Large SUVs such as the new Porsche Cayenne have overcome their barge-on-wheels status and are becoming more fun to drive with each new generation.
In the case of the Cayenne, Porsche officials refer to it as being "more 911-like than ever", to emphasize its handling and corner abilities, which can be enhanced, in the case of the Turbo, with optional rear-axle steering and Dynamic Chassis Control roll stabilization.
Feel free to ask if the Cayenne can drift - and the answer is 'yes', quite easily, actually, especially if the asphalt is wet, as proved by L'Argus, in the following video. The journalists had the chance to go sideways in Porsche's new flagship SUV during a technical presentation on a closed course, and they appear to have enjoyed the short, but thrilling ride.
Before moving to the actual footage, we will remind you that the Porsche Cayenne Turbo is now in its third generation after its presentation at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. Motivation comes from a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine that makes 550PS (542hp) and 770Nm (568lb-ft) of torque. Naught to 100km/h (62mph) takes as little as 3.9sec, with the optional Sport Chrono Package, and this version will eventually top out at 286km/h (178mph).
