Porsche Cayenne HybridAt
the IAA 2005, Porsche announced it will produce a hybrid version of the Cayenne
before 2010 (Porsche Cayenne Hybrid). Two years later, at the IAA 2007, Porsche
presented a demonstration car of the Cayenne Hybrid and demonstration model
of the Cayenne Hybrid's drivetrain (including all engines and batteries).
Currently Porsche AG is preparing to introduce its Cayenne Hybrid to North
American audiences at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Recently, Michael Winkler, managing director of Porsche Australia, revealed that a hybrid Cayenne would be available in 2009. Winkler also said that the system is designed to work with all of the engines in the Cayenne lineup. This means a hybrid Cayenne Turbo could be possible. The hybrid will only be mated to the all wheel drive system and won't be offered in any other models. The Cayenne Hybrid is expected to achieve 9 L/100 km (26 mpg–U.S. / 31 mpg–imp) under tougher European standards. Porsche conducted the scheduled unveiling of its much anticipated 2006 Cayman at the Frankfurt auto show but it also announced it will build a hybrid version of its existing Cayenne sport-utility vehicle. Porsche said the hybrid Cayenne,
to be launched at the end of the decade, will cut fuel consumption about 15
percent while retaining its driving dynamics. The full-hybrid system, which
will use a gasoline internal-combustion engine and an electric motor that
will operate independently or jointly, is being developed with Volkswagen
Group, which also announced a hybrid recently (for China). |
