Every Cayenne Turbo DRAG RACE

We’ve got our hands on the Mk1 Porsche Cayenne Turbo, the Mk2 Turbo S, and the Mk3 Turbo S e-hybrid, and we’re about to go full send down an airstrip to see how performance has changed across these three generations!

So let’s compare the stats. Starting with the Mk1, it’s powered by a 4.5-litre twin-turbo V8 that can deliver 450hp and 620Nm of torque. It tips the scales at around 2,300kg.

Next up it’s the Mk2, and this Turbo S houses a 4.8-litre twin-turbo V8 that’s good for 570hp and 800Nm. Surprisingly, it’s lighter than the Mk1, weighing around 2,200kg.

Then finally we have the Mk3 Turbo S e-hybrid. This is equipped with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 coupled with an electric motor, and combined they deliver a glorious 680hp and 900Nm of torque! Naturally, though, the hybrid tech weighs it down a bit. As a result, it tips the scales at around 2,500kg.

So what do you think, is the result a foregone conclusion? Or could the Mk2 snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Yanni's impersonation of Matt is spot-on. Hilarious

Over 10 years old but a facelifted gen 1 (957) in GTS trim still has my heart racing

I must say, these generations drag races are really cool. I swear no other channel does anything like this. Amazing photography and shots. Could you do one with the BMW 3 series as a generation race. Am I just a lover for Porsche because their vehicles seem to have a timeless appeal, my opinion.

nice video! To be fair though, you guys should’ve taken a turbo s for the first gen cayenne too, to compare apples to apples. First gen cayenne turbo S had 521 hp, so quite a bit more than the standard turbo

Please do an S-class generations drag race from W116 to W223

"Turbo" is 1 trim/engine below "Turbo S". The 2006 1st generation had Turbo S also, which came in at 521 PS initially, and the 2008 updated 1st gen "Turbo S" had 550 PS.

Love these multi generational races. So interesting to see the progress.

Second generation turbo S facelift is the one to have, that 4.8 V8 is epic! It can tow an A380!

The old one looks so good with those big silver 5 spoke rims.

Yianni Impersonating Mat was outrageous. Spoiler alert, he is going to do a car review soon, let's hope it happens :)
