Bangalore, India – A 2004 Porsche Cayenne S, an iconic blend of luxury and muscle, has hit the market in Bangalore, sporting a price tag of INR 4.75 lakh, a steal for a car that merges sports car performance with SUV practicality. This particular model, flaunting a robust 4,511 cc, V8 petrol engine, churns out a staggering 335 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque, promising a blend of speed and strength.
The first of its kind, the original Porsche Cayenne, also known as the 9PA, was a daring foray into the SUV domain for Porsche. Critics were initially divided, but the Cayenne quickly proved its mettle with its superior performance, nimble handling, and robust engines. The model on sale, the Cayenne S, is powered by a formidable 4.5L V8 engine with advanced features like wet-sump lubrication and variable valve timing. With a capability to sprint from 0–60 mph in a mere 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 150 mph (241 kph), it’s a vehicle that refuses to be ignored.
Not only was the Cayenne Porsche’s first SUV, but it was also their first venture into off-road vehicles since the Super and Junior tractors of the 1950s and the first Porsche with four doors. Since 2014, the Cayenne has been the elder sibling to the smaller Macan SUV.
The Porsche has sparked a flurry of comments online, capturing the imagination of car enthusiasts. Abrarlone09 voiced an affectionate sentiment, saying, “She will look tough after a much-needed makeover ❤️.” Meanwhile, agastyaa.._ praised the reliability of the first-generation V8 Cayennes. The_unknown_o_o humorously remarked on the vehicle’s evolution, calling it a “Porsche before hitting puberty.” Bibek._ noted its dual nature as a sports car and off-roader, lamenting the loss of its off-road credentials in later generations. Lastly, raj_chhabria21 wittily commented on its age and pricing, “My god a Porsche that too two decades old. No wonder it’s selling for less than a Verna. The repair works would be higher than the price.”
This DL registered 2004 Porsche Cayenne, a vintage gem, is more than just a vehicle; it’s a piece of automotive history waiting for its next chapter in the bustling streets of Bangalore.
