Porsche Cayenne Balrog by Jeremie Paret


JEREMIE PARET BALROG

The Balrog is an aggressive and punchy wide bodykit with a touch of elegance. After 8 months of research to give to his customers the best quality, Jeremie Paret is proud to introduce it to the world. The Balrog includes a front bumper with genuine Cayenne Turbo side lights and fog lights with angel eyes. This bumper improves the cooling of all intercoolers of the Cayenne, and the cooling of the front brakes. Moreover, the drilled luxury grill offers an innovative design in automotive styling. Of course, all Porsche options, like the xenon nozzles or the parking detectors, can be mounted on the Balrog bodykit. The wide fenders allow the Balrog to fit very large wheels for an improved handling and an uncompromised style with big lips. At the rear of the car, the spoiler and its diffuser give you more aerodynamic pressure. The diffuser can be removed in only a few minutes to let you install your tow hook. At last, the side skirts finish to give to the Balrog its so different and eye-catching look.

Of course, this bodykit can easily take place in Paret’s individual program and be completed by a custom interior, an engine tuning, new wheels, etc.

It's almost impossible to make a Cayenne look good.

[f6fhellcat13]

It's almost impossible to make a Cayenne look good.
... yet all these modified ones end up looking even worse than the original and that ain't no mean feat.

[aiasib]

are the photos noisy? or is the paint glittered?

[LTSmash]

Well... the Trans Siberian is still the least ugly of the Cayenne's.

[LeonOfTheDead]

Ferrari himself said the best Ferrari is the one that has still to come.
I say the best (looking) Cayenne is the one that has never been.

[silverhawk]

the front grill reminds me of the GT-R's

[clutch-monkey]

balrog???
yep, you shall not pass, that's for sure

[CdocZ]

What.

[Roentgen]

The front grill is the same shape as the one on the Nissan GTR... and that doesn't work.

[Niko_Fx]

Another Cayenne? You have got to be kidding me.

[henk4]

at least one who may have understood my earlier post:)

He obviously didn't anticipate the future of Ferrari very well then.

[NicFromLA]

Just awful.

I know most of you won't agree, but after the original BMW X5 and the Range Rover Sport, I think the Cayenne Turbo is one of the best looking SUVs out there. That being said, this looks like what you would drive if you were into making strippers dress up like Darth Vader.

The Cayenne Turbo may be the best good looking, but I can't see it being good looking, as a car, as an object, as >100.000 € on 4 wheels.

[DesmoRob]

My thoughts exact. A GT-R that's been eating out at fast food joints and left the track behind. What goes through the minds of all these guys pumping out cayenne after cayenne. They absolutely insist on answering this question that nobody asked, over and over again.


He obviously didn't anticipate the future of Ferrari very well then.

Maybe not as far as looks are concerned, because everyone has their own personal input on that, but the quality and the drivability of the cars has far outdone anything from the past, and you can't argue that. The newer they get, the less they cost to fix, and the less time you spend in the shop.

[Wes.Coleman]

[cargirl1990]

i was watching Sweet 16 on MTV with my 14 year old sister. this girl had gotten a Porsche Cayenne for her first flippin ugly car. it was costumized by West Coast Customs , and you know what that means. t.v screens in unescessary places, your name on the headrests, ugliest wheels that you ever laid eyes on, and a ridiculous paint job. let alone a over the top sound system which her dad was hesitant to purchase for her Cayenne but got it for her anyways ( that includes the headrest etc. which all cost $100,000. ) stupid spoiled brats. :mad:

[cargirl1990]

is it ok if i say that i like SUV but no with a passion? i hate sport SUV's with a passion though. and i just read in Car and Driver magazine about that ugly Panamera and they brought up the Cayenne say that it's one of Porsche's best selling.
i though: WHAT!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!

[DesmoRob]

They brought it out with that in mind, because it would generate more profits. More money = more funds to develop the rest of the lineup (the cars the enthusiasts like).

[LTSmash]

They brought it out with that in mind, because it would generate more profits. More money = more funds to develop the rest of the lineup (the cars the enthusiasts like).

