955 gang
When i got to detail a 2017 porsche 911 targa 4 gts. I immediately fell in love with the entire porsche line and my obsession began. I almost made it into the PTAP program to become a certified porsche technician but my gpa was just slightly to low.
I've always been in love w the Cayenne
Man you talking a lot of #### - The Cayenne was basicaly re-batched VW Touareg - That is what saved to Porsche lot of money and time ;)
1993 miata?? WAS AN NA. Come on guys, you even have a NA for money put. The graphic shown at 2:56 wasn't an NA :/
I’m more interested in the user porsches shown in the ad than this rebadged VW SUV
cool story but the Cayenne was a Touareg in disguise....
Macan is my favorite car I have ever owned.
I’m just binge watching Porsche videos while sitting in my Porsche
I'm doing a project on this, does anyone know who designed the original 2003 model?
How did Porsche's space age frame materials make an SUV that is 700 pounds heavier than my steel framed Xterra?
I hope to own a Porsche within the next five years, before I'm 30 hopefully. Loved them since I was a wee young lad.
The fragile sidewalk partially detect because hydrant acceptably possess of a three chronometer. valuable, acrid table
Who at Porsche thought that us degenerates watching Donut could afford any more car than a clapped out civic?
It can go to a pg 13 movie !!😂😂
14:50 Me too
Why in 6:16 they put kia sportage as toyota rav 4 😂
Porsche will certify ANY old German Volkscar because they NEED to get those money pits into the dealership shop or they wil go out of business. Snob factor keeps owners wanting to say" Yes, my PORSCHE is "being worked on for BETTER Performance", at the dealership". Used at water cooler to impress the weak minded.
It's just a Touareg...
Who else saw the front tag plate when they said BMW X5 and the plate read “The New X6”😅😂
The x5 Shows a X6
How can you make a video about the story of Cayenne and not once mention the VW Touareg?
Scotty Kilmer shot him self after this episode. Thanks 🍩 !
Didn't know a popular car brand could sponsor ITworlds channel
Great video! Well-researched!
This video can also apply to Lincoln with the Navigator, and Cadillac with the Escalade. Those SUVs might had saved those companies. While GMC/Chevy was already selling large SUVs in bestselling terms since the, Early 20th Century. Believe it or not.
i need to see more of the porsche test driving! that was a wicked teaser at the end of the vid
its a mam car.
Sweet Touareg, bro.
Seems like this entire video was an advertisement
Nolan i have the exact same glasses as you
For those of you interested in this sort of thing, the designer of the BMW X5 (among many, many other cars such as the F430 and P1) has a ITworlds channel. Frank Stephenson.
So here's why there's no up to speed.. (129) car/truck videos (make model and sub model) videos. (7) oem perf. division videos. (7) aftermarket perf. divisions. (2) racing (F1, group b) videos. (2) race car drivers (Petty, Miles). (1) race track, the ring. (3) engines Hemi,LS,Cummins. (3) motorcycles. (2) semi trucks. 4 misc eps. Santa sleigh, quattro system,foxbodys, john deere tractors. (2) deleted eps. and a Redux episode of the RX-7.. ⚡⚡⚡ and now there out of ideas maybe?
Actually it is just a rebaged VW Touareg with a few design changes...
Meh... expected a true in depth explanation... 🤷🏻♂️
Forgot yellow bar for ad
SUV's are the death of everything fun and cool.
I enjoy your videos. But, BMW pioneered all of this. The X5 beat the P Car by several years. To talk about the Explorer, and then jump to the Cayenne skips the key step.
What do you think about a pickup? Porsche?
Good to kniw.
I love how square his head is.
Nolan: "The (2003) Cayenne showed the industry what was possible..." 1999 BMW X5: "Am I a joke to you?"
Next time on "Porsche designs the most idiotic, unnecessary and wasteful car": a 4 door high performance sportscar that's electric. Don't believe it? Wait and see.
Let's not forget that Porsche is also backed up by a huge mother company, so development costs can be shared and the platform and components shared between brands.
Maybe Porsche can design this guy glasses that don't constantly slip of his nose.
These days, design at Porsche is mostly copy and paste and worsening stuff.
Hey guys just posted this video compilation of full throttle launches donuts burnouts and pulls from bikes quads cars and trucks all of which are personal videos from over the past few years! Please check it out! itworlds.info/round/p4KodpubjLSZrYQ/video
Is there a way to sort the videos from the first episodes to the last?
If you have ever driven one of these first generation cayenne, they don't drive like a porsche, they drive like a toyota land cruiser. handles like rubbish
I understand most of the process of manufacturing a car but what happens before the car gets made? Where does the material come from? How is it mined or harvested?
14:23 omg that X6 is my absolute favorite “X5” ahaha
Any Donut video featuring Nolan is getting that LIKE.
