Why no road tests for the Cayenne S

[Lapua6547]

Bit churlish really but I am disappointed that there is such a lack of road tests or even reviews on the S version. Both the Turbo and Base versions have been tested and discussed endlessly. The only one that has come reasonably close is Porsche Cayenne S Electric Is The Drivetrain To Choose! First Drive & Coupe First Look and there was a UK dealer review. Nothing on real tested performance or efficiency. I've ordered one and due for delivery in Jan/Feb but have been looking forward to a review or decent road test to appear.

The Cayenne was launched with the base and Turbo, and with that comes dedicated launch events. The S was launched later, and therefore it doesn't make sense to have the same events. Porsche UK will have an S press car available, most likely, but it requires someone to request it or have a reason to drive it. YouTubers have likely moved on to other cars now the Cayenne is old news, and the addition of a different variant simply won't attract the same interest as the initial launch of the car.

S an Turbo have different size rear motors (both are oil cooled (base model isn't), inverters are 620 amps on the S and 940 amps on the Turbo and gearing will be different also.
