This is without doubt the fastest SUV I've ever tested! It's the 2023 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT - it's like a swooping coupe looking SUV with a manic twin-turbocharged V8 engine crammed under the bonnet. Paul Maric takes it for a spin to see what it's like.

MotorTranscript
00:00 G'day, I'm Paul. If you're partial to V8 SUVs, you're gonna like this.
00:05 And this is probably the last time you'll see like a proper ball-tearing V8 SUV
00:11 that isn't a hybrid, you know, thing with less sound and all that sort of stuff.
00:16 This is the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT.
00:19 So it's like the full hardcore performance version of the Cayenne
00:24 and sits above that top spec Turbo model.
00:26 So this is some proper stuff right here.
00:29 This is priced at just over $350,000.
00:32 If that's too expensive, the entire range kicks off at a little over $135,000.
00:36 Now, this competes with things like the Audi RS Q8, the BMW X6 M,
00:43 and the Mercedes-AMG GLE Coupe.
00:47 Very noisy sounding cars.
00:48 Today we're going to do a detailed review of this car.
00:50 So if you do want to skip ahead to other parts of this review,
00:52 you can use the time codes on the screen.
00:54 Or if you're on YouTube, you can scroll down and use the chapters below.
00:57 And if you haven't done so already, subscribe to our channel and press the bell icon
01:00 so you can find out every single time we drive a meaty V8.
01:04 Okay, so let's talk design.
01:07 You have eight colours to pick from and they're all free charge.
01:10 There are a couple that will cost you extra and they're five grand extra,
01:13 but it's good to see that you're getting something for free here.
01:16 So Porsche logo on the bonnet there.
01:18 And if you look down here, this is where everything is cooled.
01:23 And this needs a lot of cooling because it has a top speed of 300 kilometres an hour.
01:27 So you have active louvers there.
01:29 You have additional cooling off to the sides as well.
01:32 Radar sensor down the bottom there.
01:33 Black lip there with some body colour down the bottom section of that as well.
01:37 So it is a fairly aggressive looking car down the front here.
01:40 And I think it is, yeah, just a testament to this thing just eating away the miles.
01:45 And even just like the fan just runs sometimes, it hisses at you.
01:49 It is just a properly scary car.
01:51 Over here you have a set of full LED headlights with LED daytime running lights
01:56 and indicator built in down here and more of that cooling element down there as well.
02:00 Now around the side here, love the look of these wheels.
02:03 So 22-inch alloy wheels, gold colour.
02:06 It really just deviates from the norm with these SUVs and they've really just
02:11 given it quite an appearance from a distance.
02:13 Have a look at those brakes.
02:15 They are absolutely enormous.
02:16 So 440 mm cross-drilled carbon ceramic rotor.
02:20 You then have a 10-piston caliper on this brake here.
02:23 The rear is only slightly smaller as well.
02:25 So it is an enormous braking package for a car that is able to do enormous speeds.
02:30 This sits 17 mm lower than a standard turbo.
02:34 It's 15% stiffer and in addition to that you also have half a degree of negative camber
02:38 on the front here as well.
02:39 So that's probably going to affect the way that this drives on the road and I'll explain
02:44 that when we go for a bit of a drive later on.
02:46 Beneath there you have adaptive air suspension as well.
02:48 So it can vary the height of this depending on which drive mode you're in.
02:51 A bit of wheel arch cladding there as well.
02:53 Up the top here you have carbon everywhere.
02:56 So carbon here on the wing mirrors.
02:58 Camera built into the side there.
03:00 That black stuff runs all the way down the side of the car there.
03:03 You have a carbon roof, some privacy glass, a carbon spoiler there as well which is really
03:08 cool and then whip around to the back with me.
03:11 So around the back here, turbo GT.
03:13 Got to admit I'm not a huge fan of that.
03:16 I don't know why they've put the exhausts there.
03:18 I don't know why they wouldn't just exist on the outer edges.
03:21 Not, you know, entirely sold on that but this is a titanium exhaust.
03:25 It has a centre silencer removed so I think this is probably going to sound pretty all
03:29 right.
03:29 You can actually see those titanium elements there as well.
03:31 They change colour as that heats up and cools down which I think is pretty awesome.
03:35 More carbon down the bottom there on that diffuser.
03:37 Full LED light package along the back here with a spoiler.
03:41 This extends as well and when it is extended this can supply up to an extra 40
03:46 kilograms of downforce to the rear of the car.
