The 2010 Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia is a limited-edition, factory-built off-road SUV created to celebrate Porsche's back-to-back victories in the grueling Transsyberia Rally in 2007 and 2008. Porsche produced only 285 examples worldwide, with just 102 units delivered to the United States market, making it a highly rare and collectible variant of the first-generation 957 Cayenne.

Unlike a standard Cayenne S, the Transsyberia borrowed its upgraded powertrain from the more track-focused GTS, sporting a 4.8-liter naturally aspirated V8 generating 405 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to all four wheels via a full-time all-wheel drive system paired with a 6-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission and a 2-speed transfer case with rear-biased (62%) torque split.

While it delivered sports-car power, this special edition was heavily optimized by Porsche for rugged terrain. It came standard with front and rear stainless-steel skid plates, a 2-speed transfer case with low-range gearing and a locking center differential, and was equipped with standard air suspension featuring Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) to adjust ground clearance on the fly. An optional Off-Road Technology Package added rock rails, reinforced engine guards, and a locking rear differential.

The exterior features prominent rally aesthetics, including distinctive contrasting 'TRANSSYBERIA' graphics, orange or silver-painted side mirrors, air intake vents, and a dual-plane roof spoiler.

The cabin featured supportive sport seats with Alcantara inserts, an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel with a racing-style 12 o’clock marker, Alcantara headliner, and an optional seat-mounted fire extinguisher.
