What could a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S possibly have in common with a Caterham 7 Supersport to justify a comparison test? Well, they both have four wheels, a steering wheel and live on gasoline fuel, but other than that, they're completely different animals. And it is their differences, rather than their similarities, that make this test from EVO magazine all the more interesting.

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is a big and hefty SUV – it's 4,846mm long and weighs 2,215kg with power coming from a bi-turbocharged 4.8-litre V8 churning out 540bhp and 553 lb-ft of torque.

On the other side of the ring, we have the extremely compact Caterham 7 Supersport that was designed from the offset to be as light as possible, with this version tipping the scales at just 525kg, which makes up for the underpowered 1.6-litre unit with 140-horsepower.
