Porsche’s SUV has been one of the German brand’s best sellers ever since it launched at the Paris Motor Show in 2002.
Porsche has built its one millionth Cayenne, just 18 years after the controversial SUV was launched.
An SUV may have once been unthinkable for the iconic sports-car specialist, however it has been crucial to the brand’s survival – and financial stability to continue making high-performance cars.
The landmark vehicle (above) – a GTS variant in Carmine Red – was built on Volkswagen Group’s production line in Bratislava, Slovakia, before being delivered to a German customer.
The Cayenne was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 2002 and, despite mixed initial reception, is today recognised as the turning point in the then-financially-troubled manufacturer’s pilgrimage to profitability.
Now in its third generation, the Cayenne is the second best-selling Porsche model in Australia, with only the smaller Macan SUV proving more popular.
