Price: R2 817 000 Engine: 4,0-litre, V8, twinturbo-petrol + electric motor Transmission: 8-speed automatic Combined power: 500 kW @ 5 750-6 000 r/min Combined torque: 900 N.m @ 1 500-5 000 r/min 0-100 km/h: 3,8 seconds* Top speed: 295 km/h* Fuel consumption: 3,9 L/100 km* CO2: 90 g/km Rivals: Bentley Bentayga V8; Range Rover Sport SVR

Leaving the car park in E-power mode, there is no telling this is the pinnacle Porsche SUV and the fastest production Cayenne ever. The 100 kW/ 400 N.m electric motor is providing near-silent propulsion as we navigate the congested roads in Düsseldorf. Even turning onto the motorway and increasing the speed to 120 km/h does not awaken the fearsome 4,0-litre V8 twin-turbo-petrol.