03:48 So it should be pretty exciting to drive I reckon.
03:52 Let me know what you reckon about the design.
03:53 Do you agree with me on the exhaust stuff down there?
03:56 Let me know in the comments section below.
03:57 Okay so we are inside the Cayenne.
04:00 This is what the key looks like.
04:02 You've got a Porsche logo at the top there.
04:04 Unlock, lock, boot.
04:06 It's in the shape of a car as well.
04:09 I like that.
04:10 Proximity sensing keys.
04:11 You can leave that in your pocket.
04:12 Then over here you've got like a key device that you turn.
04:15 It looks like a key but it's not really a key and that flicks everything on.
04:18 So in terms of the design, look this is kind of classic Porsche.
04:23 You've got the analogue sport chrono up the top there.
04:25 You've got an analogue rev gauge here in the centre.
04:28 And just loads of alcantara.
04:30 They've really just gone to town on it.
04:32 Plus your grab handles which descend from the Cayenne's history as kind of an off-road
04:37 vehicle as well.
04:38 So it is a pretty cool looking setup and I think it looks nice.
04:41 I don't love this centre section.
04:43 I like the way that it looks but it marks so easily.
04:45 So your fingerprints are just left on everything which I think is just a little bit annoying.
04:51 The other thing as well, they're about to do a facelift of this and the spy photos that
04:54 we've seen show that this has a full digital cluster like the Taycan and I like that.
04:59 But I also still love the sort of the history behind this analogue rev gauge as well.
05:05 So that looks like when we finally test it out in person.
05:08 In terms of your touch points, kind of firm but soft there and then soft on the door as
05:14 well.
05:14 How soft are they?
05:15 We've got our durometer.
05:17 We've tested the main surfaces in this cabin.
05:19 If you want to see how this car compares to others that we've tested before, have a look
05:22 at the link in the description below.
05:23 Build quality, yeah that is absolutely solid as.
05:29 Door test, sounds expensive which is good.
05:34 Okay let's talk about infotainment.
05:36 So your main infotainment screen is here in the centre.
05:39 It's just under 11 inches in size.
05:41 I think I'm glad that Porsche moved to you know actual modern infotainment.
05:46 Some of the cars and some of the older 911 models were just a bit painful in terms of
05:50 the infotainment system so this is definitely better.
05:53 It is still a little bit fiddly to use while you're driving so some of the functions you
05:56 do need to take your eyes off the road for to sort of get a proper look at it but outside
06:00 of that it's pretty quick and sort of straightforward to use as well.
06:05 In terms of the features, so you have AM/FM, DAB, digital radio and that's all plumbed
06:10 through a 10 speaker sound system.
06:11 You then have a number of optional sound systems you can get depending on how much money, how
06:15 much more money you want to spend in your car and then on top of that this now also
06:20 has both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
06:22 Previously it didn't have Android Auto.
06:24 So Apple CarPlay is wireless, this is what it looks like, full screen integration there,
06:28 nice and quick and then this is Android Auto.
06:32 So also full screen integration, very nice and then you also have nice speed there as
06:39 well so very good.
06:40 In addition to that you actually also have internet radio streaming so if I click on
06:44 here, it's now going to load LBC London whatever that is but it is streaming that from the
06:52 internet which I think is a really cool setup so very impressed with that.
06:56 Now ahead of the driver you also have another display here off to the side.
06:59 Cool thing with this is you can flick through the different menus and even bring up a full
07:02 size nav menu there as well so that is a pretty useful feature to have.
07:06 OK, let's talk safety.
07:07 So you have autonomous emergency braking that'll stop the car if you don't.
07:11 You've got an auto dimming rear vision mirror.
07:13 Over on the wing mirror you have a blind spot monitor, you have rear cross traffic alert,
07:17 you have radar cruise control, you do have a lane keeping assistant as part of that
07:22 radar cruise control system.
07:23 Then on the parking front you have both front and rear parking sensors and a 360 camera.
07:28 I'll show you what that looks like.
07:29 Quality is OK.
07:32 You can see there the edges are pretty sort of blurry.
07:34 Let's have a look at the back.
07:36 Yeah, it's not too bad.
07:38 I just think it could be slightly better but you do have a stack of little angles you could
07:43 do here which I reckon is cool.
07:44 They even have, looks like it's got the carbon ceramic brakes there as well so yeah, not
07:48 too bad.
