I rode in the V8 diesel Cayenne in Leipzig. Amazing torque!
Doesn't sound like a diesel and drives like a gasoline car, if I don't look at the tachometer I would not have known it was a diesel.
I think you've been drinking way too much of the Porsche Kool Aid recently . You need to spend more time in the V12 Italian cars to remind yourself of what an engine should sound like . This claim about the diesel is made way too often. Its a sudden hit of torque I'll grant you, but then it flattens out completely and is a big disappointment , and if your window is open rather than shut it sounds very much a diesel even from start up, less than a diesel did 10 year a go but still a diesel. There is only one abomination greater than a diesel and that is a Prius .
Lol, well I did ordered a Cayenne TTS! Confirmed June production, delivery date is scheduled to be Sept 2nd :)
Anyway, I didn't say the V8 diesel sounds good, I just say it doesn't sounds like a normal diesel.
