Porsche Cayenne Turbo (955)
Reference — shown, never scored
Why 4.0: The SUV that paid for every GT3 since, now depreciated into an honest used car dailyed by people who just want the V8. Twenty years on, the trophy wore off — which oddly redeems it.

The long version
Two decades of depreciation turned the original Cayenne Turbo into a forum-recommended sleeper buy — cheap enough to acquire that the real cost conversation is entirely about air-suspension bags and timing-chain guides, not purchase price. The buyers now are mostly Porsche enthusiasts who wanted a V8 daily and could not stomach 911 money, treating the SUV as a parts-bin curiosity worth the maintenance gamble rather than a status object. Nobody cross-shops it against a new Cayenne for the badge anymore, the clearest evidence the trophy motive that built the segment has fully drained out of this one.
