Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() The Cayenne came up the slope equally effortlessly, and it's profile in the grass vaguely reminded me of a prowling big cat. So we had the Cayenne and the Endy sitting together at the top of the hill, and the sun was in the wrong direction for photography. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rideon takes a good look inside the Cayenne. ![]() It was time to take the Endy down the slope again, and Roshun was worried that the job had to be done totally on brakes - the Endy had no engine braking even with the shifter slotted manually into "1". He decides to take it down in reverse. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Guess the topic of discussion? "He didn't look back even once when he took the car down the slope. How could he manage that?" ![]() Last edited by SS-Traveller : 22nd November 2010 at 12:12. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() He's actually the driver of the gentleman who owns the Volvo & the Porsche - not unusual to see chaffeurs in suits around these parts. Looks a tad odd but that's what it is. The other guy's a bodyguard (again, not uncommon)! |

Now for some pics of the Cayenne coming down the other side of the steep hill with SS-T at the wheel and the owner grinning like he's gone down his first slide at the park as a kid. | ||

![]() Thanks for those pics. Was looking forward to them. Also looking forward to the video. And any pics of the Cayenne trying that same slope upwards? | |

![]() Ah, I was guessing you may have optionally installed the reverse camera that comes standard in the 4x4 AT version. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() SS-Traveller i think the Cayanne is running on the base 16" wheels and i dont mean to be rude or anything but this is a walk in the park for any of the cars above. I mean if i do all this kind of driving with 19" wheels, these would do it with ease. The actual test would be doing obstacles, nothing hardcore but light based ones to know the capability of the car and not a garden stroll. No offense meant to you or the owners, i know the cars are expensesive so the hesitation would be there. |

As a point of demonstration, I took the Cayenne down that slope, which appears deceptively flat in the pics - it's actually almost 40*, and just walking down it is treacherous because of the sandy surface. The Cayenne had partly worn out HT tyres, and skidded part of the way down despite being in low-range on 1st gear, with minimal use of brakes. The Volvo may have done it, we didn't want to risk it, and the Endy doing it was completely out of the question. Suman's 4WD Safari would probably have done it, but he'd left by that time. Quote:
