porsche cayenne orange Q&A Review

Will Tesla's Model Y fail?

Probably not. A vehicle that is free of gasoline, oil changes and typical internal combustion maintenance and service, that is ,pretty, cool. A vehicle that is comparable to a small SUV or crossover with a potentially great safety rating and extremely low rollover risk as well, ,even better. Now, leaving the whole “apples to oranges thing” aside, a vehicle, in its Performance iteration, that handles like a sports car and is even a tad quicker 0-60 mph than a Porsche Cayenne Turbo, albeit with less top speed, that would be, well, let's just say, ,acceptable. Finally, if that vehicle could fuel at home and not pollute, at least locally, for all of those “long tailpipe” claimants, and do all of the above for about half the price of the aforementioned Porsche Cayenne Turbo, that might suit a lot folks, ,just fine,. And there will several other iterations that will also have pretty amazing performance, for much less in price.

Why is Luanda one of the costliest cities in the world?

From Newyorker Earlier this year, I was invited to a barbecue at the home of a Texas oilman, Steve Espinosa, and his wife, Norma. Their two-story house sat on an unnamed road, nestled in a community called the Condominio Riviera Atlantico, about ten miles from Luanda, the rapidly expanding capital of Angola. There were no sidewalks or footpaths in the area, and there wasn’t much movement on the street. But there were plenty of cars: Porsche Cayennes, Audis, and BMWs, all tucked neatly into identical carports adjacent to identical houses. Espinosa, a burly man in cargo shorts and a Brooklyn Industries T-shirt, answered the door and held out a beer. He steered me through a sparsely furnished living room, past a humidor filled with Cuban cigars, and onto the patio, where several of his friends and colleagues were snacking amiably on ostrich meat. There was a second kitchen beside the pool in the back yard, with a sink, a large refrigerator, and a Weber grill. For the past two years, Luanda—not Tokyo, Moscow, or Hong Kong—has been named, by the global consulting firm Mercer, as the world’s most expensive city for expatriates. Luanda’s lure, and its treasure, is oil. José Eduardo dos Santos, who has presided over Angola for more than thirty-five years, long ago realized that foreign oil companies were the key to power, and he has worked diligently to accommodate them. In the past decade, tens of thousands of American and European employees of international oil conglomerates, fortified by generous cost-of-living allowances, have descended on Luanda. (Multinational companies base their overseas salaries on the comparative costs of housing, clothes, food, and other commodities.) The country now produces 1.8 million barrels of oil a day; in Africa, only Nigeria produces and exports more. The boom has transformed a failed state into one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Exxon-Mobil, Chevron, the French company Total, and BP all have significant operations in Angola, along with firms—Schlumberger and Halliburton among them—that provide the complicated logistical support required to drill and maintain deep offshore wells. Most of the foreign workers live with their families in well-guarded suburban communities with names such as Bella Vista and Paraíso Riviera. At the height of the British Empire, colonial rulers lived by a credo: “Make the world England.’’ The oil expatriates of Luanda have taken that message to heart. Few would work there if they couldn’t live as they do at home, but their comforts have been hard to come by. Almost nothing is made in Angola, so nearly every car, computer, crate of oranges, tin of caviar, jar of peanut butter, pair of bluejeans, and bottle of wine arrives by boat. Every day, a trail of container ships backs up from the port through the Bay of Luanda and out into the sea. Grotesque inequality long ago became a principal characteristic of the world’s biggest and most crowded cities. But there is no place quite like Luanda, where the Espinosas’ rent is sixteen thousand dollars a month, a bottle of Coke can sell for ten dollars, and Range Rovers cost twice their sticker price. Per-capita income in Angola has nearly tripled in the past dozen years, and the country’s assets grew from three billion dollars to sixty-two billion dollars. Nonetheless, by nearly every accepted measure, Angola remains one of the world’s least-developed nations. Half of Angolans live on less than two dollars a day, infant mortality rates are among the highest in the world, and the average life expectancy—fifty-two—is among the lowest. Obtaining water is a burden even for the rich, and only forty per cent of the population has regular access to electricity. (For those who do, a generator is essential, as power fails constantly.) Nearly half the population is undernourished, rural sanitation facilities are rare, malaria accounts for more than a quarter of all childhood deaths, and easily preventable diarrheal diseases such as rotavirus are common. Because the oil companies routinely pay most large expenses for their foreign workers in Angola, a dollar bill can quickly begin to feel like Monopoly money. Before I visited the Espinosas, I asked at my hotel if it could provide a car and driver for the ten-mile journey from the center of the city to the suburb of Talatona. The clerk at the front desk told me it would cost a hundred and fifty dollars. There weren’t many alternatives, so I agreed. Later, I saw him waving frantically at me in the lobby. He explained that he had been wrong about the taxi: it would actually cost four hundred and fifty dollars, each way. I found another ride. The trip took two hours. It was a Friday afternoon, and the single rutted road that runs south toward Luanda Sul was jammed with commuters, trucks, tractors, and a stream of the unregulated Toyota minivans—candongueiros—that pass for public transportation. Children worked the roadway, selling soccer balls, popcorn, phone cards, toilet seats, and multicolored polyester brooms. I stopped at the Casa dos Frescos, a grocery store favored by expatriates, to buy some Scotch for my hosts, but a fifth of the Balvenie cost three hundred dollars, so I settled for a mediocre bottle of wine, for sixty-five. The woman in front of me, juggling an infant and a cell phone, unloaded her groceries on the checkout counter. She had a couple of steaks, a few pantry items, and two seventeen-dollar pints of Häagen-Dazs ice cream, along with juice and vegetables. The bill was eleven hundred and fifty dollars. She didn’t seem fazed, and I later learned that the store was famous for its prices. A few years ago, the Casa dos Frescos had been the site of what locals refer to as “the incident of the golden melon.’’ An enraged French customer, having paid a hundred and five dollars for a single melon, sued the store for profiteering. The case was thrown out of court, in part because the man not only bought the melon but also ate the evidence.

