You’re a good uncle to pick up your nephew in such a sensible vehicle. Nothing ostentatious about this thing at all. Keep up the great content sir!

One of if not my all time fav videos you've ever put out. Reason: The no-doubt-whatsoever / no-filter reaction you provided once you took off in it. Almost felt like I was behind the wheel myself. Love it!

Of course there are a lot of extra options for this vehicle. Just head over to the Porsche optimizer and take a look. Some of the more expensive options are Thermal and noise insulated glass, Burmeister, Night vision assist, Electric roll-up blind, Passenger display as well as others I have not mentioned. I think the sheet you were referring to was the particular build you were testing. Unfortunately right now the vehicle is on a Porsche Stop-sale for a safety issue. Hopefully that will be addressed in the next month or two.

Thank you, as ever, for your unique take on vehicles and vehicle reviews. Please note that, the ZF 8-speed can be calibrated in a wide variety of ways - up to and surpassing the capabilities of a dual-clutch transmission. In terms of speed, feel, and efficiency, there is no disadvantage of the ZF 8HP to a dual-clutch transmission. Its function and performance all comes down to the calibration (of the transmission control unit; TCU). Some 8HP calibrations are much more crisp, responsive, and feelsome than dual-clutch transmissions / calibrations (and vice versa). Think M5 CS or Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio; which offer far more crisp shifts than a Golf R or PDK-equipped 997.2 911 turbo, for example. However, you can't say that about a 330i's 8HP calibration. The 8HP has multiple clutches that offer overlapping shifts, without torque interruption, just like a dual-clutch does. It can also be calibrated to provide a 'kick', on upshifts, and under higher loads. It can also directly - and not sequentially - downshift to any gear (within rev range), 6-2, 6-4, 5, 3, 5-2, for example, or any other combination. In some cases, a dual-clutch transmission will incur a downshift delay - if a target gear is on the same gear set as the current gear or if it has pre-selected a higher gear and conditions change and a downshift is requested at that time. The 8HP has no such inherent disadvantage. And, in many applications, the torque converter is only used at a standstill or near-standstill - as when 'creeping' forward or at the very early stages of accelerating from a standstill. Otherwise, the torque converter clutch locks up, from as early as 800 rpm, when accelerating, and stays locked, through gear shifts - essentially forming a direct connection, from the engine to the transmissions output shaft. The latest 8HP generations are also lighter and more efficient than equivalent dual-clutches. As of late, the only time a dual-clutch transmission is advantageous is for mid-engined vehicles (as the 8HP is generally too long for such applications) or in vehicles with engines with an RPM range significantly above ~8,000. And, this is all without naming any of the capabilities that the 8HP has that a dual-clutch transmission is incapable of. Otherwise, what many complain about or perceive as impediments / flaws (of an 8HP) are generally the doing of the TCU calibration; and not the hardware itself.

I road passenger in one of these and it was the most amazing ride ever.

Beautiful vehicle. What a badass Cayenne. It amazes me that at over 5000 lbs. it’s faster to 60 mph than a CT5V Blackwing with an automatic trans (not that that is the Caddy’s strongpoint). Of course paying over $200K should buy you a lot of stuff…

Yup, my first new car was a '78 Trans Am. You could get it with 14 or 15" wheels. Gotta love that brakes are larger than that now.

If I would buy a performance SUV - it would be this one! Great car. Thank you George for bringing us into the Recaro Seat - we are living in awesome times - top peak of any kind of gas powered vehicles. Smart Uncle trick btw. it is the cousin of the Urus, so.....technically you satisfied both parties! Congrats. The XM review was great too and the design sticks out compared to the Cayenne which blends in. Its good to have choices!

excellent video well done and you do a great job! Can get these in New Zealand and I'm mr. America but I think I'd still buy the Urus Performante over this

I own one...LOVE IT.

very good suv good test video.

Just saw this car on the freeway and it’s fire

Awesome review man!!😊

Your subscriptions are surprisingly low. You are really good at this.

This (or the upcoming Turbo e-hybrid) vs the XM Red Label would be a decent comparo if you were'nt able to score a Urus or Purosangue.

It also gets 18 mpg which is great considering its power towing and overall weight.

Magnificent

How is the ride quality compared to cayenne S or an X5M in comfort mode?

