Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG of Stuttgart is launching its most powerful diesel model on the market as the Cayenne S Diesel.
Under the hood is the 4.2-litre eight-cylinder engine with biturbo charging produces 382 hp (281 kW) and offers a maximum torque of 850 Nm. This drives the new Cayenne S Diesel to top values in both dynamic performance and efficiency.
The new top diesel completes the sprint from 0-to-100 km in 5.7 seconds, and its top speed is 252 km/h, it utilizes energy in an exemplary way, Its NEDC fuel consumption is just 8.3 litres per 100 km (CO2: 218 g/km).The EPA says this Cayenne should deliver 19 city/29 highway mpg and 23 mpg combined.
One factor contributing to this excellent value is the auto start/stop function,the new model is the world’s only SUV with a diesel V8 to offer this functionality.
Way back in 2011, Porsche redesigned the Cayenne. By making extensive use of aluminum and trimming the fat wherever it could, the current-generation Cayenne is some 400 pounds lighter than the SUV it replaced. In diesel guise, the Cayenne weighs in at 4,795 pounds — more than 700 pounds lighter than the Q7 TDI and the Mercedes-Benz GL350 Bluetec and 400 pounds lighter than the BMW X5 diesel.
The Cayenne S Diesel with its superior engine power is also the ideal vehicle when towing and manoeuvrings boat or horse trailers. The Cayenne S Diesel still has sufficient power reserves even when working at its maximum towing capacity of 3.5 metric tonnes. The new vehicle also takes on the role of a long-distance champion,based on its NEDC fuel consumption the Cayenne S Diesel – equipped with an optional 100-litre fuel tank which can be driven a distance of about 1,200 km without having to stop to refuel.
The smooth running properties and resonant sound of the eight-cylinder engine attain a level comparable to that of previous Porsche V8 engines. The Cayenne S Diesel gets its very special character from PTM active all-wheel drive. This system produces the driving qualities of a rear-wheel drive vehicle – together with all of its benefits in handling and precision. In a sporty, dynamic style of driving, front-wheel drive actions precisely adapted to the driving situation intervene to improve stability and traction. The optional Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) makes this excellent dynamic performance even sportier.
On the outside, the all new Porsche Cayenne S Diesel is wearing the same body which you would get to see on a gasoline-powered Cayenne S, it includes the black fins on the front diffuser and the air inlets on each side of the diffuser. At the corners, the Cayenne S Diesel boasts a set of 10-spoke rims, but there is no confirmation that the S Diesel will feature these rims.
The only way to identify this model, as a diesel model is the “Diesel” badge on the front and rear.
