    Hey, I like the blue one (#4, RUF Dakara). It looks like Porsche. It has proper, ROUND headlights (read: not amorphic blobs) The rest suck.

    I often find myself polarized by the Cayenne. Half the time I like them, half I don't. Always seems to come down to wheel and tire selection. They CAN be done tastefully; attractively. But, usually, any attempt to "spruce" them up ends in fugly. And why so many gilled air intakes? Less is more people... especially on the Cayenne.

    The two foulest are the Russian ones, closely followed by the Indian Shiva God of Chaos. The Russians need to stay with what they make best, scary post-apocalyptic mud machines and tall blondes with exotic accents. Everything else looks just plain bizarre.

    The TECHART (#1 or #10, depending on which numbering you want to use) is the only one that at least doesn't look any worse than the Factory Cayenne.

    Still doesn't look good, but...

    This "Top" ten makes me yearn for the Panamera... Not because I like the Panamera, but because it will give us what all these tuners are attempting: a 4-door road warrior from Porsche. Then maybe we can start to see some Cayennes with lift kits, trimmed fenders clearing 35's, rock sliders and winch bumpers. I'd like to see more of these in Baja, the Dakar Rally, Moab, and Glamis.

    @Alphamazing: Yes, that's a step in the right direction... we can check Dakar and maybe Baja off the list. But there's still plenty of ground to be covered.

    One conspicuous omission...The Cannabis Edition from Russia's GT-A tuners:

    Also, wasn't there some horrible dragon-esque Cayenne once upon a time? Or was that a Touareg or X5 or something. It's burned in my brain, but I can't find it.

    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.
