Default How fast have you gotten your Cayenne?

Anyone ever taken your Cayenne to the track? How did it handle? How fast?

At the PDS (Barber Racetrack, Birmgingham, ALA), the instructors drove us (4 to a car) around the track in some Turbo S Cayennes they had. I glanced over at the speedo on a short straight and saw 128mph. I'm sure they went faster in the longer straight sections, I was trying to keep and eye on the car in front of us so I could get a picture when it rolled. They handled pretty well for a big vehicle. I asked and was told the car had no modifications.

Fastest I have been in a Cayenne was 256 kph in Germany (pool car, not my own). That was all the S had in her.

I did 100mph ten times in a row... so that's 1000mph.

You have to fold the mirrors in to go really fast.

That's a joke, right?

Lewis, I can only assume that, by posting this link, you are suggesting that, when dropping a Cayenne from high altitude, one should fold in the mirrors, so as to achieve maximal air speed before it hits the ground.

I can't imagine that there are many (any?) road courses in the US with long enough straights that would allow one to reach a speed in a Cayenne that would be substantially hampered by the mirrors. Maybe on a banked NASCAR oval.

C'mon. We know you want to...
