Stock Porsche takes on famous Hell's Gate 

Dude I'm gonna take my 911 up there! Had no idea Porsches could do this! Thanks!

This guy clearly has a lot of experience and skills. He is able to climb the trail with minimal guidance from the outside. Picking the correct lines, tire pressure and the tire choice seriously helped the Cayenne punch well above its usual status.

Was really surprised by its capabilities. And the 4wd traction control seems brilliant in distributing torque where needed! Great driver too.

As someone who had been through Hell's Gate and Hot Tub, I salute you. You are a brave man with mad skills!!! Respect!!!

Love the stock cayenne series. Gives a good idea of what other softroaders can be capable of with a few battle scars and light modifications.

This is so awesome. I haven’t taken my Cayenne on anything this gnarly, but every time I do take it off road I’m always blown away with how capable it is

Very impressive that Cayenne! Not only is a great road cruiser but also has excellent off-road performance!

That was impressive . The Porsche did way better than I expected. Awesome !!

Thats some driving skills and i think one of the most underated 4wd cars of its time

Something tells me this guy could probably drive a Zamboni up Hells gate. Always fun to watch a super skilled and humble professional. Thanks to your team for the great content.

This is the definition of "doing it in style"!

I'm not surprised. I drove the early version and I was very suprised what it can do. It's got the technology and it works.

THUMBS UP ,🥰 NOW I KNOW I NEVER GET STUCK AT THE MALL IN OUR STOCK 2006 CAYENNE S .

I am genuinely impressed that a stock Cayenne could do this so well! Fantastic skills

Surprised that MDX didn't blow it's tranny into a million pieces. But that Touareg with a Porsche badge was legit.

Impressive. I had no idea those were so capable. Also, all things being equal, 9 out of 10 people could not do that, even in the same car. At least not as gracefully and safely with minimal car scrape. Excellent skills. BTW both of you are certifiable. Well done. Databyter

Really impressive offroad capabilities and driving skills! I had the same generation in 2009 (it had the 3.0 V6 Audi diesel engine) RED GTS color paint with light tan (sand beige) leather interior, it was unique in my country :) as the dealer told me. I've driven over 250 000 miles in 10 years then sold it. TANK! :)

You sir deserve a sponsorship from porsche. I honestly would never had considered buying a porsche suv because I just thought they were kind of a gimmick. When they first came out, i thought they were just trying to cash in on the suv craze. But after seeing this video I would actually consider buying one, knowing now that they are actually a capable suv. BTW nice driving 👌

Its sooo bizarre seeing an Acura MDX, YET alone, a street Porche doing a rock crawl in Moab! Thanks for thinking outside the box. Anything is possible! ; / Gen 2 Montero guy here.

Omg! Your gonna give me a heart attack one of these days! Love the shirt😁. Great video

This is insane! I have an 09' Cayenne GTS with about 60K miles on the clock. I baby it, so I'll stick to West Texas sand dunes and desert trails at most... but this is extremely reassuring knowing my GTS is an off-roading beast! Also, I'm not nearly as experienced as these guys! Lol 🤷🏻‍♂️ Hats off to y'all! 🤘🏼

Love it, it goes to show you the G wagon is not the only game in town

Matt’s off road recovery neeeeeds to see this! Amazing job!

Both the 955 and 957 Cayennes were built from the beginning to run these kinds of trails. I have a book that depicts the development of the 1st gen Cayenne and Porsche did do a lot of testing on Moab (and elsewhere). So they did it before... No surprise. Now, for the current generation... they probably dropped the ball. In due time, they realized most of them are used as mall crawlers only.

Very impressive! Time for a VW Toureag.

First generation cayenne was a fantastic off reader, especially if you got the off road package which included lockers, air suspension. They really built a capable vehicle but since no one ever used it off road the second gen is no where near as good.

