I thought all Cayennes were automatic...

 

Only on the V6 can you get a manual transmission... Only special pre-paid orders will Porsche give us one of these

 

Actually you can order the Cayenne S with manual gearbox, there arent many in manual as hits resale value many want automatic gearbox Cayenne's.

 

Mohammed,
In US only the v6 comes in manual. I would like to drive one. But yeah like you have said resale value would kill u in a heartbeat. Plus SuV is family car meaning girls drive it too and they have driving stick shift.

 

Thanks for the heads up but in Germany you can get it with the 6speed manual, I cant imagine driving a Manual SUV its not the norm as usually most of the SUV's come with auto/tiptronics that compensate the manual gearbox.

 

put PDCC and PASM and my guess is just imagine driving your 911 but about 50cm higher!

got to shift that machine; that way it becomes a tall car that will blow over everything my 911 bottoms on!

 

very, very, rare vehicle....someone here needs to scoop this one up

 

Sounds cool. Seems like the 6-sp would be a lot of fun. probably get tiring after a bit on the big suv, but still fun for a while.

 

That's essentially what the new Cayenne GTS is

 

Agree with you

 

Sounds kinda interesting. Do you still have it?

 

Sorry guys the car sold yesterday. I think we might be ordering another one. Was one of the most fun Cayennes I have driven!

 

With the 6spd does the V6 still feel sluggish. I looked for months for a preowned 6speed Cayenne.

 

i just put 50km on one around Ottawa; not bad but as it had 12km on it i was restrained.

under 4k rpm it is slow but about there it picks up and has some torque. not perfect though as the V6 is a little small. notwithstanding, between 4.5k rpm and 6 it wasn't slow. the 3rd and 4th gears were nice and when you can rev the sh*t out of it, i think it will be a lot of fun.
