    Your right it is a stunt however i still reckon the Patrol and a 200 would be more HD than the cayenne. Not so much in terms of engine power but in the overall reliability from good engineering.

    I reckon that if i were to take the cayenne and the Patrol through the middle of Australia the cayene would fall apart. Probably like the mercedes g wagons did when they tried to pull that stunt. The way i see it our friends in the middle east absolutely hammer the patrols at high speeds climbing, jumping and crashing over sand dunes and they dont break and last. Thats why they love them over there, even all the police 4wds are patrols. Q

    Did u like the dune climb?

    However i reckon the big v8 goes alright. Sure its not ideal for the slow stuff but hell is it fun in the sand.
    With the fuel consumption you are getting no wonder you are happy. Some or maybe many other Y62 owners dont seem to be getting as good as that, so maybe you need to write a manual on how to drive it?!

    Ive actually thought that. Some blokes just struggle but then again the engine noise under load is very temping....throttle happy me thinks

    About 7 or 8 months ago John Cadogan had a humourous look at the Cayenne towing the Airbus. He went into all the physics involved and why he was so underwhelmed.

    Was talking to a VW mechanic recently and he said in one of their commercials, the Touareg guys staged it (ie cheated). They made sure to add several tons to the car (changed the suspension so it rode normally) and welded the axles for strength so it could tow massive weights. As for aeroplane and hills, type the following into google and all will be explained in 15 mins or so.
