The phone line from Porsche Cars Australia to Car Showroom remains silent, but in Europe a new Cayenne S Diesel model has been announced ahead of sales from January next year.
And get this – with 850Nm, the new S Diesel actually has more torque than any other Cayenne model (the next best is the 700Nm twin-turbo V8 ‘Turbo’ version). Maximum power for the Porsche Cayenne S Diesel is rated at 284kW.
Porsche bring Porsche, the new Cayenne S Diesel debuts a world first – in this case the first V8 diesel SUV with fuel-saving auto start/stop technology. Fuel consumption is rated at 8.3l/100kms, so with its 100-litre fuel tank, the Porsche Cayenne S Diesel affords a range between re-fills of 1192kms. If Porsche Cars Australia ever sends us a Cayenne S Diesel for testing, we might be able to report back on those numbers.
Externally, the Porsche Cayenne S Diesel mirrors the V8 S petrol model which retails in Australia for $151,300.
