NEXT-GENERATION PORSCHE CAYENNE LED BYINTELLIGENT, POWERFUL HYBRID

All-new SUV debuts in Geneva with more room, technology andperformance alongside significantly reduced weight and fuel

consumption

MISSISSAUGA February 25, 2010 --- Led by a technologically-advanced fullhybrid model, the all-new, next-generation Porsche Cayenne sport-utility willdebut at the Geneva motor show in early March. In line with the PorscheIntelligent Performance development strategy, the entire range, from theentry-level V6 to the 500-horsepower Cayenne Turbo, delivers improvedperformance while using less fuel and producing fewer emissions than everbefore.

The highlight of the range is the new Cayenne S Hybrid, which features ahighly-sophisticated parallel full hybrid drive system. With a combined poweroutput of 380 bhp from the supercharged V6 combustion engine mated to anelectric motor, and fuel consumption on the New European Driving Cycle ofjust 8.2 L/100 km, the Cayenne S Hybrid combines the performance of an

eight-cylinder with the economy of a six.

In the intelligent interaction of the 3.0-litre supercharged V6 and electricmotor, the Cayenne S Hybrid focuses on maximum efficiency. Depending ondriving conditions, either drive unit can operate independently or together.The 47-bhp (34-kW) electric motor is the ideal partner for the 333-bhpengine, which produces high torque at low engine speeds. With peak torqueat 427 lb-ft at just 1,000 rpm, the Cayenne S Hybrids performance is on parwith a V8-powered Cayenne S.

The hybrids two drive units are connected by a decoupling clutch. A hybrid

controller controls their complex interaction and intelligent management ofthe clutch makes the transition among various driving modes seamless. Likemany hybrids, the Cayenne S Hybrid can cover short distances on electricpower alone, free of emissions and noise to 60 km/h. For aggressiveacceleration, the motor provides a power boost to the gasoline engine.

What makes the Cayenne S Hybrid unique is its ability to cruise at highspeeds on electric power alone. The gasoline engine can be completelyswitched off and disengaged from the drivetrain at speeds of up to 156 km/h.In this so-called sailing or cruising mode, the drag forces exerted by the

combustion engine and their braking effect are eliminated in the interest oflower resistance and fuel consumption.

All new-generation Cayennes set high standards for efficiency andperformance. Compared with the former models, fuel consumption is downby up to 23 per cent and CO2 emissions are significantly reduced, despite

increased performance on all models.

A new eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission with a wide range ofgear ratios and the automatic start-stop function (first introduced on thePanamera) contributes to these improvements. So does efficient thermalmanagement of the engine and transmission cooling circuits, on-boardelectrical network recuperation, variable deceleration fuel cut-off and theCayennes intelligent lightweight construction.

Thanks to a special combination of materials as well as changes in theoverall vehicle concept, such as a new all-wheel drive system, weight has

been significantly reduced on all models as well. Despite an even higherstandard of safety engineering, the Cayenne S is 180 kg lighter, which notonly improves fuel consumption and lowers emissions, but also boostsperformance, agility, and handling.

A completely new design brings the new Cayenne even more in line with theentire Porsche lineup. Its sporting character is evident from all angles and itsPorsche shape and design characteristics are clearer than ever before.

The new Cayenne is 48 mm longer than its predecessor, while an extra 40mm in wheelbase ensures extra space and greater versatility. But despitelarger exterior dimensions, the elegant lines of the new Cayenne make itlook far more compact and dynamic.

Inside, the luxurious interior is distinguished by its high-quality fittings,touch-screen infotainment interface and a centre console which, like thePanamera, rises up to meet the dashboard. Porsches traditional set of fiveround instruments includes a high-resolution circular TFT screen to the rightof the tachometer. It can be used to change radio stations or vehiclesettings, or access the navigation system and view the map. Rear-seatcomfort is much improved as well. The bench slides fore-and-aft by 160 mm,while the backrest can be adjusted to three different angles.

The entry-level Cayenne features a 3.6-litre V6 that produces 300 bhp, 10more than the previous model. In conjunction with the eight-speed TiptronicS, fuel consumption has been reduced by 20 per cent on the New EuropeanDriving Cycle.

Fuel consumption is also down significantly on the high-torque Cayenne S. Its4.8-litre V8 produces 15 bhp more than the previous model. When combined

with the overall weight savings, performance is markedly increased, yetconsumption is down by 23 per cent.

The Cayenne Turbo, with its 500-bhp, 4.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8, alsoconsumes 23 per cent less fuel than its predecessor despite its improvedperformance and acceleration.

Together with the Cayenne S Hybrid, three of the new Cayenne modelsproduce less than 200 grams of CO2 per kilometre. At 193 g/km, theCayenne S Hybrid is not only the cleanest Cayenne model, but also thecleanest vehicle in Porsches entire portfolio.

The new Porsche Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo go on sale in Canada in July.Canadian Porsche Centres will offer the Cayenne and Cayenne S Hybrid inthe fall.
