Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT
Reference — shown, never scored
Why 5.2: A 2.2-tonne SUV with a Nürburgring record — the only Cayenne bought on lap time. Still a school-run machine five days a week, which is the point of the category.

The long version
Owners buy the Nurburgring lap-record story once and then mostly forget about it, using the car the way anyone uses a large fast SUV: school runs, airport parking, the occasional back road taken a bit quicker than necessary. Values have eased in a steady, unremarkable line since 2022, no speculative spike, no flipper premium, just normal three-tonne-adjacent depreciation. No badges attach because it does not do anything extreme in either direction, not driven hard enough to be a track tool, not precious enough to be a trophy. It is the Performance SUV category's proof that a genuinely capable chassis can still live an ordinary life.
