Although a host of tuners have tried their hand at revising Porsche’s Cayenne, arguably none have improved on the SUV’s appearance. We’re not saying the styling kit issued by Swiss tuner Rinspeed is any better, but its new X-Treme is certainly one of the least-offensive takes on the performance ‘ute we’ve seen.
That questionable exterior is, by and large, one of the biggest changes Rinspeed makes to the Cayenne. The front fascia sports larger air intakes that hint at the Cayman, but the split center grille section looks as if the entire car’s sucking on a lemon. The front diffuser, which supposedly ducts airflow to the larger brakes, adds to the height of the front fascia, making the entire front clip look too tall. That may be an illusion, as Porsche’s air-ride suspension is modified to lower the Cayenne by 35 mm.
The interior isn’t left alone, either; Rinspeed decks out the X-Treme with an extensive mixture of carbon fiber and custom-trimmed suede that could complete with the best show car at CES. Unlike those, the X-treme can offer some serious “go” - the twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V-8 can be tweaked for an additional 100 ponies, bringing the total to 600 horsepower.
If that’s the look - and the power - that meets your tastes, give Rinspeed a call.
Swiss Extravaganza - The Rinspeed “X-treme” based on the Porsche 957 Cayenne
The Swiss company Rinspeed, also renown as a noble Porsche tuner, can look back to thirty years of tradition and now presents its latest customizing program based on the face-lifted Porsche Cayenne. The latest creation of the Swiss is called X-treme which is specially high-lighted by the sporty and dynamic aerodynamics package. It plays the latest Cayenne outstandingly to the gallery and fits to all model versions.
The complete new frontskirt/bumper impresses by its aggressive and distinctive visual appearance. Bigger air-intakes with fins as well as a front splitter with its own brake aeration award the Rinspeed X-treme a proprietary and typical look. Beefy wheel arches let the sporty SUV appear to be much wider and more dynamic. The side skirts fit elegantly into the existing side lines and connect homogenously the wide wheel arches. The rear skirt has received a difusor which diminishes the down force significantly. The two rear chrome exhaust tips are the high-light of the back end. The sporty exhaust system clearly suggests the ample power under the hood. The X-treme will bring up to 600 hp on the road.
The contact to the road is ensures by the enormous wheel-tire-combination in the typical Rinspeed design. The biggest available version is of the size of 11×23 inches. The 315/25-23 tires are especially approved for speeds of the 300 km/h. The air suspension is customized with an electronic module which lowers the SUV by 35 mm - the whole range covers 110 mm .
Exclusive leather interiors as well as customizing options as individual bucket seating, home entertainment systems and many other items round up the diversified program.
