Cayenne [Official] Porsche Cayenne gets V8 Twin-turbo Diesel Engine

[mini_cooper4]

That's right 1HP more than a 6 cylinder engine.
I think here is a case of less-is-more.

Someone chose the easy path I guess

^ but there are significant differences in output beneath the badge. I'm very curious about what separates the brand's equity, if there is any separation beneath the skin and of course, suspension, handling and interior.

I think the difference is the Cayenne Diesel S is getting the latest spec which hasn't been released to Audi cars as yet, I believe the A8 is due to receive this version soon.

Cool thanks. But do you know what changes have been made to the engine? Does anyone know how old this engine is or when it was last revised?

Sorry JLBM. Don't know what's the story just yet. I'd be surprised if this amounted to anything more than higher injection pressures and revised engine mapping.

Thanks Martin. I'm not complaining though, power and torque are great, the car itself is light and apparently it sounds great!

Looks to be about 22-23 seconds from 0-200km/h and in auto mode.