Nice, thanks for not overspinning the tyres and letting us the traction control in work! Just needs a lift and most of the trails are yours in a super comfy salon

the traction control this porsche has is amazing almost like having diff locks

Well done. aced that with no spotter damn, im impressed. quality offroad content

I'm genuinely impressed.

as someone that just bought a 2017 cayenne gts, this is impressiveeeee. cayennes are animals. almost 8000 pound towing capacity as well!

Nice work! "You're on your rocker, but oh well" LOL

Good work! Making it look easy!

Makes me want to try this in my XC90……when I buy a truck. The XC90 is surprisingly capable and has a decent amount of ground clearance

Wow. Hats off to the German. I've done that trail in a properly moified Jeep. It's way more difficult than these guys make it look. Well done, gents.

So sick! Well done! I took my ‘03 Sequoia on Finns & Things earlier this year, so fun! I think Ryan lives by me. I’ve been wondering who owns that sweet MDX. Hope to meet you all someday!

Je regarde ta vidéo depuis la france, et je suis impressionné! le systeme du cayenne est incroyable

Cayenne is a beast

Hell of a driver, there!

Its almost like this bad boy was MADE to do this. Sweet!

Nothing more satisfying than seeing a brand new 90k+ Porsche getting banged up, thrashed, dinged and dented. Well done!

Not gonna lie, i'm pretty impressed on the Acura/Honda as well :)

This is really cool, Harry! Well done!!

Se la banco la Cayenne!! No sabia que podia hacer eso, impresionante!!

Awesome display of what you can do with a center locker, tires and a heap of skill. And the ponies certainly don't hurt 😂

Hell yeah, thats really dope!

Great stuff Man! Makes me want to get my 15' Cayenne Diesel out there, I love mine!

Dude! I just found this video and I actually have both the Cayenne and MDX. I was looking for someone who lifted an MDX. 👏🏾👏🏾 edit: After watching the video, That MDX looks like the 2WD model and it looked like it did well so a AWD would do it. 👏🏾👏🏾.

Fantastic stuff! That was a pleasure to watch. I know nothing about the Porsche off-road system, but based on the way it performs, it looks very similar to the Jeep Quadra-Drive 2 system. I’ve owned two Grand Cherokees with the Mercedes Benz OM642 3.0L V6 Diesel engines and MB 5-speeds. One had the Quadra-Trac 2 system and the other the QD2. The QT2 system looks very similar to how the MDX performed with wheel spin while it hunted for traction, while the QD2 performed similarly to the Cayenne with much less wheel spin and torque vectoring to the wheels with traction.

INSANE!!! KUDOS! Beeindruckend Porsche!!!

Here for the Cayenne off-road content.... subscribed 👍👍

Watching the incapable mdx was just as much fun

This guy has skills, but man that Cayenne made it look like a relative breeze.

It’s amazing how capable a vehicle is when you give zero Fs about carnage!

In germany i saw a german ww2 command car (4wd) on the trails where i was wheeling my CJ7. It seemed to do well.

Very nice! I've been checking out your other vids and mods. I'm looking at adding a Cayenne S to the stable and head back out to Moab. I ran that in my FJ60 back in 1998 at the first TLCA Moab run...drove all the way there from Georgia. I have FJ40 and FJ73 Cruisers but don't wanna drive that far again... Cayenne will be much nicer trip!

lol wouldn't be surprised if you got a thank you from @porsche for the advertisement

Amazing skills and amazing video!!

I am a Jeep guy but I commend you on your skill and chutzpah…well done! Next: Rubicon?

17:15 the typical early 2000s Honda Odyssey when the transmission decides to become a 5-neutral automatic on a trip to Florida.

For the most part this just shows that a good driver that knows the trail very very well can work with just about any decently capable vehicle through Hell's Gate. These SUV's just don't impress me. And the cost of repair should something go wrong just make no sense. But this is a cool experiment. Great video.

Crazy but super cool video. Nice driving 👍

This is such a sick video! Love those Grabber A/Tx

Amazing what a set of good tires and traction control will do. I wouldn't really call it stock however with those tires.

It’s not punching above its usual status. This is its usual status. It’s a bad ass power train.

