Porsche Cayenne

Porsche Cayenne Hybrid

The Porsche Cayenne have perilous, off-pavement driving, because Porsche engineers endeavored to give the Cayenne the same sure-footed handling characteristics that the company’s cars exhibit on racetracks.

The Cayenne’s sophisticated suspension incorporates a self-leveling air system plus Porsche Active Suspension Management, which automatically adjusts each shock absorber accordingly. All models of Porsche Cayenne hags to surface conditions and driving style.

The Porsche Traction Management intelligent four-wheel-drive system relies on sensors everywhere measuring speed, lateral acceleration and more to figure out where to send engine power.

For style, pure performance and a balance of sport-utility virtues, the Porsche Cayenne is tough to beat.

Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid

On the automotive spectrum, Porsche and Prius are poles apart. For decades, one was the definitive German high-performance sports car brand, renowned for its extreme engineering and screaming flat-six engines. Porsche had first discussed a hybrid Cayenne in 2005; the first functioning version appeared at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2007.

The 2011 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid will use a direct-injected, supercharged Audi 3.0-liter V6 engine rated at 333 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The electric motor then takes up the load until the engine restarts. Porsche engineers call the result “sailing”—for the quiet sensation of speed using only electric power.

As in most hybrids, the electric motor also restarts the engine, and recharges the battery pack (believed to contain 1.2 kilowatt-hours of energy). Fitted into the former spare-tire well, the pack uses Sanyo nickel-metal-hydride cells (as do the Ford Escape Hybrid and Ford Fusion Hybrid). Porsche’s hybrid system is tuned to give lots of electric assist at highway speeds.

• Porsche says the Cayenne S Hybrid runs up to 1.2 miles in all-electric mode.
• Most Cayenne Hybrids are likely to be sold in North America, where hybrids take a greater share of sales than any other market. Porsche will use the same system in a hybrid version of its upcoming Panamera four-door sedan.
