More than a few subscribers here used to be automotive writers. A few still are. If you don't know this story, it's stuff of legend and for sure takes me back to the year I wrote similar blurbs for a printed Auto Trader catalogue. Didn't get fired but wasn't asked back ;)
This short video is all you need to know—and as exciting as the thumbnail promises.
The name may suggest a new dance move or polyester blend, but this meaty 2007 Porsche Cayenne has been Ruf’d up with more power, wider bodywork, and more than 100,000kms.
