The relationship between Russian tuners TOPCAR and Porsche models goes a long way back, being one of the most featured brands among TOPCAR's creations.
The Porsche Cayenne, on the other hand, is the kind of car you can truly understand only after you've driven it. Without being a Porsche fanboy, I was one of the Cayenne haters when it first came out. I loathed everything about it: its size, its shape, its looks, its name, its mother and its father - everything.
A few years later, I got to drive this second generation facelifted model and I realized how wrong I had been all that time. Sure, I was well aware of the necessity of such a model for the survival of the Porsche brand, but I didn't care. I'd rather see it dead than compromising like the rest with a big, lumbering SUV.
I was a fool and there's no other way to put it. The car is absolutely brilliant and everything a Porsche SUV should be, if there ever had to be one.
TOPCAR have figured that out long before I did, and all the better for them. They have dressed the Porsche SUV before and have gotten so good at it, they've now come up with this. It's called Vantage and is their latest body kit for the facelifted Cayenne.
All the components are available as part of two packages or for individual order and have prices ranging from 120 euros ($135) to 4,500 euros ($5,000). The tuning process concentrates on the lower part of the car, the 2015 Cayenne receiving a custom front bumper with carbon fiber splitter, flared wheel arches, side skirts and a carbon-fiber hood with cut-out vents.
Similarly, the rear gets a modified bumper with a special air diffuser, a "Vantage" plate, rear carbon fiber spoiler and new exhaust tips. The wheels are ADV.1 and we'd like to salute the fact they're not as ridiculously huge as they could have been. In fact, the whole look of the car exudes calmness - of the Darth Vader variety, granted.
TOPCAR also has a wide variety of interior customization options, so any interested parties can go check their website for more info on that. Until then, be sure to have a look at the photo gallery below, it's worth it.