But there are really only two cars the enthusiasts appreciate in Porsche's lineup, GT2 and GT3. That's a lot of filler to only make two cars that relate to diehard fans.

...I'll say it again. It's just business. :(

Someone just saw Spaceballs. :D

[DesmoRob]

the turbo accelerates comparable to a boxster or boxster S, and the Turbo S goes like a Carrera 2. So, they are quite the sleepers. It'll more than wipe the grins off the faces of all the fart canned civics out there.

I don't really believe at this old tale, do you? ;)
The Carrera GT, the previous 996 GT3 mk1 and GT2 mk1 came before the Cayenne probably generated "huge" profits if not payed back the investments, but they were there, pure and outrageous extreme spotscars.
And so it was before the Cayenne came.
TBH, before the Cayenne came, Porsche was about to die, but the Boxter managed to save it.
Now since the advent of the Cayenne, did you really see more sportscar from Porsche? The line-up is the same since ages, GT3 or RS models are just a matter of time every time.
If the Boxter was enough to save the company, then the Cayman could have been enough to gain a bit more money.
Yes, Porsche is a business as others (I don't see all of us in a merely economical forum though, how's this?!), and if they were willing to earn more money with the Cayenne, it's up to them, they gained money and lost some enthusiast, but they absolutely didn't have in mind to give us more sportscars as they never came. Just money.
I'm glad they are now 10 M € in red, don't ask me about VW though.

I didn't mean that they wanted to pump out more numbers or newer models, but rather that they just wanted to invest more into developing what already exists, without creating financial discomfort. The Boxster was a fantastic way for Porsche to generate profits, because its somewhat affordable, and it has a Porsche badge on it. That alone is enough to make a lot of people want to buy one. That said, it wasn't really enough to give them a boost. That's why its hard to argue against the fact that the Cayenne brought in far more clients. Now, all of a sudden I can have a Porsche that I can take camping?! Hell I'll take two! It may not be a Porsche in any sense of the name, but it was a great way for the company to get some money rolling in.

And yes John, it may have been an inappropriate use of the word "enthusiast", but lets face it, next to the Cayenne any Porsche is an enthusiast's Porsche.:p

I still think the Cayman should have been enough for them. Or even the Panamera (better looking perhaps and less pretending to be an actual comfortable spacious luxury sedan rather than just a Porsche sedan).
The Cayenne (in a joint venture with the Touareg) is just over the line.
Sure it sold a lot, mainly because of the badge, but then why all the other companies in the world aren't making one? For a bunch of reasons, but I like to think that one of those is "I don't want that thing in our showrooms": ;)

[DesmoRob]

"I don't want that thing in our showrooms": ;)

Definitely a very valid point, but I think Porsche's ceo is more business than heritage minded. You'll never see a company like Ferrari or Lamborghini bring out a production suv just to boost their sales, even if it did make sense financially. Thank god for it too, because I'd be choked up if my beloved pony car brand started whoring itself.

I hope I didn't speak too soon. We'll see what the future brings. One thing is for sure though, and that's the fact that the Cayenne makes Porsche less tasty. I don't see them as the exotic marque their name once represented. Now when I think pure production sports cars, the only names that come to mind right away are the obvious Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus. Porsche now is known only to me as "that other company that makes cars for everyone." Sad, but thats how it goes.

Hey, the original millitary humvee and civilian hummer work vehicles were great. It wasn't until they tried making it into a luxury car that it started sucking. By the time the H2 and then H3 showed up, GM had pretty much ruined everything good about it anyways. I think it's funny, though, that the lambo actually weighs more than the original military humvee, even with light (spall resistant) armor.

They weren't supposed to be appealing, though. They were great utility vehicles until the addition of so much wannabe luxury killed that and trippled the price.

