Again, the cayenne turbo S embarrasses an x6m on the ring and there was something very off with the performance of the turbo S in this test. Just compare to the car and driver test they did on the turbo S. It nearly matches the x6m in a straight line despite that the x6m is far underrated.
Maybe we will see more tests but all signs point to point to the ages cayenne still being the best based on what it can do on road and on track and off-road. That's usually how it's been. Bmw comes out with the new x5/6m when the cayenne is at the end of its generation and the cayenne still has the best performance.
I also did hear the new cayenne will be here in 2017.

Test of the 2014 Cayenne Turbo S (550 hp).
Zero to 60 mph: 4.1 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 9.6 sec
Zero to 150 mph: 25.7 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 4.9 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 2.6 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 3.0 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 12.5 sec @ 113 mph
The new one is NOT slower and likely traps 114/115 so something def up with those numbers. Anyone who believes differently is severely mistaken. |