07:48 Yeah, I think it's good.
07:52 I think it's not too bad.
07:53 Now what about our horn test?
07:54 Does it sound as expensive as it is?
07:56 [HONKING]
07:58 It's got some authority to it.
08:00 [HONKING]
08:02 OK, practicality.
08:03 We'll start off with your connectivity.
08:04 So in the centre console here you have two USB-C ports.
08:08 You have a 12 volt outlet in the centre here as well.
08:10 In terms of storing your phone, no wireless phone charging which I thought was random.
08:14 There's like a perfect slot for it there as well but you can then put your phone I guess
08:20 wherever you want.
08:20 There are a few sort of slots here that it will go into.
08:22 In terms of your coffee cup, if you have a little coffee cup like I do, you run the risk
08:27 of it being de-littered there ever so slightly.
08:30 But in terms of the bottles themselves, they fit in perfectly fine.
08:34 You've got nice teeth there to hold them in place if you are going for a bit of a squirt
08:38 and the bottle fits into there.
08:39 Let's see if the big bottle fits into the door as well.
08:42 Yeah, it fits into there too.
08:45 Very nice.
08:46 Other storage.
08:46 So centre console here goes forwards and backwards.
08:49 Not a huge space.
08:50 It's actually pretty small.
08:52 And then you have glove box over here that's pretty reasonably sized as well.
08:56 OK, comfort.
08:57 You have dual zone automatic climate control up the front here.
09:00 You do have seat heating but seat ventilation is a no-cost option.
09:04 So I think it just changes the design of the seats.
09:07 But speaking of the seats, they actually look really cool.
09:09 You've got El Cantaro down the centre there.
09:11 You've got Turbo GT Insignia up the top.
09:14 They really do look like a seat that is going to hold you in place when this thing's going
09:18 for a bit of a burn.
09:19 I also noticed on the steering wheel as well that some absolute sick bros have been driving
09:24 this because the yellow section in the centre is quite worn and that happens when you drive
09:29 like this.
09:29 So there you go.
09:31 That's interesting.
09:32 In terms of the seats themselves, they have a stack of adjustments.
09:35 So you can go forwards, backwards, backrest can go forwards, backwards.
09:38 You can lift the front.
09:40 You can lift the back.
09:41 And then on the steering front, it is electrically adjustable for both tilt and reach as well.
09:47 And on our reach test, all of this stuff is easy to reach while you're driving.
09:51 OK, second row.
09:52 Have a look at this.
09:54 We'll get to that in a second.
09:55 But knee room, excellent.
09:57 Toe room, really good.
09:58 Headroom, not too bad.
10:01 But four-seater, why?
10:03 Because fancy.
10:04 And it also means that you can then put some proper bolster on your two outer seats as
10:09 well to hold you in while this thing's going for a fang.
10:11 I did notice with the BMW XM that we had a look at recently, even though it is like the
10:16 hardcore sporty model, the bench seat at the back was basically flat.
10:20 So it meant that if you do go for a bit of a burn, that your second row passengers are
10:23 going to be all over the place.
10:24 But this is going to hold them in really nicely.
10:26 You have mat pockets in the back of the seats here.
10:28 Your third and fourth zone of climate control with seat heating.
10:31 Another 12-volt outlet and two USB-C charging slots.
10:35 A bit of storage in the centre here.
10:37 Then you get a centre armrest with two cup holders or two and a little piccolo holder.
10:42 You can also put the bottle inside the door as well.
10:45 You've got air vents down here, but also here as well.
10:49 And in addition to that, you have ISOFIX points on the two outboard seats with two top tether
10:53 points.
10:53 And finally, our window test.
10:55 So it's auto up and down.
10:56 Yeah, so close.
10:59 Now, cargo space.
11:03 Let's have a little look.
11:03 So you've got a power tailgate.
11:05 Crack that open.
11:07 So you have around 550 litres of cargo space available here in just that standard setup.
11:13 What have we got beneath the cargo floor?
11:15 A space saver spare tyre that pops out of there.
11:18 Big old subwoofer in there as well.
11:21 A little bit of storage off to the sides there.
11:23 You also have buttons here to adjust the ride height.
11:25 You can bring it up or down to make loading things into the back easier.
11:30 12-volt outlet hidden in there as well.
11:32 Show you what it looks like with our bags in there.
11:34 So bang, bang and bang, bang.
