When Porsche launched the first Cayenne SUV in 2002, together with Volkswagen, dyed-in-the-wool Porsche fans thought the end of the world had come.

In the meantime, over 760,000 Cayennes have been manufactured, making it a global bestseller. We followed the development and testing of the new Cayenne over a period of three years on behalf of n-tv.
