Status Design bodykit for the Porsche Cayenne

Status Design Cayenne
Click for enlarged image

We’ve seen some pretty aggressive Porsche Cayenne bodykits around and people are actually buying them and slapping them onto their cars, even here in Malaysia. But really, this is possibly the most outrageous bodykit of all. Just look at that Enzo-like nose cone! This kit was developed by Status Design, a company based in Moscow, Russia. If you ever want your Cayenne to look like some kind of bizarre Enzo-Peugeot hybrid, this is your solution. Right now it’s all just on paper as a preview, but the company aims to put the kit into production.

    Hmmm personally not really like it.

    Think, tak kena langsung. Tapi kalau ubah sikit cam scoop tu ubah atas bonet, LED light letak kat bawah, spoiler tukar sikit. Dah nak jadi kapal pengangkut Star Trek Enterprice. Mr. Spock ?.

    As a SUV, they should make it look tougher. Sorry, I don’t like it.

    Hai,

    To be honest with you, this design is Cool. Should I say Ah Beng version Russia. But the workmanship, colour matching and the looks of the material is Super Fine. Maybe its a glimpse on how the future looks like!

    Radical… that’s all i can say, typical russian.

    The Russians should stick to design weapons and fighter jets and leave car designing to people who know how…

    …and please stay out of automobile industry.

    The worst thing about the Cayenne are that their owners constantly double-park them everywhere. Probably they cannot afford to pay parking after spending all the money on the car.

    It’s not exactly narrow either, so it’s a bit harder to squeeze past one than squeezing – past a Kancil, for example.

    And when they park at street corners, they completely block your view of oncoming traffic – even if you’re driving an SUV yourself, since they all have completely black window tinting and you can’t see through them (is it even legal)?

    And when a Cayenne owner hits the highway, he will almost certainly tailgate other traffic, queue jump and stop in the middle of the road to pick up some stupid kid from ballet classes.

    Along with the Toyota Alphard, Porsche Cayennes are without-a-doubt driven solely by idiots.

    And if you’re going to spend that much money on an SUV, at least get a Range Rover for heaven’s sake. At least if you own a Range Rover, people won’t automatically assume you have a short manhood…

    i am going to get sick .
    it looks odd , just too odd.

    the thing i dont like about merc and porsche is that they put the LED daydriving light at somewhere at the bumper as 2 strips of LED only . this is not something i expect from such a big car manufacture company. it should be done like audi or bmw, inside the headlamp .

    Yup I agree, but you forgot to mention about the Camry, X5 drivers. But then not all of the owners are that bad right? Usually owners of these cars can afford a driver, so blame ‘em instead…
