For a Peridot Porsche...

More specifically a Peridot Porsche Cayenne S e-hybrid. I did some serious research on the technologies Porsche is using on the new hybrids (918 / Cayenne / weird sedan), and I'm impressed. Now I have to figure out how to get myself into a 100k $ + SUV that has virtually no off-road capability and limited towing capacity. hrrmmm.

Anyways, have a happy turkey day oppo.

Is it worse than the regular S at towing and off roaring?

Because the regular one is pretty good for both.

A pic of a GTS I saw today for your time

I like that color. I feel people will hate you more for having such an outlandish looking SUV thinking you're killing baby polar bears

I actually saw a Cayenne in that color a few months ago.

Well they havent released Official tow #s for the new models yet but I am assuming it cant be great. I wouldn't guess more than 5k lbs, or a 20-ish foot boat. off-road wise, none of the Cayennes are rather "good" at off roading. Sure, you can take them down relatively well traveled, non paved roads; but get yourself in a slightly sticky situation and its time to call a friend with a truck or jeep.

There aren't many reasons I would go for a car of this color, but this one, it looks good on.

My dad had a first gen Cayenne S. I think he towed 6,000 lbs once. Long distance too. He was happy with how much power and stability he had while towing.

I think I saw a Top Gear once where they tested the off roading. They were pleasantly surprised. The Macan is supposed to be a lot less capable though.

That's not strange. Perfectly reasonable. I love that color so much.

And hey, 77oo lbs capacity on the normal Cayennes is not bad. That'll haul a 944 comfortably. Is it lower for the e-Hybrid?

not 100% sure. I would assume slightly due to the added weight from batteries / electric motor / electric drive systems.