11:37 It's actually not a bad space when you consider that this swoops down at the back there.
11:42 And then what you can do as well to expand that space, once you remove this cargo blind,
11:47 you walk around to the side of the car and drop that second row out of the way.
11:54 And that expands the space to about 1450 litres.
11:59 Okay, we've just hit the road in the big old beast.
12:05 So powering this twin turbocharged 4.0-litre V8.
12:10 Like it is the ducks nuts of engines.
12:13 And I just love how versatile this engine is.
12:15 They're using adaptations of this across the Volkswagen group.
12:19 And it's good to see that they've invested so much into it
12:22 to put such a big smile on the face of any car that it's in.
12:25 So this is an interesting setup because the turbo GT goes and tries to eclipse
12:33 everything that the standard turbo is about.
12:35 And that means 471 kilowatts of power and 850 newton metres of torque.
12:41 Like it is some proper numbers there.
12:44 It's up by almost 70 kilowatts of power over the standard turbo.
12:48 So it's not like they've just bumped it up by five kilowatts.
12:52 They really have gone to town on this.
12:53 And in addition to the mechanical changes, the camber at the front,
12:57 they really have just wanted to focus on this being a weapon at the track,
13:02 if you do want to go down that path.
13:04 And a vehicle that you can drive day to day.
13:06 So how does all that feel behind the wheel?
13:09 So I've just got it in like the normal mode at the moment.
13:12 If you sort of lean on the throttle,
13:13 oh that noise is good.
13:17 It has a degree of turbo lag.
13:19 And what you'll notice down here, this is our boost pressure.
13:21 If I let that settle back down into gear and then go for the throttle again,
13:25 just watch how long that takes to build up boost.
13:27 So three, two, one, throttle, waiting, waiting, waiting.
13:33 So it takes up a little while for it to do what it needs to do.
13:35 The good news is the four litre V8 has enough torque on its own
13:38 before the turbochargers start doing their thing.
13:41 But it is something you do tend to notice in and around the city.
13:44 And then when it does all finally come on board,
13:47 it gives you that mighty shunt in the back.
13:48 I should also mention as well,
13:49 it's all sent through an eight-speed torque converter automatic.
13:53 Now, good news about that gearbox is you're not using a dual clutch.
13:57 And it is all the better for it.
13:59 This engine just works so well with the torque converter.
14:01 And you'll see later on when we do the 0 to 100,
14:03 it doesn't sort of build up revs and drop the clutch.
14:05 It is just a nice, progressive, smooth thing.
14:08 And I love the manufacturers are still embracing a torque converter
14:11 over a dual clutch in performance applications.
14:13 Now let's talk fuel economy.
14:17 Kind of a redundant topic, I think, if you're buying this car.
14:20 You're probably not going to give too much of a crap how much fuel it uses.
14:22 But the official figure is 12.6 litres per 100 k's.
14:26 We are currently averaging, oh, there you go, we're currently averaging 12.2.
14:29 This has had majority highway driving, so it's not as if, you know,
14:33 we've just fanged it here today and it's done 12.2.
14:36 But I think that figure is pretty good.
14:37 I've done a couple of hot laps this morning,
14:39 and I think that kind of fuel economy for a vehicle this size
14:43 is actually really not that bad.
14:44 The ride.
14:47 Look, it's as good as it can be for a car that is sitting on such enormous wheels like this.
14:54 You can tell they've put a lot of effort into the air suspension
14:57 and the adaptive damping to soften it up as much as they can.
15:00 That does lead to a little bit of brittleness when you do hit consecutive bumps,
15:04 and it really just tends to ride a little rougher than it needs to.
15:09 And I think that they're trying to compensate for its weight there
15:12 by basically softening it up as much as they can.
15:14 I don't know how effective it is.
15:16 Okay, let's crank it up to 130.
15:17 We're going to simulate a country road and an overtake here.
15:21 It's the maximum speed limit in Australia.
15:25 Yeah, look, it's really good, but you do notice the air suspension
15:28 is having to work really hard to keep that composed,
15:31 but it is doing a pretty good job at that.
15:33 A couple of high-level things I thought I'd point out.
15:34 I wrote them down here so I don't miss anything.
15:36 It's quicker than the RS Q8, quicker than the Lamborghini Urus,
15:39 so they've really just wanted to make sure that this is the fastest vehicle in their stable.
15:44 It uses a water-cooled transfer case.
