Earlier this week, I was invited by Porsche to drive a few of its cars at the company’s experience centre in Silverstone. Porsche 911 Turbos, Cayman and Boxster GTS models, Panameras and new Macans were all on offer for a thorough track session, but my gaze was aimed at something a little slower-paced. After all, I’ve experienced brutal launch control getaways in most of these cars already.
What I was curious to know, then, was just how well a Cayenne copes as an off-road vehicle. To find out, I headed straight to the sports car maker’s purpose-built off-road section and jumped inside a Diesel version of the car that featured Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus which controls the rear diff. Before we headed out, the Cayenne’s air suspension was raised by six inches to increase the approach/departure angles and potential wading depth.
