The new Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is here to break the rules. A full-sized SUV is supposed to be slow, unwieldy and feels as if the suspension is made from marshmallows. However, the Cayenne Turbo S disagrees with those stereotypes and still offers the practicality of a full-sized SUV. The easiest way for Porsche to explain this was to release the official Nurburgring lap time, which is a staggering 7 minutes and 59 seconds. Yes, an SUV laid down a sub-8 minute lap time at the infamous Ring. It may seem impossible, but we are talking about Porsche here, and they have added some performance to the previous generation of the Cayenne.
