Porsche [blank] Turbo S base price: $111,600


If you filled in the blank with either 911 or 997 you would score zero points. It's the Cayenne Turbo S we're looking for. Wow, the most expensive of all Porsche's current street cars (before you add in the options) is an SUV. The 911 Turbo is expected some time soon, and I would expect that car to easily top $110,000. So for now the SUV gets top billing at your neighborhood Porsche dealer.


And what an SUV it is. 520hp....530lb-ft of torque.... 168mph top speed.... This is certainly overkill for the person going antiquing for the weekend. But if you're taking the family for a weekend getting away at Stowe, you'll easily beat the crowds to the lifts with this machine.

I also found it interesting that the base Cayenne (that's the one with the 250hp V6) has the lowest base price of any 2006 Porsche. It beats the base Boxster by $3000. Say what you want about the Cayenne, Porsche is milking this model at every possible price point.
