I own a Cayenne Turbo of this generation, with a few extra optional goodies, like the hydraulically controlled sway bars. It can mix performance on various surfaces like no other car of its age, and one could even say still.. Downsides are the reliability, A Landcruiser for racking up trouble free miles, it certainly aint. But its a bit dependent on luck. I do all mechanical work myself, so for me its managable.

Only center as standard, rear was a rare option. But they do pretty well without locks, the computer is quite clever where to send power.

@genesishep I know about it, I was talking specifically about the Cayenne (as those were the subject of this video). Not the same off road kit as standard or availible, though on the other hand you could option some stuff the Touareg couldnt get, like the hydraulic sway bars. You also could option what they called "skid pads", but its certainly not a complete underbody protection, no. I looked at all availible Touareg and Cayenne models before I decided on and bought my Cayenne, since I felt the tradeoff of what the Cayenne does better was worth it to me. I am from Sweden, btw, so I know winters and snow very well :)

@thedutchhuman The older models mostly featured in this videos, are one of the best if not THE best terrain cars of its era, certainly if one takes into account the on road manners. Most 4wd or AWD cars are way worse in terrain, even on the same tires. However, this capacity was as good as never used, yes. For an even worse example, see G-wagon.

@poplaurentiu4148 The toughness and strength of the car was never in question, even since mk1, more or less. The Drivetrain and system are no less sturdy than the best the mainstream automotive industry could offer. Its quite stout, for what it is. So A rally raid (I am very aware of the one you describe) is no problem. The problem of this car arises as it ages. Its not stuff that breaks because of physical impacts, but rather electrical problems and engine problems caused by long term heat cycling, moisture and age.
