2003 Porsche Cayenne Turbo in Basalt Black Metallic – 131k Miles, Florida
About this vehicle
What the first-generation Cayenne did to Porsche's identity is hard to overstate. It was the marque's first four-door production car, first genuinely off-road-capable vehicle, and first V8 application since the 928. Sitting at the top of the debut lineup, the Turbo was built around a twin-turbocharged 4.5-liter V8 — factory-decoded as a 4.5L eight-cylinder SUV/MPV — channeling power to all four wheels through a 6-speed Tiptronic S automatic. This 2003 example wears Basalt Black Metallic over a two-tone Havana and Sand Beige Smooth Leather interior, with the optional Light Wood Package, Porsche Entry and Drive, a moonroof, and more thrown in. Delivered originally in Pennsylvania, it spent several years in California before landing in Florida in 2023. The odometer reads approximately 131,861 miles.
Cayenne Turbos distinguish themselves from the base model through a more aggressive front fascia with enlarged air intakes and red brake calipers — details that read especially well against black paint. This car rides on aftermarket wheels wrapped in 265/60R18 tires with fewer than 500 miles on them. Raptor bed liner coats the lower rocker panels. Chips, dings, and scratches are present, and every imperfection is documented in the photo gallery; a CARFAX report is included noting minor damage recorded in February 2017.
Inside, the Havana and Sand Beige leather holds up well, complemented by Light Wood Package trim, electric comfort seats, Porsche Entry and Drive, the moonroof, and a 6-disc CD changer. Two deliberate modifications stand out: a Eurowise MOLLE panel fitted with phone, radio, and tablet mounts for off-road navigation, and a custom "Overland Maroon" gauge cluster. The seller confirms all gauges and electronics operate correctly, with no warning lights or check-engine lights present.
Under the hood, the twin-turbo 4.5-liter V8 is rated at 450 HP and 457 lb-ft of torque, braking handled by 6-piston front and 4-piston rear alloy calipers. Aftermarket software was found in the DME and has since been reflashed to factory calibration. Under current ownership, a thorough vacuum-leak campaign was completed — charge pipes at the intercooler, the bank 2 wastegate control line, the line from the manifold to the diverter valve control solenoid, the EVAP check valve, and the diverter valves themselves were all replaced. New coolant lines and connections at the rear of the block followed, as did a new PCV line at the rear of the intake manifold. The rear battery was swapped for an Optima Yellow Top, an oil change was performed roughly 700 miles ago, and the next annual service is due in December.
Sale includes a clean, clear title in hand, the owner's manual, a tool kit, an air pump, a car cover, sales literature, and two keys.