“Holy crap, it’s like your hair is on fire!” 😂

All of your videos bring a smile, but this one is special. I have had two Cayenne's but never one that is dynamic. Being 80 years old, I probably never will. Easy driving is now my future. This Porsche needs to be run hard to be happy.

Another great episode. Another great SUV better than the Urus

Who tows anything in a Turbo GT and how can a tow hitch be accommodated with the central exhaust design anyway?

This has got to be the best vehicle you’ve driven. I didn’t hear any negative reactions/remarks about the vehicle.

It is really beautiful I like it. It’s better than the xm

Nice crossover.

This is the ultimate soccer mom SUV. And, yes, I wish I had it (the SUV).

Ti Kanis, my friend! Another great review! I love the GT, but it loses the utility factor IMO with no factory towing hitch available, even just for mounting a bike rack per se. The treadwear rating on those grippy tires probably means you are replacing them annually, too. I will stick with my 22' Turbo non-coupe (with a hitch) for the time being. 😎👍🏼

I was lucky enough to get one of the last PTS orders in since mid 22. Porsche froze out all paint to sample orders. I had delivered a velvet purple metallic ‘23. It is so stunning. They have the PTS option on the digital sight but are canceling the PTS portion of orders. Notice when you pick a PTS color the spec picture changes to a horrible green. I guess a warning that you can’t get custom colors.

good one

And available in South Africa .... yeah I know its strange that Porsche keep us further down under in mind too.....😊

Absolutely brilliant! Uncle of the month and year.

King Suv love it ❤❤❤❤

Super Thanks and we need and wish 8K Photos or videos in Real Best 8K 60fps or 120fps HDR10+ resolution clarity quality and Sound in full HD 3D Stereo Surround , Soon Please

I like it 🔥

Honest review

The facelift turbo GT will not be available in europe at all?

Lucky you. In your country just 200k. As mentioned we can’t buy the 2023 model in Europe. The old model GT costs a bit more then of €300k so that is $330k in basic trim. With a few options it is $380k.

Excitement for Motoman,not much for Greta.😂 Great car, great price😮, great review,THANKS YOU Mr. Motoman!

Getting an order slot on these bad boys is pretty hard to find these days. Even if you do, dealers are asking for 20K over MSRP - and I’m not even in CA or anything!

Your biiig smile in the thumbnail says it all. 😁

that gap on the hood/driver side wheel well, looks like the same GAP on my 2007 monte carlo with 270,000 miles LOL. watch at 11:48 I see the same GAP everyday.

YEAH BABY!!!!

Yup. This over XM

I thought you cannot add a tow hitch due to exhaust design?

Thanks!

We need hood scoops on the Turbo GT

Any chance of a 2024 BMW X5M review coming soon?

Alright Motoman.. the 2024 Cayenne e-hybrid coupé is next to showcase!

I hope they fixed the transfer case issues by now.

This is available in Europe specially here in the Uk

The best SUV in the world❤

Wow

Kinda looks blue sitting in the shade there.

Huh! There actually is a Porsche dealer in New Caledonia. Who knew!!!

The most important question is, did it get your nephew's seal of approval? By the way, I do agree with your observation regarding the paintjob, I'm halfway across the world from you, M, and all the ones I saw were in this exact same color.

"Tiptronic for the towing" which is unfortunate for a vehicle that can't be specced with the trailer hitch

Ostentatious all day, every day :))

For an SUV it's an amazing achievement. Not my cup of tea, and vastly different from my manual 992, but if you need a fast SUV it's great. I just wish they kept the analog tach.

Needs the PDK transmission. Towing capacity is irrelevant in this vehicle and doesn’t explain it having the Tiptronic transmission. A tow hitch can’t even be optioned

How come you would feel the same after getting hit by the bricks and 2x4😊

Name of color?

Id take one. If i could afford it 😢

I made a huge mistake when I bought the 2022 plug in Cayenne when I got the comfort seats instead of sports seats. My ass is sliding all over the place when turning. Plus now I have back issues as well and the seat is just not comfortable. My wife’s Ford S-Max is much much better 😭😭😭

I almost bout a 2021 model . Glad I did not, I still have the 958.2 TTS , I save my self from going to jail and tons of money in speeding tickets . I still dream of this GT . Maybe in a few years as a CPO . It’s by far best of its class yes including the jimmy come lately the other horse from Italy .

