This is the Porsche Cayenne S Diesel. It offers a driving experience that is typical of a Porsche and yet is altogether new. It is emotional like a sports car in its dynamic performance and sound. The smooth running properties and resonant sound of the eight-cylinder engine attain a level comparable to that of previous Porsche V8 engines. The Porsche Cayenne S Diesel gets its very special character from PTM active all-wheel drive. This system produces the driving qualities of a rear-wheel drive vehicle – together with all of its benefits in handling and precision. In a sporty, dynamic style of driving, front-wheel drive actions precisely adapted to the driving situation intervene to improve stability and traction. The optional Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) makes this excellent dynamic performance even sportier.
Powered by Audi’s 4.2-litre eight-cylinder diesel engine with biturbo charging, the Cayenne S Diesel delivers 382 hp and offers a maximum torque of 850 Newton metres. With these numbers, the SUV hits 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds and has a top speed of 252 km/h. Despite these performances, the Cayenne S Diesel remains a fuel-efficient SUV with NEDC fuel consumption of just 8.3 litres per 100 km. This means this vehicle has a total range of about 1,200 km. The look of the 2013 Porsche Cayenne S Diesel has the same features of eight-cylinder versions. Moreover, the brake system has been sized to handle the car’s power output, and it is identified by its silver brake callipers. The front end features black fins. The model badge at the rear identifies it as a Cayenne S.