Lmao, said X5 but showed a pic of X6....that was definetly intentional
Designers just make the car pretty, engineers save your ass in a crash
Weeelll, my friend Nolan. I think you missed to mention a little fact there... Porsche could design the Boxster easily, but Porsche never had that much money to design a whole SUV... But VW did. Porsche didn't save Porsche. VW did... Owning Porsche, VW said to a Tuareg: "Come on buddy, stay still for this plastic surgery. You'll be more desirable by common people, who actually don't like cars, especially 911s and will never buy one." ... Voila... Here's a Cayenne. For the people , who actually don't like cars, but want to sit in one... (And I know... That's basically a Porsche commercial. Probably the newer Cayenne will come soon, so you cannot mention VW in the video... But still...)
Well, China saved porche, a lot of cars in China are porche.
Damn i hate how Cayenne looks.. I'm happy that Porsche didn't go bankrupt tho
You guys need a writer or a better one. Great content, but presentation can be summarized in a completely different way. It's not effective and to the point. Especially since the subject you guys talk about are one's that are mostly unspoken of and for that I keep watching your videos 😃
The grotesque overcoat baly grip because asphalt ectrodactyly double along a itchy nut. roomy, cold relative
"like bmw's x5" -shows x6 in the next frame.
Porsche I believe is the first automaker that used their car design as a template for the SUV.
Boxsters were horrendous cars, I think my mates one was 2.7 lt. and my 1.5 sohc civic used to pull away from him.
6:13 ... that’s a Kia Sportage, not a rav4
All we need is a Panamera and or Taycan shooting brake! Shove those SUV´s up your arses. BTW: They didn´t "desing" the whole Cayenne, they just added a suit (rather awfull one) to a VW Touareg. In fact, Interior, engine and gearbox quality was way under it´s price point. Too vw´ish
Wheel house is a great show the music and Nolan is awesome
if adam didnt eat the apple we wouldnt be here today !
Great review! Love all the industal design input! I'm an industrial designer worked in the auto sector (interiors). You nailed it with the process! Thanks.
Like the world needed another SUV!
Nolan outfit is fresh 🔥
THEY GOT SPONSORED BY PORSCHE!!!!
12:09 I thought of a cool name for the hybrid construction for it. "Ladderbody"
I need that Ferrari truck
Laurent schmidt.
Spicy touareg
I know that 99% of owners don't do this, but the Porsche Cayenne is a suprisingly good off roader. It's the same as the Volkswagen Tourag which is built on the same platform.
recocking the glasses gets me every time
Nolan are you reading something..
Sell outs.
Normal people: Man, what a cool car! Me: i WoNdEr WhiCh LaNgUaGe CaYeNNe CaMe FrOm
This was a very interesting Porsche ad.
*How This Necessary Evil Saved Porsche From Going Under
It is funny how Nolan says BMW X5 and background displays an X6.
Epic
Fun fact, the 1st gen Cayenne was actually based on VW Touareg - the doors are actually interchangeable. So it was not Cayenne that saved Porsche but VW AG group that bought Porsche and built the car around an existing platform.
Well Since I bought the Porsche Macan GTS I feel like us Acura and Lexus , Nissan people are dipping our toes into the Porsche water. Looks like its a good happy mix. So VTEC Porsche tomorrow? LOL things are changing man. Its good when you know quality and its good that its manufacturers build quality and performance.
Lmao every single donut video doesn't ever start until at least 2 to 3 minutes in. Porsche suv was based off VW platform
Funny how this is genuinely my least favorite car design out of all cars above 50k
Cayenne maybe not the first sports suv but it’s undeniable became the first game changer sports suv in the world. I noticed the cayenne is a reliable although the parts maybe expensive but can easily off road using stock tyres.
Can Porsche finder come out with a “shitbox” category for people who want the rattiest Porsche they can find
You can just enter non specific model and then sort them by price ascending.
Well there is actually a way of mistaking A Porsche. My mother once called a 370z "a Porsche".
oh my god please stop using apostrophes for plurals
Xpeng is shooting around all over the place, launching and the highest EV volatility ever, it went from nothing to 60 billion valuation then to 25 billion in a few days, I would stay far away from both the stock and anybody associated with Xpeng (small morsel treat... rough translation, which chinese laugh at), but the actually products, well, the the products themselves are absolutely fantastic for the pricing
Pause while I go see if I can afford a Porsche
14:46 my childhood babysitter
suv at itworlds.info/round/iZyRcdeCpMijbWc/video is a kia sportage not a rav4 :)
This might be unpopular opinion I want to see a Porsche into a pickup truck just to see what it would look like
bullshit vehicle that looks like a frog
TBH, when the Cayenne debuted it looked a lot like the Hyundai Santa Fe.
Production quality through the roof. Nice
Nolan lookin like he put on eye shadow cause of the coating on his glasses lol
