New equipment package for the first generation Porsche Cayenne

Porsche introduced its first SUV at the turn of the century. Two decades later, the Porsche Classic has prepared a special equipment package for the first generation Cayenne.

And while traditionalists were angry at the moves by Porsche officials, they probably didn’t know that the Cayenne was the model that saved the famous German car company and allowed it to continue producing its famous sports models. In this way, Porsche wants to thank customers for the 275,000 Cayennes sold in the last ten years, most of which are still being driven.

According to published photos, the equipment package includes luggage compartment trays, floor mats, wheelsets, roof baskets, mud flaps, fuel canisters, hook, reinforced engine and suspension protection, larger rims with off-road tires, and will soon offer several applications for decorating / body personification.

Accessories will be in the Porsche Classic catalog when its testing is completed. At Porsche, they are convinced that many owners will like the idea of ​​owning a slightly different and “adventurous” Cayenne.
