This 2003 Porsche Cayenne Turbo is a California-owned, overland-ready build powered by Porsche's twin-turbocharged 4.5L V8 paired with a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and full-time all-wheel drive. Finished in Basalt Black Metallic beneath a premium Satin Ashen Grey and Satin Black color PPF wrap, this 955 has been thoughtfully upgraded with a Eurowise suspension system, rooftop tent, expedition equipment, and extensive recent mechanical work addressing many of the platform's common maintenance items. Offered by a private seller in Corona, California, the vehicle carries a California bonded title and is accompanied by a CARFAX documenting California history and more than 40 service records.
  • Properly Sorted 955 Turbo: Rather than simply adding overland accessories, the current owner focused on addressing many of the first-generation Cayenne Turbo's known maintenance items and common failure points while building a capable expedition platform. Seller-reported work includes a replacement transmission, brake booster, brake system service, electrical repairs, suspension components, clock spring, rear window regulator, rear wiper motor, headlight repairs, and reupholstered seats. The seller reports there are currently no known engine, transmission, drivability, brake, or suspension issues, no warning lights, and no known fluid leaks. Documentation supporting the work completed during current ownership is included with the sale.
  • Professionally Built Overland Package: Built around a Eurowise 3-inch lift with a matching 1-inch subframe drop, this Cayenne rides on 32-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires mounted on factory Sport Design wheels finished in gold powder coat. Additional upgrades include a Eurowise roof rack, Smittybilt rooftop tent with annex, LED taillights, rearview camera, and a premium Satin Ashen Grey and Satin Black color PPF wrap that complements the factory Basalt Black Metallic finish.
  • Twin-Turbo Porsche Performance: Factory rated at 450 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque, the Cayenne Turbo combines sports-car acceleration with genuine off-road capability thanks to Porsche's full-time all-wheel-drive system, a two-speed low-range transfer case, and a locking center differential. The factory option sticker confirms this example is not equipped with the optional locking rear differential. The seller also notes the factory air suspension remains fully functional and continues to automatically lower at highway speeds as designed.
  • Premium Factory & Aftermarket Equipment: Factory equipment includes Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), heated front and rear seats, Porsche Entry & Drive, Bose premium audio, power sunroof, the Light Wood interior package, trailer hitch receiver, and smooth leather upholstery. Modern upgrades include a touchscreen multimedia receiver, rearview camera, XPEL XR Plus ceramic window tint, ceramic-coated wheels and brake calipers, and expedition-focused accessories that enhance the Cayenne's capability without sacrificing everyday usability.
  • California History & Documented Service: CARFAX documents California ownership with more than 40 service records and no mileage discrepancies. Recent entries include a throttle body replacement in 2022, while seller documentation covers the extensive maintenance completed during current ownership. Minor damage was reported in 2010 with no subsequent issues noted. The seller states the only known cosmetic issue is a broken rear cargo-area woodgrain trim piece. The vehicle is offered with a California bonded title, and prospective buyers are encouraged to review the title documentation and contact the seller with any questions prior to purchase.
About the 2003 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
The first-generation Porsche Cayenne Turbo redefined expectations for high-performance SUVs by combining Porsche engineering with genuine off-road capability. As the flagship model of the 955 lineup, it paired a twin-turbocharged V8 with a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, a two-speed low-range transfer case, locking center differential, adjustable air suspension, and advanced chassis technology. Today, properly maintained 955 Turbos have become increasingly sought after as overland platforms thanks to their blend of performance, capability, luxury, and exceptional value.
