Introduction
What Car? says...
A decade and a half on, it's hard to imagine just what a hullabaloo was caused in 2002 by the arrival of the first Porsche Cayenne, but this was a car that soon inspired something of a paradigm shift among certain traditional automotive brands.
You see, in the present day, no one bats an eyelid when a manufacturer of sports cars produces an SUV, whether that’s Jaguar, Maserati or even Lamborghini. And it’s not just sporty SUVs, because Bentley and Roll-Royce have now moved into the luxury SUV market, too.
The question is this: is the Cayenne still the best sports SUV for hurling down your favourite road? Can it turn your knuckles white and stand your neck hairs on end for all the right reasons? It certainly has a lot more competition these days, including hot versions of the BMW X5 and Range Rover Sport, not to mention offerings from the luxury brands we mentioned above.