What was the most miles per hour (MPH) speed that you have ran?

I’m a bit of a sick fuck when it comes to going fast, I’ve always loved high performance vehicles and I couldn’t be more content when travelling far beyond the speed limit. Unfortunately the buzz wore off after a while and not many production and modified vehicles can excite me like they used to, that’s why I took an interest in aviation, so I could simply go faster. I’ve had the privilege of driving and being the passenger in many very quick vehicles Despite travelling at lower speeds, some have been quicker due to the fact that they got to certain speeds quicker than others, so rather than give a single boring answer I’ll give a Top five highlight reel of the fastest vehicles I’ve ever been in and the speeds they achieved. By far the highest top speed in a car and fastest I’ve driven goes to a bright orange Mclaren MP4-12C. A mate of mine collects high end Supercars and for my 21st he offered me to take one of his cars for a drive, it was a toss up between the mclaren and a Gallardo Superleggera but I decided the Mclaren’s twin turbo power plant would be quicker. It broke traction really easy and it was a blast to hang the tail end out but when we got to the freeway he said to me “Give it a boot full” I was only cruising around 120km/h at the time so I raised it 160 and when I went to back off he goes “Come on, go go!” So I did, it just touched 200km/h for a moment before I backed off. And he gives me a frustrated look and says “Mate, I’m telling you, your not going to get a chance to do this again, go for it.” I was hesitant, he was trusting me with his $300,000 car i didn’t want to break anything. He sees me hesitate and yells “FUCKING GO! GO! GO!” So I planted it. The ass end squatted right down and shot forward, the tires squealed during the 3rd to 4th gear and you could hear the turbo’s spooling right up. I hit 330km/h (207mph) before it hit the rev limiter and I rolled it back down. After stepping away i felt that I needed to go faster to achieve that rush I wanted, that’s when I realised something must be wrong with me lmao. 2. A close family friend owns a auto shop for high performance Japanese imports in Sydney, and he’s got a bayside blue R34 GTR that’s been regarded as one of Australia’s fastest GTR’s, if your in the car scene here you’ll know who I’m talking about. It’s got a 1080hp 2.8 stroker in it and despite having gone slower then the Mclaren it got to 300 way quicker. 315km/h (195mph) was what he got it too down the Hume highway before slowing up, it had absolutely no traction from 1st to 4th. Funny fact, he used to play a game with passengers where he would put the end of a $50 note in the glove box and leave 3 quarter of it hanging out, and if you could grab it under acceleration you got to keep it, nobody got that note 3. I was in the backseat of a black on black Porsche Cayenne Turbo while it’s going about 250km/h (155mph) 4. This one was really disappointing but we got to 200km/h in a Holden CrossX8 crewman Ute when we bought it new, I was only 7 or 8 at the time and i had no idea we were even speeding. The driver demanded Holden remove the factory limiter but they protested they couldn’t because the AWD system wouldn’t handle it (at the same time I think they were a bit shocked someone was asking this) 5. Surprise! This is not a car, but i managed to hang on to a Slightly worked K2 Suzuki GSXR1000 at about 299km/h (185mph) that was ultra quick but I was craving Hayabusa as soon as I got off haha. So that’s the fastest I’ve run in a car or a bike, I’ve managed to experience faster in planes and jets I’ve been able to take over stick with but I’m always hungry for faster, whether it be myself jumping out of a helicopter or screaming over my home town in an old Czech fighter jet, I’ve made plans for faster vehicles in the near future but I doubt anything can go quicker that will satiate my thirst, unless someone’s got a spare twin seat F18 Hornet laying around.

Why do body on-frame off-road vehicles matter?

