsche Cayenne GTS Will Conceal Your Aural Emissions

When you start watching this commercial you might think the marketing team is trying to convince you that Porsche is the car company of creepy dudes that masturbate alone, using the throaty exhaust note to cover up the sound of their lonely passion. Then you realize they're trying to say that the Porsche Cayenne GTS is part of a greater lineage of Porsches. For those that don't remember, the Cayenne GTS is wedged between the Cayenne S and Turbo S with a 405 horsepower version of the 4.8-liter DFI engine. Pics below, groans above:

The Rinspeed "X-Treme" Is A Swiss Extravaganza

The mad Swiss at Rinspeed, known for both Porsche tuning and underwater Lotus tuning have set their sights on the Porsche 957 Cayenne and the results are ~~extreme~~ X-treme. The Rinspeed X-treme is much wider and lower than the stock Cayenne thanks to the bulging arches and matching side skirts. The whole package is also lower thanks to an electric air suspension that lets the driver adjust the car by 35 mm. More power comes courtesy of a new sport exhaust system that brings the X-treme up to 600 hp. Press release below the jump.