OHH SANTA MARIA MADRE DE GOD!OHH SAN JUDAS TADEO!!!!!!SUCH A LOVELY POSHE!!!!!!!!!

Crazy this car cost over $400k AUD

The f pace svr all the way.. half the price & looks amazing.

Tested 0 to 60 in 2.7 seconds

This dashboard is the biggest turnoff in the new Cayenne; it looks utiliterian to me like you are riding a fresh pickup

Motoman! Climate change is the most existential threat to our planet every 12 years since the beginning of the 1900s! We need to take this stuff seriously!

It is available in Moldova, and Moldova is in Europe

I see we are attempting to remain comfortably numb for lack of a better term. It is possible to look past this trendy reliance on the Gray color palette, as dreary as they may seem. However, are we really just going to continually ignore the bronze wheels? After all, it is a Porsche _not_ a Subaru, and it's 2023 - not the early 00's. Nevertheless, I stand by my previous statement. Lastly, may we formally and respectfully request a review of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio? Either the previous generation or the current refresh. I am sure the viewers would cherish your thoughts on the Alfa platform versus the *competition. Please and thank you. Stay classy my friend. *EDITED for grammar.

Fyi it’s pronounced cayEnne like the pepper, not cayanne lol

I hate this isn’t available with 2+1 back seat. I got 3 kids.

12:23 rich upper class people problems LOL

You lost me at no pan roof

a shame…a German car which is no longer sold in Germany 👏🏻

This vs XM?! Is this even a serious question? Listen, I am hugE BMW fan. I presently own 12 of them and I have over over 25 of them in my life time. However, iI was hugely disappointed by the XM. Red Line or not. This Turbo GT, on the other hand, is nearly perfect. The only reason why I am not buying one is because our URUS S is due to be delivered to us in NOV 2023 and with Lamborghini you get fancier interiors and greater color choices. By the way, instead of the hideous XM, I am just gonna go ahead and buy another XB7. Same money as the Red Line but much classier and an overall a better product than the XM of any kind.

They say it is faster than the Urus. They say it handles better than the Urus. They say this is the better option. All these arguments mean nothing to me compared to the Urus, but i respect Porsche.

You get what you vote for sans the automotive lobby’s wishes. That’s why CAFE standards killed the US wagons in favor of SUVs… because the incentives shifted.

hopefully not a lot of cyclists on that blind corner test track/road

Exterior Design is getting worse. But new interior is fine and better.

I clicked the Like button but when I hear you use Lord name, I unliked it. :(

E-hybrid 740ps runs like a joke 😂

I think the engineers are driving the Taycan, but nice try.

MMTV titles for the 20th EV merecedes dishwasher bluetooth thing with 9 middle names and 2 last ones: This is the best thing in history ever, no more need the ICE power. MMTV title for another amazing physics defying Porsche : You get what you vote for. I don't get some of these purists and how they'll give EVs a pass but may the universe FORBID SUVs evolve into just another shape of car.

XM = poser. Cayenne GT = the real deal. However, if I had the money, I'd be an idiot if I bought a Cayenne GT instead of a 911 Turbo. SUVs are a performance comprise, so why would any one pay just as much or more than a sports car for one? It's like serving Sirloin instead of Filet Mignon and saying it's almost the same because the chef cut them and cooked them the same way. Whatever.

Still I would prefer X5M competition almost half of price and better machine overall.

Greta thurnberg won’t like this 😮

How noisy can this car get!

Problem with this kind of car is there's a douche that wants to race you at each stoplight. Very tiring. Needs debadging

What a beast. Unfortunately, another beautiful Porsche ruined by yellow calipers. They really need to let go of this as the default color for CC disks….too many clueless dentists not unticking the box.

Keep voting Greta … Europe

It's not 2 seconds faster than the Cayenne S. 1.5 seconds to be exact. As we know, half a second is a big difference at these speeds. The Cayenne S is 4.4 0-60 with the sport chono package which is pretty damn fast for any SUV.

I like it. 🩵💙 It's cool. 😎 Needs beige interior, woodgrain and sunroof.👍
