No reserve. Bid to own. Own a world-class supercar. Come and get it, drive it home. I'll pick you up at the airport. Or I'll help get it loaded with the carrier of your choice to ship it to your location.2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. Only 1200 made. Amazing 520 HP twin turbo aluminum V8. All wheel drive. Huge brakes. Rich two-tone leather interior. Navigation, bluetooth (Mobridge unit), and satellite radio. Tons of features, power moonroof, heated seats (all of them) split automatic HVAC, power folding mirrors,adjustable air suspension, active stability and suspension control. 96k miles, clean Carfax.ALL service records available, including the 80K mile major service. Problematic plastic coolant pipes have been upgraded to the new-style aluminum ones. (Do not buy a Cayenne Turbo unless you know this has been done. It's a huge job requiring 12+ hours of labor at your Porsche dealer.) If you are searching for one of these, you should make sure it has the options/features you want, as they cannot be easily added later. Installing the sat radio in this one was an 8 hour job.Stupendously, unbelievably, breathtakingly fast and nimble, like only a Porsche could be. Beautiful Havana and Tan interior, power everything-I-can-imagine. Auto Xenon HID headlamps, navigation, and TONS more.I bought this amazing vehicle last year as a fun driver through the winter. Now winter is over, and I'm looking for something convertible. There is nothing wrong with it outside of a few imperfections in the paint as usual with any vehicle with 98K miles.More photos on my flickr page here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/montanamadman/sets/72157633383635757/ SpecificationsVEHICLE TYPE: front-engine, 4-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 5-door wagonBASE PRICE: $112,415ENGINE TYPE: twin-turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 32-valve V-8, aluminum block and heads, port fuel injectionDisplacement: 275 cu in, 4510cc Power (SAE net): 520 bhp @ 5500 rpm Torque (SAE net): 530 lb-ft @ 2750 rpmTRANSMISSION: 6-speed automatic with manumatic shiftingDIMENSIONS: Wheelbase: 112.4 in Length: 188.4 in Width: 75.9 in Height: 66.9 in Curb weight: 5200-5900 lbPERFORMANCE RATINGS (MFR'S EST): Zero to 60 mph: 4.8 sec Top speed (governor): 168 mph"Porsche's 520-horsepower super-sport-utility defies logic and definitionPublished: 02/28/2006 - by Chris Walton, Chief Road Test EditorIt was not by accident that Porsche chose to introduce the 2006 Cayenne Turbo S on its own world-class (assembly-line adjacent) racetrack in Leipzig, Germany, as well as in the silty, orange sand dunes outside Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Why not? Because there is simply no other production vehicle that could possibly manage to perform as well as the 520-horsepower Cayenne Turbo S does in both extreme locations."What about the 510-hp Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG or the 420-hp Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8?" you ask. While those two might be able to run a competitive lap at the track, neither one is offered with the kind of dedicated off-road hardware (and software) the Cayenne Turbo S has as standard equipment. Besides, its gargantuan power output, locking center differential (optional rear-axle lock), low-range (2.7-to-1 reduction) transfer case and six-way height-adjustable suspension are what differentiate the Cayenne Turbo S from its competitors and make it a unique offering in the ultrasport-utility segment.And who wouldn't feel anything but glee hammering a nearly 3-ton vehicle around a racetrack (or flying over a dune) at speeds that would seem to suspend the laws of Newton and Euclid? More than a horsepower-fortified sport-ute with the aesthetics of a dented potato, the highly engineered Cayenne Turbo S employs decades' worth of Porsche know-how, track research and pure imagination. Does anybody really need a five-passenger supercar/dune buggy? Probably not, but that doesn't mean you can't want one.520 horses, or about 1,000 camels In the Cayenne Turbo S, Porsche increased the already potent Cayenne Turbo's 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 horsepower and torque 16 and 15 percent, respectively — and yet it consumes no more fuel than its 450-hp brother in normal driving conditions. By enlarging and constructing the twin intercoolers entirely of aluminum, the engineers were able to promote higher efficiency and better flow conditions in the heat exchangers. The result is a reduction of turbo pressure loss by 50 percent. This more rigid system in turn allows the turbocharger pressure to be increased by 2.9 psi up to a maximum of 27.6 psi.In terms of power output among current Porsches, the Cayenne Turbo S is second only to the 605-hp V10 Carrera GT supercar. Porsche claims the 5,200-to-5,900-pound (depending on options) Cayenne Turbo S will run zero to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, and we have no reason to doubt it. That's a few ticks ahead of what we expect from its nearest competitors.However, what's most striking about the Turbo S's driving dynamics is the ever present and ever ready wave of torque upon which the vehicle rides. Maximum torque of 530 lb-ft is available from just 2,750 rpm. There's an effortlessness to the way the Turbo S wills itself to any speed the driver chooses. It's the kind of vehicle that requires periodic speedometer checks because it never feels like it's had enough time nor worked hard enough to find itself at triple-digit speed. If the engine does venture north of 4,000 rpm, the guttural response from the exhaust sounds like a caged lion's roar in anticipation of fresh meat.A ratio for every mood and occasion… Porsche's six-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission is standard equipment on the Cayenne Turbo S. It offers the driver the option of automatic shifts or manual shifting by nudging the selector lever or by thumbing switches on the steering wheel.In auto mode, the intelligent system "learns" a driver's habits, observes the incline of the terrain and notices cornering G-loads to tailor and/or delay shifting to maximize comfort or performance. Further, the driver may, at any time, intervene in automatic mode by touching the thumb switches, temporarily summoning the manual mode.We tried both automatic and manual modes on the racetrack and found that while automatic shifting does, indeed, become more aggressive and sporting with each passing lap, the manual mode was best suited to the demands of the driver, offering better control of the vehicle — especially when Porsche Stability Management (PSM) was disabled.The Porsche Traction Management (PTM) four-wheel-drive system is based on an all-encompassing approach that incorporates a number of different electronic systems and traditional hardware. In simple terms, the engine's power is routed through a central multiplate clutch operated by an electric motor. This clutch apportions power to the vehicle's front and rear axles.In normal driving, the split is rear-biased at 62 percent to lend a familiar and sporting demeanor. However, unlike similar variable-locking clutch-based systems, PTM can route 100 percent of the drive power to either axle — not a maximum of 50 percent to each. Drawing on information gathered from the vehicle's speed, lateral acceleration, steering angle and throttle position, the system constantly adjusts the power split to both axles.Many manufacturers' systems end there — with one system that is optimized for either on- or off-road use. Not Porsche. This system is so highly developed and flexible that it's as useful as an all-wheel-drive sports car as it is as a capable snow (or sand) mobile."