15:46 It has a lightweight titanium exhaust with that silencer removed.
15:50 We'll have a listen to that in a second as well.
15:51 It has sharper turn-in and more torque vectoring,
15:53 more torque vectoring effect as well.
15:56 The other cool thing is when we do go for a bit more of a fang,
15:59 you'll see this menu here on the right-hand side that gives us our PDCC,
16:03 which is the mild hybrid tech that basically prevents this thing
16:08 having too much body roll in a corner.
16:11 And the mild hybrid tech here as well also works for the stop-start system.
16:15 So I come to a full stop there, you'll see when we get to around that 13 km/h mark,
16:19 it'll actually switch the vehicle off, and as I roll out of the throttle again,
16:23 it comes back on really nice and smoothly too.
16:25 Yeah, the exhaust.
16:27 So, sounds awesome just as it is,
16:29 but I've configured this little diamond here to turn the exhaust on.
16:32 You press that and get on it.
16:35 It instantly fills the cabin with a crap load of noise,
16:41 and it sounds so good.
16:43 Like it is proper gruff V8 noise,
16:46 and it's making that noise inside the cabin here and outside as well,
16:49 which is what I seriously bloody love about it.
16:51 [engine revving]
16:54 Okay, let's talk drive mode.
16:56 So you select them here using this switch on the steering wheel.
16:59 You have normal, individual, sport, sport plus,
17:01 and go all the way over to sport plus, because why not?
17:04 So to lower the vehicle, it firms up the suspension,
17:07 opens the exhaust, and these brakes are amazing.
17:12 Oh my god, it has so much traction.
17:16 [engine revving]
17:18 [engine revving]
17:23 Wow, it is absolutely hammering.
17:27 [engine revving]
17:31 Holy crap.
17:32 This is insane.
17:36 Wow.
17:36 I just don't have words to describe how good this is.
17:41 It has just so much turn in,
17:43 like it bites so hard when you turn the steering wheel.
17:47 Oh, and these brakes are really, really good.
17:51 You have to get a bit of temperature into them, but once you do,
17:53 [engine revving]
17:58 pulls up the car really nicely.
17:59 [engine revving]
18:03 I, I, sorry, I should be talking,
18:05 but I'm having to concentrate here.
18:07 Let's give this a stab onto the back.
18:09 Wow.
18:10 [engine revving]
18:13 Oh.
18:13 [engine revving]
18:18 Wow.
18:19 Holy shit.
18:21 [laughing]
18:24 That is f***ing ridiculous.
18:25 Oh, I'm just blown away with that.
18:30 All right, I'm going to stick this back into normal mode here
18:31 for our little country road stretch.
18:34 Oh man, that is insane.
18:36 This thing hauls ass.
18:37 It is a heavy car, and you do feel that.
18:40 All right, let me just get through this.
18:43 So yeah, 90 k's an hour over our dodgy stretch of road here.
18:46 It does fine with that air suspension.
18:48 It is a little busy, but it's fine.
18:50 But anyway, back to the fast driving.
18:51 Yeah, the communication through the steering wheel is so good.
18:55 The brakes are fantastic.
18:56 It just gives you everything, everything you want and more.
19:00 And when you get on the throttle, it is ready to go.
19:02 Like, it is not messing about at all.
19:05 It is just giving you everything.
19:06 And I, yeah, I think that in the right hands,
19:11 you do feel its weight, because when you do get on the throttle,
19:13 it has a lot of traction.
19:15 But when it does break traction, the rear end is starting to step out a little bit.
19:19 In the right hands, this type of car would just be next level.
19:24 And that's why it's set a record time around the Nürburgring,
19:26 because it's basically in capable hands, very agile, despite its weight.
19:31 So I think that they've done an incredible job with engineering this.
19:35 And yeah, to me, this is the ultimate, the ultimate performance SUV.
19:40 I just don't know how you can get better than this without having to do any aftermarket stuff.
19:45 The fact that it drives like this straight out of the box,
19:47 and I just keep talking, is just bloody unreal.
19:50 Now, road noise.
19:54 Look, it's not amazing.
19:55 It's okay.
19:56 It's not the worst I've heard.
19:57 But yeah, with big tyres like that, sporty tyres,
20:00 it does tend to pump a fair bit of tyre noise into the cabin,
20:03 especially if you are on a course-tripped country road.
20:05 Yeah, not the end of the world, but it is just something to keep in mind.
