Engine and Transmission

From Car and Driver

Engine and Transmission Rating:

Despite their size and height disadvantage, these ridiculously powerful crossovers will devour smaller sports cars at the drag strip and-more likely-on family road trips. Each Cayenne Turbo model makes ungodly power from a force-fed V-8 mated to a terrific eight-speed automatic transmission. What’s even crazier? These Porsche siblings aren’t even the quickest of their kind.

What’s New for 2018?

The 2018 Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S have the same engine and transmission as they did before. But the next-generation Cayenne Turbo arrives in 2019, with all-new powertrain choices that could potentially include a hi-po hybrid.

Test Results: Acceleration
