2024 Porsche Cayenne S Review | German performance car brand bucks the trend and brings back the V8

There was a time about 20 years ago when a lot of performance-oriented models switched from six to eight cylinders in the quest for more power.

The reverse is usually true these days, with most car-makers downsizing to six or ever four cylinders to lower emissions and fuel consumption.

Porsche has bucked this trend with the comprehensively upgraded 2024 Porsche Cayenne S by switching back to V8 power for the first time since 2014.

Is it a good move? Watch the video above and all will be revealed.

Nice review. Would have been good to compare to the top seller in that segment

Do you think the same about rear axel steering as active roll bars. I was only going to option air suspension and leave the other three options torque vectoring included off the build. Great video! Insightful and honest.

What’s the colour on your test drive car?