20:08 The other thing worth keeping in mind as well is,
20:10 because of that camber adjustment at the front, you do get it tramlining a fair bit.
20:14 So if you do have divots in the road from overuse on freeways,
20:17 it will pick those up and it becomes a little hard to get out of them.
20:21 So that is just all down to the sportier tune of this compared to a standard Cayenne.
20:25 What about your visibility?
20:29 Look, it is clear down the front there.
20:31 The wing mirrors are fine.
20:32 I see plenty down the side there.
20:33 We've got a blind spot monitor as well.
20:34 Visibility out the back isn't great,
20:36 and that swooping profile at the rear kind of makes it a little tricky to see out of,
20:40 but with all the cameras and stuff that you have here, it is really not that big of a deal.
20:43 I am also going to comment on the sport response button.
20:45 So if I press that, it gives me 20 seconds.
20:48 20 seconds of maximum thrust and acceleration.
20:54 It is priming everything.
20:55 It is giving me 100% of its ability for 20 seconds,
20:58 and I can then switch that off and on again whenever I want.
21:01 So it is just a really quick way to enter attack mode
21:04 without having to faff around with controls and all that sort of stuff.
21:06 Okay, 0-100 time.
21:13 I am going to put this into Sport Plus.
21:15 Yeah, so like I mentioned before, there is no dual clutch.
21:18 So all it is going to do is build revs, and it will then slingshot out of there.
21:23 So we will do 0-120, so we can see how that feels,
21:26 and then you will see it come up here with something like performance launch or something
21:29 like that, and then I will just flatten the throttle and we will see what happens.
21:32 So here we go.
21:33 So building revs, building revs.
21:35 Oh, little wheel slip.
21:38 Jesus.
21:39 That is freaking insane.
21:44 That is insane.
21:48 Like with a dual clutch, when it drops the clutch and you get pinned back into the seat,
21:52 it all happens all of a sudden and it tapers off a little.
21:55 This just hooks up and bloody goes.
22:01 0-100, 3.48 seconds.
22:03 So not quite the claim of 3.3, and I think if I did it a few more times, it'd be fine.
22:08 It is quite hot today, but yeah, 3.48 is bloody awesome.
22:12 And then our 80-120, 2.19 seconds.
22:15 I mean, that is clinically insane.
22:18 It's taking 2.19 seconds to get from 80 kilometres an hour to 120.
22:24 Far out.
22:26 Very impressive.
22:27 Okay, so carbon ceramic brakes, does that mean it's going to stop well from 100 k's an hour?
22:34 Let's find out.
22:35 Get this up to 100.
22:37 Jam the anchors on and we'll see how it performs.
22:42 We're just over 100 k's an hour there.
22:44 Doesn't feel too bad.
22:49 Those tyres are bloody huge, so if anything, that should definitely help.
22:53 All right, let's have a little sticky beak here at how we did.
22:56 So 2.77 seconds, 37.68 metres.
23:00 That's actually not too bad, especially for a cold run because the brakes aren't warm at the moment.
23:04 So yeah, if you do want to see how this car compares to others, both for 0-100 and also 100-0,
23:10 have a look at the link in the description below where we have a little comparison for you.
23:14 Okay, and our all-important reverse speed test.
23:17 I'm going to put this into Sport Plus because I think we need to be in the fastest setting possible.
23:22 Put that into reverse, here we go.
23:24 Oh, that's nice and gradual.
23:30 49, 50 kilometres an hour in reverse.
23:34 So if you can imagine a V8 go-kart, that's pretty much what that is.
23:44 It is genuinely exceptional and it is so fast.
23:48 So fast, it is just crazy to think that it exists.
23:51 Yeah, what I mentioned earlier, this is probably going to be the last non-hybrid-assisted big banger SUV.
24:00 I think the next generation of all of these will have some kind of electrification,
24:04 so they will be quicker, but I think they'll lose a lot of the noise,
24:06 just a lot of the soul that they currently have.
24:10 So yeah, look, in terms of downsides, the ride is a little bit sort of on and off
24:15 because you have to manage that whole package.
24:17 It is expensive and that is something you have to live with.
24:20 But look, outside of that, I think it makes up for it with noise and it is just so much fun to drive.
24:26 So let me know in the comments section below, have you bought one of these?
24:28 Are you one of the lucky few?
24:29 Or do you have other Porsches you want to let us know about?
