Our 2026 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Rating
FORPORSCHE RATING: 9/10
Pros
729 hp from the twin-turbo 4.0L V8; Nurburgring SUV lap record holder; motorsport-derived suspension; Coupe-only body adds aerodynamic efficiency; the most track-focused Cayenne ever built.
Cons
Coupe body only means no standard SUV height; premium pricing; very stiff sport suspension for daily roads; limited rear passenger space.
Verdict
The ultimate Cayenne. Nothing from Porsche in the SUV range drives quite like this. Track-focused engineering in a production SUV makes it a genuinely special machine. A motorsport achievement.
