Yeah thats true, I am sure it is not great for off-roading. We actually have not even taken our jeep off road lol. It even has a lift kit and everything.

I want the Cayenne Turbo S, I love fast SUVs. Its like having a sports cars with all the amenities of an SUV.

This hybrid is faster around the Nurburgring than the Carrera GT.


It has comparable speed to a ZR1 (within a couple seconds on a 7 mile track)


What's not to love?

I hate hybrids, but this car is awesome. This car gives you fuel economy which you'd never see in a traditional car, with performance that less than a handful of production cars ever made can give you. Like I said, whats not to love?

Hating a Prius is one thing, but hating a hybrid that goes around the Nurburgring as fast as it does just because it's a hybrid.....

Why are we hating on hybrids? Prius aside, what's the point of hating on something that saves money on mileage? I think this is a very big step in the right direction for all future cars. It just doesn't make sense to waste so much energy on big engines when there is potential to get the same or even greater power at a lower energy cost. I guess you guys don't want flying cars.
