We took the Rs 1.27 crore worth Porsche Cayenne for an off road drive and here’s why it is the best four-door sports car

Its 3-litre engine produces 245 horsepower, good enough to go from 0 to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds. That's pretty impressive for an SUV in India.

With the course also featuring simulated hill descents, drivers were able to activate the Porsche Hill Control (PHC) in the car. This system keeps the speed of the car constant on downhill gradients, limiting it between 3 to 30 km/h, by braking on all four wheels, whilst the Antilock Brake System (ABS) remains active to prevent them from locking.

During the slush drive section of the track, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV) in combination with the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and Porsche Stability Management (PSM) systems, provided improved traction in the Cayenne. Thanks to the rear-axle differential lock, the PTV Plus system makes a positive impact by reducing rear wheel spin through targeted locking and braking interventions.

And the result? It is as outstanding, as expected.The Rhodium Silver Cayenne that we drove produced zero cabin noise when going through potholes that were almost a feet deep. The driveability of the car while cruising uphill was smooth.

The experience featured a range of scenarios that replicated conditions in which an SUV is required to leave tarmacked roads. Starting with a road along Golf course road, we were able to experience the sporty performance and day-to-day usability of both Porsche models, Cayenne and Macan. This was followed by the off-road element on a purpose-built track, which featured a range of challenges including gravel traps, log crossings and deep mud terrains.
