What was once a Porsche Cayenne Turbo has become a multi-passenger super exotic with radical looks and engine upgrades that’ll shove most sports cars to the curb. The Magnum gets the same basic engine upgrades as the 997 Turbo — including new turbochargers and exhaust system and a recalibrated ECU — only these are applied to the 2007 Cayenne’s 4.5-liter V-8. Output is now 600 bhp and 645 lb.-ft. of torque peaking at 3440 rpm. As powerful as this engine is, it’s how the Magnum looks that first grabs your attention. The TechArt SUV sits so low to the ground that it no longer seems like an SUV, but rather a strange amalgamation of station wagon and exotic car. When taken in completely, the Magnum is as mean and funky as leather underwear, highlighted by a radical front end. Special headlight covers, side skirts and restyled bumpers complete the transformation. The aero kit costs about $5000.From the driver’s seat, the Magnum feels like a sports car. While the SUV’s acceleration is impressive — running to 60 mph in an amazing 4.2 seconds and to the quarter-mile in 12.7 — it’s the Magnum’s high-speed stability that marvels. There’s lots of oomph down low, but when you reach speeds of more than 100 mph, the aero kit starts working, providing massive downforce both front and rear. At 150 mph, the 5245-lb. load seems to simply push oncoming air out of the way as the speedometer needle keeps climbing. And the Magnum corners like no other SUV, thanks in part to TechArt’s suspension kit. Turn-in is crisp, and although you can feel the SUV’s heaviness through tight turns, its overall balance is surprisingly neutral. That the Magnum is special is evident upon first glance. The price is special, too. The modifications on our test car cost $109,838. Add that to the price of a Porsche Cayenne Turbo ($93,700) and you have a grand total of $203,538. Claus Ettensberger, president of CEC, which has tuning centers in Beverly Hills, Miami and Newport Beach, says he expects to sell about 30 a year. Yes, the price of membership in the “World’s Fastest SUV” club is high, but exclusivity is ensured.Source: Road&Track</blockquote>
