Another blazingly fast Cayenne
TechArt has introduced their MAGNUM, a take on Porsche's Cayenne SUV. Engine modifications include larger turbos, a bigger intercooler, changes to the intake and exhaust, and ECU reprogramming. This is typical stuff for a turbocharged engine, and it produces typically impressive results, yielding 600 HP. That's enough for a 4.5-second 0-60 MPH time, and a top speed of over 180 MPH. The body kit includes flares that add about 3" in width, which gives the MAGNUM a stance that I really like; it's more like a wagon than an SUV, although I imagine it looks bigger in person. Those that opt for the factory air suspension get a TechArt module that allows lowering the vehicle by 60 mm, or raising it by 70 mm for "tough off-road use". Just so you know, I didn't type that last part with a straight face. Pricing is not stated, and you know what they say about those who have to ask.

Ugly car made even uglier... wow, I didn't think it could have been done.
I'll take the VW Toureg diesel please and have enough money left over for an aluminum trailer and an Elise.

Kamil - the Tourag and the Cayenne are like seperated-at-birth! I can't see how you think one is good looking while the other is not.
I don't know why, but a porsche SUV is just a joke and an embarrasment to me. A porsche sport wagon somehow is not...

I hate to break it to them but there is already a vehicle in production called the Magnum.
