A diesel engine and competitive price: and we’re still talking about a Porsche. In fact, to be precise, about a Cayenne - because the real cars from this company are different. Moving on from tradition and its roots, the Zuffenhausen company has set for the next Geneva show (March 2009), the occasion where it will reveal the first Porsche diesel offering.
According to Automative News Europe, the debut was planned for January, but given the Boxster facelift may have created a battle for the camera flashes, the decision has been made to postpone the presentation.
The 3.0, 240hp from Audi is in no hurry to house itself under the Cayenne’s bonnet, a car which should sell for around 55,000 euros with a V6 3.6 petrol. Unfortunately the consumption is the only thing sullying the Porsche image, at 9.9 litres a kilometre.
