THE THIRD generation Cayenne
PORSCHE pulled all stops to hold a spectacular event last Tuesday in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen to unveil the third-generation Cayenne.
With more than 760,000 units sold since 2002, it combines even more of the typical Porsche performance with excellent everyday practicality.
Despite its extended standard equipment, the Cayenne is up to 65 kilograms lighter thanks to its intelligent lightweight construction.
At launch, two turbocharged six-cylinder petrol engines will be available, with 250 kW (340 hp) in the Cayenne and 324 kW (440 hp) in the Cayenne S. The Cayenne S has a top speed of 265 kph and accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in under five seconds.
“We have completely redeveloped our successful model. It has been visibly and tangibly improved and perfected in all respects. The Cayenne has also been digitalized and networked throughout to give it a forward-thinking design”, says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board at Porsche AG.
Porsche has also enhanced the look of the Cayenne significantly.
“Our primary objective was to accentuate the character of the vehicle. More Porsche, more Cayenne. The new Cayenne is more precise, elegant, athletic and expressive”, says Michael Mauer, Director of Style at Porsche AG, who unveiled the style of the new Cayenne alongside Peter Varga (Director Exterior Design) and Ivo van Hulten (Director Interior Design).
The third generation of the SUV is a completely new development. Its powerful turbo engines, new eight-speed Tiptronic S gearbox, new chassis systems and innovative Porsche Advanced Cockpit display and control concept with total connectivity will take both sport and comfort to the next level.