Fair, but there are differences, and they go as follows:

- the LM is actually cool, rare, and highly sought after
- The LM isn't a Porsche, Audi and Volkswagen all at the same time.

what a bunch of useless tits. Not a single person thought to himself "hmm this looks different, we should figure out what it is". That's the typical shoot first ask questions later mentality. What a f'ing waste of a Lambo. Idiots.

right because you are a soldier and should be used to think while bullets are screaming at one 1 inch from your ear, you should think a bit more...smartly.
This isn't a case of "we didn't know what it was", just it was the bad man's brother's car, let's have some fun. It could have even being a Testarossa.
Next time what, they'll fill with explosive a bunker not checking if the bathroom has gold taps and it's made out of Italian marble?
I'm not pissed by the fact they just trashed without a real serious purpose a rare LM002, just that they did it only to have fun.
I can't believe, even remotely, they couldn't do differently if not trashing one of Saddam's cars, actually, I don't see why to do that in first place.

except they used it to simulate a VBIED, and tested the strength of the walls of their installation. do i like that an interesting and rare care was destroyed, no, but as long as it led to some knowledge to make them safer then it was worth it.

This. And to be fair most people would have no idea what that thing is. It really looks like some kit car or something. The fact that they didn't use the other cars he has (most of which are more recognizably valuable) probably says something. What you don't hear about here is that as a result of that they changed the way their bases were set up (mostly spacing) to prevent a similar bomb from doing damage.

I'm sure that the average person doesn't even know that Lamborghini made a HMMWV one off special anyway.

My question is: did it seriously lead to some knowledge? or even, was that (blowing a random car) the only and better way to do it?
I still think it was something done just for the sake of it.

I can't seriously think they didn't know how safe those barriers were before of this or that it was the best thing to do. I'm actually wondering why we have images of this if not for the reason it was a Saddam's car, and lately also a pretty arre one.
I'd think that even if it was a Lada Samara btw.

No offense to them, it's just that I can't see this episode as something with an actual sense in it if not "ok, let's see how much explosive it takes to destroy that wall".
Again, no offense in this.

Certainly it wouldn't have been this popular if it hadn't turned out to be such a rare car, but this was actually useful. You could do a bunch of math to find out what will happen, but that's like taking a race car out for the first time and expecting to win after doing some math. There's variables so real life testing is necessary. Until recently they hadn't been worrying about VBIEDs as much and designed defenses against RPGs or similar, which only involve a couple pounds of explosives. The millitary actually destroys a fair number of their own vehicles every year in testing like this, this time they just used something else.

I wasn't thinking about math, but rather doing actual tests in actual testing facilities were data can be collected and analyzed, the experiments repeated and so on.

[wwgkd]

I wasn't thinking about math, but rather doing actual tests in actual testing facilities were data can be collected and analyzed, the experiments repeated and so on.

Testing facilities for this kind of this are basically the same as this, plus a high speed camera. That's all they had for testing land mine resistance of humvees. It was a landmine, a humvee chained down to keep it from going to far, a high speed camera, and a bunch of people (most of whom probably didn't actually need to be there) watching. They didn't really lose too much by doing it this way, and the results were much quicker than waiting for a 2 year study. Low tech (cheap en masse) ways of defeating explosives are usually what's used in bases, berms, sandbags and concrete walls, so a lot of data isn't as important to that as it is in testing the armor on a tank.

They picked their job, not me. It couldn't have been that bad of a day anyway if they had time to gut an LM and fill it with explosives. I can understand if it at least had a purpose behind it like Brendon was saying. If they learned something in the process that would later help their efficiency or benefit their safety, then yes an old Lambo doesn't have much value when compared with the peoples' lives in question. The first impression I got from it though was that they were bored and had nothing better to do, so lets screw up the enemy's car just to spite him while he's already dead. I don't care what your profession is, idiots deserve harsh words, but given that I don't know for sure what the real point of the whole project was, I'll just hold my tongue now.

Just bored soldiers is the way some articles make it sound, but if you noticed they used the same type of wall that bases use and immediately after this test they changed the design of their bases.

Yeah, bored soldiers do a lot (drowning an electric humvee,) but officers generally can't get away with it so much. Plus it's not like you just walk off a base with those explosives, it's actually harder to get explosives in the millitary than as a civillian at a mining supply store.
