Of course it isn't the cool turbo version

The wheel gap on them with the small wheels and low profile tires looks silly though. But with mods it can look really good.

Cayenne Facelift
Porsche’s first off road model Cayenne has been on the market since winter 2002 and is now about to undergo a first major restyling likely scheduled for release in 2006. In addition a Hybrid version is said to be in the pipeline, developed in co-operation with VW and Audi. This one, however, for launch earliest in 2008.
Prototypes of the facelifted Cayenne have been photographed meanwhile during road testing in various places of the world in cold and hot weather as well as in the vicinity of Porsche’s home base Weißach. To show the alterations without confusing disguise, three of these prototype shots have been computer generated .
Seen here, the big 4x4 will get an all new front end with new headlights, larger air intakes and a prominent steel protection plate underneath the front skirt . The rear end will feature considerably bigger tailights, and also the interior design is expected to undergo some remodelling
Cayenne Compact
Even further ahead than a hybrid Cayenne are plans of the sport car maker regarding a possible fifth Porsche model range (after the four door coupe Panamera). According to rumours it is about another smaller off road model based on the upcoming Audi Q5, this one being a smaller version of the brand new Q7. This Porsche compact off-roader is set to become a rival against the successful BMW X3 and the upcoming Mercedes MLK. No information about the looks of the “Compact Cayenne” has seeped through yet, here are just two artists impressions suggesting how such a car could look like.
These photos are showing:

Pole Position
I heard they are going to change the Cayenne name to Porsche GTi. It sure does sound faster.
Seriously what's up with the Golf headlights? I don't know why they changed it at all.
The back of the car was the worst thing about it not the front. Even though the whole idea of 911 front reminds me of something that Kia or Hyundai would do on their SUVs. Make them Porsche-like so they would sell but in the end it's the Porsche that does it.. to themselves. The design could have been so much more and there is a lot of left to be desired.
But it's one very capable SUV. Drives like hell!
