2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S AWD

The 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S four-door SUV was powered by a turbocharged 4.5-liter V8, which produced 520 horsepower. A six-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission, with a gate that enabled drivers to shift manually, was standard. The turbocharged engine drove the vehicle from 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds. Top track speed for the Turbo S was 168 miles per hour.
Standard features for the all-wheel-drive SUV included power windows, 12-way adjustable power front seats, a multi-function steering wheel with controls for the audio system, Porsche's Parking Assist system, heated windshield wiper nozzles, leather seats (heated in the front), cruise control, a central locking system with remote, front and side airbags, front fog lights, Bi-Xenon headlights, and a 14-speaker Bose stereo system with a CD player.
Off-road, the Cayenne offered an 8.5-inch ground clearance with the vehicle's air suspension self-leveling ride height control system set at normal level, and a 10.7-inch ground clearance with the air-suspension system at off-road ride height.
Drivers praised the Turbo S's acceleration, tight handling, roominess, and comfortable seating. However, the six-speed automatic was a bit controversial, especially with reviewers, who noted that it tended to accelerate the vehicle even when the foot was held constant on the gas pedal. The six-speed also could be a bit jumpy on downshifts, reviewers noted.
