Cleaner greener....Porsche?

The new generation Porsche Cayenne is to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show next week and it features a new sophisticated parallel full hybrid drive.
The Cayenne S Hybrid has fuel consumption in the New European Driving Cycle of just 8.2 litres/100 kilometres and CO2 emissions of just 193 g/km.
Led by the Cayenne S Hybrid, all models in the new generation are trendsetters in efficiency and performance in their respective segments.
Compared with the former models, fuel consumption is down by up to 23 per cent, since the new Cayenne, like every Porsche, has been developed according to the principle of “Porsche Intelligent Performance": more power on less fuel, greater efficiency and lower CO2 emissions.
These objectives result, not least, from the introduction of the new Tiptronic S eight speed automatic transmission with Auto Start Stop and a wide spread of gear ratios, thermal management on the engine and transmission cooling circuit, on-board network recuperation, variable engine cut-off and intelligent lightweight construction.
Weight is down on the Cayenne S by 180 kg – despite the improvement of product substance and an even higher standard of safety. This clearly has very positive effects not just on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, but also on performance, agility, and handling.
Sales of the Cayenne in New Zealand begin on July 24. Initial models to go on sale will be the Cayenne S, S Hybrid and Turbo. These will be joined later by the V6 diesel and V6 petrol models.
With CO2 emissions of just 193 g/km, the Cayenne S Hybrid is not only the cleanest version of the Cayenne with the lowest level of emissions, but also the cleanest Porsche in the company's entire portfolio!
Together with the Cayenne S Hybrid, no less than three of the five versions of the new Cayenne consume less than 10 litres of fuel per 100 kms in the New European Driving Cycle, with two models emitting less than 200 grams of CO2 per kilometre.
