The Appeal

The first-generation Cayenne Turbo remains one of the most formidable performance SUVs ever produced, combining Porsche's engineering pedigree with genuine everyday usability. When new, these cars commanded a list price in excess of £100,000 in high specification, and this 2007 example was ordered with various desirable options.

Finished in Jarama Beige Metallic over a tan leather interior with elegant wood inlays, this is a handsomely appointed Cayenne Turbo that has clearly been cared for throughout its life. The service history consists almost entirely of Porsche main dealer stamps, with the last service carried out at Porsche Centre Colchester in 2023, which included a brake fluid change. More recently, £9,652 was spent in 2025 on engine work including timing chain, tensioner and valve stem seal replacements, as well as oil and air conditioning services.

The vendor describes the bodywork as free from bubbling or rust, and the interior as being without rips or tears. There are some minor cosmetic blemishes to note, along with an inoperable sunroof and a reversing camera that extends but does not display video, all of which are detailed in the condition section below. With an MOT valid until April 2027 and a comprehensive specification, this Cayenne Turbo is ready to be enjoyed by another enthusiast, and would make a fantastic daily driver or family hauler for many more years to come.
