That hideous monstrosity would illicit cavity searches. The sharp snap of a latex glove and dibble trying to find the back of your teeth

It's even more "drug dealer" than a RRS

Don't normally like late E Types but...

That is a lovely thing but it doesn't look like it's had a brake upgrade. Years ago, a dad of one of my ex-girlfriends had a 1969 E-Type Coupe and he let me have a go. It was utterly terrifying as the brakes were only slightly better than wind resistance at slowing the thing down. Apparently, they're all like that unless they've had a brake upgrade.

I think this looks great, but don’t think I would be brave enough to own a car in that colour.

Me neither

Is that colour called "Golddusche"?

Ah, you’ve explained why it exists now - German car, should have guessed.

Neighbour has one and it looks fucking horrible in the flesh.

Far less torque than the Q7 but similar power. Not sure if it would cope with towing.

I tow 3.4 tonnes with the wheezy Defender, I’m sure that will cope just fine

Ste and Nic have gone down this route!

So much to unpack about this car.... Quite the assault on the senses.

That’s... a bit much.

Still looks better than the horrendous mid-engined thing they produced though.

Shall we make a convertible or a full on track monster next?

Yes.

It's awful - it would be ok as a hardtop without the wing.

Is that Champagne-something-or-other? I'm sure they used that as a launch colour for the 996, was in brochures and looked good, but in a "nice but I'd never actually own it" sort of a way.

Yeah, but Ste was adamant his X5 had a bigger boot than a Disco 4, so I'm not sure I trust his judgement

Boot is tiny in the Cayenne, noticeably smaller than the Touareg and not as useful because of the rake of screen. Cayenne’s are not cheap to keep running.

Bin the spoiler and wrap it in a dark colour and it'd be ace! I love top down motoring and having that engine to listen to would be superb.

As it is though, it's bloody awful.

Voice of recent experience ? Not completely surprising to be fair but if you've got some pointers that'd be handy.

Also surprised the boot is significantly smaller. What's the driving position like compared to the Touareg ?
