When the Cayenne was launched in 2003, it was met with scepticism – and even outright disdain – from Porsche purists. What was the iconic sports-car manufacturer doing, building an SUV? Everyone else – reviewers included – loved it.
Its combination of Porsche performance and SUV practicality made it an instant hit, and the model continues to this day. The Cayenne, and later Macan, comfortably outsold other models in the Porsche line-up. Other manufacturers sat up and took notice and soon the luxury SUV was a staple in the ranges of Porsche’s main rivals, but the Cayenne remains the car that set the standard.
The Cayenne Turbo S was introduced in 2006, to rival the Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.5-litre V8, the car was capable of 0-60mph in 5.0 seconds and had a top speed of 171mph – that’s supercar performance in a comfortable, and practical, SUV with excellent off-road capability. No wonder the car has been such a long-lived success.
First registered in June 2006, LG 06 DYJ was specced with a lot of high-end extras that took the car from the basic list price of £69,000 to an eye-watering £93,000 once the VAT had been added. Those extras included a panoramic sunroof (£1855) the Sport Design pack (£2316) and walnut door trim (£586), the full extras spec sheet is in the photos below.
Additional nice touches include the ski-bag, inside the rear arm-rest, that allows skis to be stowed without risk of damage or staining to the leather seats. The first owner sold the car in 2008, and the second owner kept it until 2016, during which time it was regularly serviced at Porsche West London in Chiswick and on one occasion it was serviced by a Porsche dealer in Belgium (the owners second home). The car's MOT history is consistent and well documented and in line with the service records, they appear in KM on 3 MOT's. The vendor has recently acquired the car from the third owner.
The car comes with a complete file of paperwork, including all the receipts since first purchase. All the owners’ manuals and booklets are present, in the original leather folder. The original service book shows all the appropriate stamps. This is clearly a car that has been lovingly (and expensively) cared for since new.
The exterior of the car is simply outstanding, with no marks or blemishes visible. Resplendent in the late-autumn sunshine, it looks amazing from every angle. The Basalt Black paintwork has been recently polished and looks incredibly good for a car that is 15 years old.
All four wheels are immaculate, as are the tyres, which have plenty of tread left in them. The badges and brightwork are spotless, and the headlights and rear lights are unmarked.
If the exterior of the car is impressive, the interior is truly astonishing. It all looks ‘as new’ and one is left wondering how the car can have done 65,000 miles when the interior is this good. The vendor has recently had the car professionally detailed, but even so there are virtually no signs of wear and everything is spotlessly clean. It’s a real time-warp.
The leather seats are immaculate, the carpets and mats look brand-new, and the dashboard and centre-console are equally impressive. All four interior door panels are unmarked. Behind the rear armrest is the aperture into the rear load space, with that clever ski-bag accessory -seemingly never used for its intended purpose. In the boot, the carpets are spotless and there is a car-cover (in its case) and a trickle-charger. Under the carpets, there are all the original tools which would appear never to have been used.
As one would expect of a car in this condition, the car starts on first flick of the key and the engine note is perfect. The Tiptronic auto transmission clicks readily into gear and the car pulls away quickly, smoothly and quietly. The vendor assures us that it drives and handles beautifully, with no issues. The power steering is quick and accurate.
Under the bonnet, everything is as clean and tidy as one would expect from a car that has been so carefully looked after. Underneath the car, there is no sign of rust or leaks and everything looks to be in good order. The car comes with three sets of keys, a custom car cover and trickle charger that can be seen in the boot.
The Cayenne was the original luxury SUV, and remains the model by which all others are judged. With searing performance and off-road ability plus a comfortable and spacious interior, this is a car that combines the best of all worlds, and that has comfortably bested its rivals in the sector since it was launched.
This outstanding example was packed with expensive extras when new and has clearly been cherished throughout its life. There can be few 2006 cars, of any model, in condition this remarkable and with the reassuringly thick and comprehensive pile of paperwork. If you are looking for a Porsche Cayenne, you won’t find a better one.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
