2006 Porsche Cayenne S Titanium

2006 Porsche Cayenne S Titanium – Photo Gallery: Porsche recently announced that there won't be any 2007 Cayenne models tearing up the asphalt, preferring instead to halt production and allow dealers to sell vehicles on hand before an updated Cayenne bows for the 2008 model year. As a result, Porsche has created a new model for the Cayenne, dubbed the Titanium Edition. The special edition features titanium colored accents inside and out, as well as option packaging.

Powertrain

Powering the 2006 Porsche Titanium Edition Cayenne S is a 4.5-liter V8 engine producing 340 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. The V8 features four overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, variable inlet timing, an aluminum block and cylinder heads.

Performance

Even though the Cayenne feels – and is – heavy, it moves out like a track star when required. For its size, the Porsche Cayenne S is very agile and car-like, achieving a 0-60 time of 6.8 seconds with a top speed listed at 150 mph.

Suspension

Though few owners of the Cayenne will ever venture onto dirt, Porsche wants them to know the Cayenne is just as capable off road as it is ripping around the streets. The 2006 Porsche Cayenne rides on an independent suspension front and rear that provides a very comfortable ride around town, yet is firm enough to carve up a mountain road and is capable enough to tackle an off-road trail.

Comfort Features

The Cayenne's Titanium edition comes equipped with a multifunctional tilt and telescoping leather steering wheel, retractable and heated outside mirrors, 12-way power and heated adjustable leather front seating with memory control, one touch up and down windows, privacy glass, a Bose 14-speaker audio system and cruise control.

Rear Comfort

Rear passengers ride in comfort with ample room, leather seats and a fold-down center console that provides rest for weary arms. Cupholders are located at the rear of the center console. There is also lot's of headroom as well as knee and foot space.

Interior

There is an unmistakable feel of quality and luxury when seated behind the wheel of the Porsche Cayenne. The well-executed interior is layered with titanium-colored accents and trim pieces. Front and rear, the leather seats are comfortable and head, knee and foot room is plentiful. There is also a good amount of cargo space available with the rear seats in the up position. Overall, the 2006 Porsche Cayenne S titanium package is a well-equipped and comfortable ride that gets you to your destination with style.

Exterior

There is no mistaking the Porsche Cayenne for anything else on the road. From the distinctive front-end treatment, all the way around to the back, it carries the look of a Porsche. The aggressive design is due for an upgrade for the 2008 model year, with a new design on the distant horizon.

Wheels

A sharp looking set of wheels is necessary when rolling in a Porsche Cayenne. The Cayenne S is shoed with 8x18-inch light alloy rims at each corner with 255/55 tires on the standard model with 19-and 20-inch wheels available as an option. On the Titanium Edition, each wheel is color-keyed with a titanium metallic finish.

Exhaust

At idle and under normal driving conditions, the Porsche Cayenne exhibits an almost inaudible idle, but romp the throttle and the burble turns into a hearty growl. The exhaust makes its way to the rear through a twin-chamber exhaust with one three-way metal-based catalytic converter on either side exiting the rear through highly styled and sturdy dual exhaust tips. A set of tips decorate each side of the Cayenne's rear view.

Pricing

Base price starts at $64,900, and well-equipped models sneak in under $70,000, including a $815 destination charge. Porsche created the Titanium Edition to entice buyers by packaging the most desired options as standard equipment, and pricing it about ten percent less than a similarly equipped Cayenne S.
