The Porsche Cayenne was a game changer for the German brand – it’s first SUV and its fort V8 since the 928 Grand Tourer introduced in 1978.
Thanks to its importance, it is tipped by many to be the next big thing in Porsche terms – a car that redefined the brand and made it VW Group’s most profitable business unit as the market for premium SUVs exploded in the 2000s. It’s hard to believe it’s now over 20 years since it was launched.
Good early examples are becoming few and far between, but this two-owner car is a low mileage example in a great colour and specification, and seemingly in very good order – a great way into owning the seminal Porsche SUV and a guaranteed future classic.
