2008 Cayenne GTS
Mileage:
The fun-to-drive SUV may be an oxymoron, but Porsche has gotten one step closer to proving the concept with the 2008 GTS version of its Cayenne. Available in six-speed manual transmission—a first for a V-8 Cayenne—a sport-tuned adjustable suspension that features a one-inch-lower ride height, stickier tires, a shorter final-drive ratio, and a larger intake manifold that boosts the GTS V-8 output 20 horses to 405. Inside, is a comfortable cabin with supportive seats covered with a handsome combination of leather and a suede-like material called Alcantara. The GTS does offer a wide array of capabilities—with a solid towing capacity of more than 7700 pounds—and has steering and brake feel that one expects in a sports sedan. If you want the best luxury SUV in terms of all-around on-road performance, this is the one to get.