Firstly they are very cheap to make and are often rudimentary and robust four wheel drives. Forget the Porsche Cayenne, we want a 4x4 pickup to go off road or a Wrangler (the last lightweight utility 4x4 with seperate chassis) This frame makes them truly robust and easily modified for greater clearance and traction. It is basically a steel frame from which is hung the suspension and on which sits the drivetrain. The body can be cut away to improve clearance. You see, the Cayenne looks like an SUV but is actually a sham. It has a monocoque body and, if you go to http:/presskit.porsche.de you will find that the chassis is described as “pushes the boundaries of sportiness and comfort to new levels" and the words “off road capability" only appear once. Its Porsche Traction Management has “active hang-on all-wheel drive" which allows fully variable distribution of the drive force between the axles but the chassis itself has limited wheel travel. Put low profile highway sports tyres on and it will not climb a gentle grassy rise. A rigid monocoque body like on a Cayenne has a distinct advantage on highway, the rigidity allows precise suspension control which makes good road manners and safety. A body on frame 4x4 is the exact opposite, it flexes and wanders about. The prime benefit of a monocoque construction is that its lightweight. Since a monocoque stresses parts of the body, instead of the body just being a load for the frame to carry, the vehicle is much lighter and a smaller capacity engine can be incorporated to accomplish the same task. This directly translates to better fuel economy. Great for a daily driver but the drawback is a lack of durability and all out ability off road. Look at a Jeep Patriot, built on a car platform, light and fuel efficient. You do not see many on trails though. The low floor placement also makes a monocoque construction much easier to get in and out of and in general you get more interior space in a monocoque. However the super toughened frame structure of body on frame vehicles can gobble up rocks, uneven terrain, and almost anything you throw at them. They have higher floor pans due to their construction with ith higher ground clearance. Since the frame and body are two different elements in the body on frame construction, any damage caused would be much easier to repair due to the isolated components. Damage to a monocoque construction would probably require the entire chassis unit to be replaced, which is expensive. Both the Monocoque and Body on Frame construction have their fair share of pros and cons. They are pretty much like apples and oranges. One is more suited for the road while the other is a better performer off-road which SUV’s are actually intended for. Sadly all Land Rovers now use the monocoque frame construction and whilst their off-road capabilities are high they are beyond repair in many instances. Hit a few rocks and the owners will be crying. So next time you want a 4x4, look for a seperate frame. Here are some of mine from 1951 to 2020, they all follow the same basic idea, a strong steel ladder frame with the components bolted on and a body plonked on top. Cheap and effective even on leaf springs. And when you bang a rock, you do not worry if something bent. That is why a seperate frame will continue to be the popular 4x4.

Is Ukraine a westernised country?

You can't really say that any of Eastern Europe is westernised. While Hungary and Czech Republic are fast heading that way Ukraine is doing it at a snail pace. The first steps to "westernisation" are the hardest. These include minimising corruption, rule of law, independent judiciary and a police force that enforces laws instead of the whims of the head of state. My experience in Ukraine tells me that this was what Maidan was about. The Ukrainians really have no problem with Russians except their resistance to all of the above. Once the above institutions are firmly in place, many freedoms follow. Freedom of the press is the big one. It follows freedom of speech. And freedom to criticise the government without fear of reprisals. And freedom to fight for your rights. Maybe I can illustrate this by an example. The police are still powerful in Ukraine. After the Orange Revolution of 2004, Yuschenko told them that anyone caught accepting a bribe would lose their job. At that time they were very confused about their status and I found them very cooperative and even friendly. But during the regimes of Kuchma and Yanukovich they were back to their old ways of getting extra income through expecting bribes. Driving my car in Ukraine, they would spot the foreign registration plate and pull me over for the slightest cause. It was a daily occurrence. And I do not pay bribes. I would hand over the pile of documents required including my Australian drivers licence. When they start naming a sum, I ask if they are asking for a bribe? Some immediately tell me "to go from here". Others are bolder. They take me in to the police post and try to intimidate me. Some have thrown my drivers licence across the room saying it is no good. Some have become quite aggressive. If I were an average Ukrainian citizen, by now I would be fearful. But I resist their aggression and demands for money by asking their name. By the time I have written down their first name and patronymic, none have ever given me their family name! If they continue to demand money, I ask if I can take their photo. And I get them to show me their number which is pinned to their uniform. Now these poor fellows become frightened. Who do I know in authority that makes me so bold? And will that person be able to damage their career? At this stage they either ask me to leave or during the silence that follows I tell them I am leaving. I pick up my pile of documents and walk to my car while they are left standing there watching their two months wages disappear! But since Maidan and Poroshenko I have never even been stopped. I have noticed over the past 11 years that there is a certain type of person who drives big expensive cars that the police turn a blind eye to. At first they drove Porsche Cayennes then big black BMW's and now I see them driving black Toyota Land Cruiser V8's and some Range Rovers. It is as if these "mafia" men are beyond the law. They have become the "party apparatchiks" of Soviet days who were above the law. As long as this situation remains Ukraine cannot be westernised!!
