Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT

The Turbo GT is what happens when Porsche stops pretending an SUV has to be sensible. It takes the Cayenne and turns everything up, from the 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 making 631 horsepower to the carbon roof and the 22-inch wheels. The result held the SUV lap record at the Nurburgring, and the figures back it up with 3.3 seconds to 100 km/h and a top speed of 300 km/h.

What makes it strange in the best way is how composed it stays. Rear-axle steering tucks the nose into corners, the air suspension keeps the body flat, and the whole thing shrinks around you on a fast road. Reach traffic and it settles into a calm, quiet cruiser. The Alcantara four-seat cabin and high driving position give you the comfort and the view that make an SUV worth having in the first place.

This is a car that fits the rhythm of a Dubai week. Move between meetings in DIFC and Business Bay during the day, then take it out to the Palm or Dubai Marina at the weekend. On the open stretches past Al Qudra it is stable and effortless, and the titanium exhaust gives every junction a soundtrack. The height means no speed bump in any community gives you a second thought.
