For the Porsche enthusiast who desires true Porsche performance and day-to-day practicality, the Porsche Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo deliver. In the year since their introduction, these two models have earned the praise of the industry press and enthusiasts alike. This year the line was expanded with the addition of the V6-powered Cayenne. Adding a third choice in terms of performance, practicality and price.

Now the line starts with the Cayenne, which debuted at the 2004 Los Angeles and Detroit auto shows. Cayenne models arrived in showrooms on January 10, 2004 at a starting MSRP of $42,900 (USA) and $60,850 (CAN). The new 24-valve, 3.2-liter V6 produces 247-hp (SAE) and 229 lb-ft of torque, enabling the Cayenne to reach a top track speed of 133 mph.

The MSRP for the Cayenne S begins at $55,900 (USA) and $78,250 (CAN).

At the top of the line is the Cayenne Turbo.
