2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo AWD Special Edition

2008 Porsche Cayenne Description

One owner. This was my personal daily driver for 7 years. Never abused, never taken off-road and well-maintained with regular service. Always premium grade lubricants. This car purchased new had many options driving the sticker to $130K in 2008. Today's version of this car sells for between 175K and 210K. It has a high-performance Porsche Turbo engine estimated to have between 600-610hp. Chip and high performance exhaust installed by dealer boosting HP. Xenon headlamps, premium sound system, leather multi-directional heated and cooled seats with matching suede headliner and moon roof. Heated steering wheel, multi-level suspension, tiptronic / auto transmission. This Cayenne is in excellent condition, It is not perfect, but close...it is an extremely nice car. I actually hate to part with it but I am running out of car space. Would be a great second car for someone. Note - it takes premium fuel and it likes gasoline a lot, but it is a fun car to drive. Lots of muscle and a nice resting profile. Best Cayenne body-style in my opinion. This car is ready for many more fun miles. Happy to answer any questions. Note: Photos show a missing rear left head rest. I have the headrest but in order to fold down the rear seats, the head rests need to be removed.
A 2008 model review by the Fort Worth Star Telegram is below:
"The ultra-high-performance model is the Cayenne Turbo, which lists for $93,700. It has a twin-turbo version of the 4.8-liter V-8 engine, rated at 500 horsepower and 516 foot-pounds of torque. EPA estimates are 12 mpg city/19 highway -- quite respectable for this much power.
This model can reach 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds, and has a top speed of 171 mph. Helping to improve power and fuel-efficiency on the new models is Porsche's all-new direct fuel injection technology for the Cayenne. It's standard on all three models. The Cayenne is a rather heavy SUV that can carry five adults and all of their luggage, so the performance figures are quite impressive. Curb weights range from 4,762 pounds for the V-6 with manual gearbox to 5,191 pounds for the Turbo model.
The manual gearbox is offered only with the V-6 engine; the S and Turbo models come only with the six-speed Tiptronic S automatic, which is optional on the base Cayenne.
For those who want to get the best performance out of the Cayenne, the Tiptronic transmission offers manual shifting without having to worry about a clutch. Paddles on each side of the steering wheel allow for quick up- and downshifts.
The car also comes with a "sport" mode that lowers the automatic transmission's shift points for quicker acceleration."
