In 2003, Porsche amazed the motoring world and shocked badge fans with the opening of the first Cayenne. At the time reviewer thought the Cayenne would provide evidence a modern day ‘Spruce Goose’ for the German carmaker but fortune favors the bold and Porsche were quickly on to a sales winner.

In spite of grumblings about the Cayenne’s styling and plus size figure it has gone on to sell about 300,000 units all-inclusive and rescue Porsche from the brink of financial hardship.

But the Cayenne was over just a sales success; it showed that a full size SUV could really push the sensory buttons of a driver seeking a sporty steer.

Now for 2011, Porsche has exposed its second-generation Cayenne and despite the large boots to fill it’s built to be more advanced in every part. Car and SUV took voyage in the next-gen Cayenne to find out just how good it in fact is.

Undoubtedly Porsche has taken many of the disapprovals of the first-generation Cayenne to heart, not least assails on the exterior fashioning. Taken as a whole design looks sleeker and lower so the, Cayenne can no longer be depicted as a large 911 wearing a Mumu.