I am impressed, at least one US American who can pronounce "Porsche" correctly ;-)

12:09 looks like they have rejected humanity. Good job brother.

That’s pretty brave wheeling a MDX seeing as how those transmissions are notoriously weak. I can smell the burnt transmission fluid from here 😂

No Fuchs Given

Driver experience is half of the equasion in all scenarios concerning capability. Before purchasing an FJ i used to drive a stock 2000 Toyota Echo 2d Coupe in manual transmission to any destination i could make it to. That cars above average ground clearance, light weight, low COG, and short wheelbase made it possible to get some places most wouldnt believe in dry conditions outside of sand. The fact i only paid a thousand dollars for it certainly helped in terms of risk taking. For comparison recently while out exploring in the stock FJ i ran into a peculiar situation with 28° off camber tilt and 15° uphill climb near a cliff with no room for error. Felt like it was on the verge of rolling and i opted to back out. Based on what i paid for it i wasnt willing to risk it but i know from experience the Echo would have made it with no risk of rollover due to low COG!

Easy for the Cayenne, great off roader, the only thing holding this vehicles is the ground clearance, amazing vehicle

That MDX's trans is gonna melt, at least it's not a new car

It's like watching a Subaru but with proper amounts of power.

Very impressive!

Bone stock but with larger and more aggressive rubber.

I run 955 and man I'm happy! I hope I'll make It here one day! I'm all the way in Washington,! Like like and share for sure! 😂👍

Very Nice driving

Im surprised about the Honda or whatever it was.

Rip to that Accura transmission

Love the content, just picked up a 2009 Cayenne S because of your videos up in St George. Do you know of any tire fitment charts for the cayenne? I was looking at running 33" with the eurowise 2-1/2" lift. With their subframe spacer.

Pretty damn good I’d say 👍🏻

15:25, the car had already given up and was like: Let's go home, this will never work...

Hey Harrison love your channel! Just binged watched everything up to here from the start! I had a question if you don't mind? The 275/55/20 on stock 20inch wheels- did you have to modify the sills or arch liner? Did they rub at all? Thank you!

Very Impressive. Second only to a stock XJ going up hells gate with no tire slip.

Excellent car and driver. Sure looks a lot of fun there, too far for me though :(

Used General three groove tires in Africa's Sahara on a PS10 because of their strong sidewalls. Narrow dirt tracks slices tirewalls of standard tires

So exited to watch film 🎞 lets go

Awesome to watch. Every single BOH trail though. If you get it through Pritchett, Porsche needs to gift you a new 911 or something lol

"Hello, Jake at State Farm? You're not going to believe where I have my car right now".

The Tourag, Q7 and Porsche Cayenne share the same basic bones. Engines and transmissions are maker specific. All can do a 45% angle; the V10 TDI could pull a 747 - and did.

Nice! We took our ZR2 through Hells Revenge but I'm not sure if I would take my 2010 Cayenne GTS through it. For some reason it doesnt look like your Cayenne is raised up all the way? Maybe it's the 20" rims? I cant believe you were at 50 psi till the end??! That's sweet to be the first Cayenne through Hells Gate

At what point did you lock the center diff? Was it always locked for the full video or just the hell’s gate ascent? Awesome video 🤙🏼

Porsche - There Is No Substitute! 😄

damn..... now this is impressive.... i own the same monster too... but dint know its potential!

Amazing! Vehicles

Having the rights tires is the key

Excellent wheeling! If you want, I’ll do Holy Cross with you… we struggled with a completely stock 2 door Rubicon and mostly stock Sasquatch bronco 4 door. We made some mistakes that we’ll rectify in 2023 and I would definitely add a winch for it. The bronco won’t redo it stock, but I will except I’ll have a winch that I may need.

A great showing of traction control use on the Porsche. I am guessing that Honda doesn't have TC? They only ever sold about 10 of those Honda in Australia and I haven't seen one for years.

A ton of fun! In fact, 5,056 lbs of fun!

Someone need to co tact the marketing department in Porsche USA and advise the they need to send this gentleman a check for his advertisement services.
