This is a 2010 Porsche Cayenne Transsyberia and it’s the coolest Cayenne they ever made. The Transsyberia was a factory built off-road version of the Cayenne with some impressive upgrades to help it perform off the pavement.

Today I’m reviewing this Transsyberia and I’ll show you the many quirks and features. I’ll also get behind the wheel and review the driving experience.
The Cayenne S Transsyberia was originally a racing vehicle designed for the Transsyberia rally, in which only 285 were built. Inside, the car was fitted with black leather seats and aluminum trims. The instrument cluster featured four analog dials with white background and red needles inside aluminum rims.

The street version was later built to commemorate Porsche’s victory in the Transsyberia rally. It is only available in the 9PA chassis with the 405 hp (302 kW) direct-inject 4.8-L V8 from the Cayenne GTS. Sales began in January 2009, with a targeted production run of 600 road vehicles worldwide (285 for North America), but far fewer were actually built (102 for USA, 17 for Canada including 3 which were 6 speed manual).
