Porsche’s new Cayenne S is propelled by a twin-turbo V8 4.2-litre engine that produces 382 bhp, which enables it to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.7 seconds and to reach a top speed of 252 km/h.
The vehicle will reportedly consume 8.3l/100km of fuel and emit 218g of CO2 per km.
Thanks to its impressive torque 850 Nm, the Cayenne S Diesel can handle any type of trailer under 3.5 tonnes. Its 100l tank enables it to travel nearly 1,200 km without refuelling.
Porsche added all the features it could to give the SUV near sports-car-like performance.
The Porsche Cayenne S Diesel will be available in dealerships in January 2013. — AFP/Relaxnews
