In this episode of Throttle House, the guys delve into the intriguing comparison between the new Porsche Cayenne S and its older counterpart, a 2009 Cayenne S. They pose a question that might make you question your sanity: why would anyone drop a whopping $150,000 on a brand new Cayenne when you can snag a used one for a mere fraction of the price, around $10,000? It's a valid point, and one that they aim to explore.
First, they examine the heart of the matter: the engines. The new Cayenne S boasts a twin-turbo V8, while the older model rocks a naturally aspirated V8. It's a battle of power and performance, with the team experiencing the exhilarating drive of the new Cayenne S, thanks to its sharp handling and impressive acceleration. But don't count out the older model just yet, as it still holds its own with its classic V8 charm.
Next, they put WeatherTech liners to the test, but not in the way you might expect. Instead of showcasing their effectiveness against the messes kids can make, they opt for a more... artistic approach. Let's just say it involves paints and arts and crafts, because who said Porsches were only for serious business?
Of course, no comparison would be complete without a visual inspection. They delve into the design differences between the two models, pointing out the outdated features of the older Cayenne. It's a bit of a mixed bag, with the team appreciating the sleekness of the new Cayenne's exterior, but also acknowledging that the older model has its own unique charm.
Lastly, they dive into the interiors, where luxury and comfort reign supreme. The new Cayenne boasts a modern, tech-filled cabin, complete with a digital gauge cluster and a polarized screen. It's a feast for the eyes, but the team does note some minor flaws, like the polarized screen causing visibility issues. On the other hand, the older Cayenne still holds up with its comfortable seats and spaciousness, proving that even a decade-old model can provide a pleasant driving experience.
In the end, Throttle House leaves us pondering the value for money of the older Cayenne and the allure of the new model. It's a tough decision, but one that ultimately comes down to personal preference and budget. So, whether you're a fan of the latest and greatest or you prefer the charm of a classic, there's a Cayenne out there for you.
