Cayenne Proves Porsche’s Goal of Better Gas mileage

With consumption reductions of 20 to 21 percent in the overall EPA gas mileage rating (using the hybrid), the 2011 Cayenne sport utility vehicle has achieved its goal of improved fuel efficiency and also the decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.

The fundamental principle from the “Porsche Intelligent Performance” philosophy, that is providing more power with lower consumption, increased efficiency, and reduced CO2 emissions, particularly pertains to the brand new Cayenne model series that continued sale this season. The six-cylinder Cayenne model consumes 20 % less fuel than its predecessor, as the V8 Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo designs include enjoyed similar reductions. Simultaneously, many of these new vehicles offer more power and better performance.

This decrease in consumption over the entire Cayenne range can partly be related to technique new eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission with automatic stop/start function along with a wide gear ratio range. Also critical towards the improved efficiency may be the Cayenne’s fat loss and intelligent lightweight construction. Engineers used a weight-optimized material mix and modified the vehicle’s overall construction, including the event and utilization of a brand new lighter-weight four-wheel drive system. This 400-pound weight reduction not just helped enhance the Cayenne’s overall fuel consumption and CO2 emissions but additionally improved performance, agility, and handling.

Obviously, the brand new highlight inside the model series – the Cayenne S Hybrid – includes a highly sophisticated parallel full hybrid drive system, which delivers much more impressive figures. Providing the performance of the V8 using the economy of the V6, it combines the ability output of the supercharged V6 combustion engine by having an electric motor.

The Cayenne S Hybrid has official fuel consumption estimates using current EPA test protocols of 21 mpg within the city and 25 mpg on the road.
