Each month, Panorama magazine brings you the best from the world
of Porsche. Races, vintage car shows, technical articles, we cover
it all!
At Panorama, we never have room for all the pictures we'd like
to
share with our readers. Here are some photos that just wouldn't
fit
into the magazine this month.
Featured in the March issue is our review of the brand new 2008
Cayenne model range. There is a lot more going on than a facelift
with Porsche's highly successful SUV. For this month's gallery
we provide additional photos from Leonard Turner and some interest
facts from the international press launch near Jerez, Spain.
We refer you to the magazine for even more articles. How do you

A highlight of the new Cayenne is the high pressure direct
fuel injection system which offers the twin benefits of
more power and greater fuel efficiency. Look for it on
911s of the future.

The large "sport" button on the left influences
overall performance; the smaller sport button to
the right acts on shock absorber settings. Note

The new headlights are relatively
narrow and elongated and contribute to the 2008
Cayenne's meaner look.

The massive normally aspirated V8
proclaims its direct injected status. The 2008 model
pumps out 385 horsepower at 6200 rpm and develops
a useful 369 footpounds of torque.

Driving older Cayennes without PDCC back to back
with 2008 cars equipped with the twist motors gave
an appreciation of the capability of this system.

New with this model is the optional
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC); both front
and rear swaybars incorporate powerful hydraulic twist
motors which keep the Cayenne level in almost all
cornering circumstances.

Various farm animals attest to the fact that the
Cayenne is a most capable off road performer.
