Ukuthi nje akukho lutho olusebenzayo oluvuna indlu yaseStuttgart. I-SUV iyikho konke okungafanele kube yi-sports car: yinde, iyasinda futhi inkulu njengenkundla yebhola. Isiqalo asibukeki sithembisa neze… Mayelana nobunjiniyela kuwumsebenzi onzima njengokuzama ukuguqula isitini sibe into ethambile, elula futhi enomusa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengoba sazi, i-physics nabangane bayo "amandla adonsela phansi", "amandla amaphakathi" kanye "ne-inertia" nabo bajoyina iqembu ukuze baguqule noma iyiphi i-SUV efika phambi kwayo, ibe yinto ethunyelwa kusukela endaweni yokubuka eguquguqukayo. njengendlovu endala.
Konke engiqeda ukukusho kuyiqiniso. Kodwa akulona iqiniso elincane ukuthi i-Porsche isivele inamashumi eminyaka enkani kukharikhulamu yayo, uma kukhulunywa ngokuphambana nezimiso ezijwayelekile zefiziksi. Ngikukhumbuza ukuthi i-Porsche 911, ngokombono wombono, inenjini etholakala endaweni engafanele: ngemuva kwe-axle yangemuva. Kepha kuyasebenza… futhi kuzoba njalo nale Cayenne GTS.

Izinombolo ezingaphezu kwenele, ngokubambisana no-gearbox we-Tiptronic S onamagiya ayisishiyagalombili, ziqhubekisela phambili le SUV ijubane elingaphezu kuka-260km/h, bese igijima isuka ku-0 iye ku-100km/h ngemizuzwana engu-5.7.
