The New 2011 V8-Powered Cayennes Begin Arriving at Porsche of Naples

June 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Naples, FL,  – Porsche of Naples announced that the highly anticipated, all-new 2011 Porsche Cayenne is arriving and will go on sale officially this month. The new Cayenne is all-new from the inside out and offers more power and room combined with even more fuel efficiency.

The Cayenne SUV model line, which was originally launched in the U.S. in 2003, has enjoyed phenomenal popular success, becoming the German sports car maker’s number-one selling vehicle. Since its initial debut, Porsche has sold more than 280,000 Cayennes worldwide, with more than 88,000 being delivered in the United States through May 2010.

The 2011 Cayenne is truly a completely redesigned model sporting a new exterior design that appears sleeker and smaller when in fact the car is larger than the previous model. Most importantly, the new Cayenne is instantly recognizable as a Porsche.

Inside the Cayenne, the new spacious interior raises the luxury bar and puts it on par with the award-winning interior found in the highly-acclaimed Panamera Gran Turismo.  For example in the back there is considerably more interior space for the rear passengers thanks to a longer wheelbase; the seats themselves even adjust fore and aft with seat-back incline positions

“The new Cayenne is truly remarkable. Not only is it bigger and faster it also more fuel efficient, primarily due to the car’s significant weight savings of some 400 pounds,” said John Harris, operating partner at Porsche of Naples. “The fact that Porsche was able to accomplish this feat is a testament to Porsche’s engineering excellence.”

Other significant upgrades include:

•   A new active all-wheel drive system that can be paired with Porsche’s new Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) Plus option to provide agile on-road driving dynamics, yet it’s still extremely capable when the pavement ends;
•   New high-end audio systems from Bose® and Burmester® and new safety systems like the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), Lane Change Assistant (LCA), and Adaptive Cruise Control.

The North American Cayenne model range will ultimately include four models: the 2011 Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid and Cayenne Turbo. The S and Turbo models are available beginning now, with the Cayenne and Cayenne S Hybrid in dealer showrooms later this fall. The Cayenne model lineup MSRPs (excluding destination charges) are as follows: Cayenne, $46,700; Cayenne S, $63,700; Cayenne S Hybrid, $67,700; and Cayenne Turbo, $104,800.

Engines include a 3.6-liter, 300-horsepower V6 with Direct Fuel Injection, a 4.8 liter 400-horsepower with Direct Fuel Injection, and a 500-horsepower twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 in the Cayenne Turbo. Significantly, for the first time ever, the Cayenne will also offer a hybrid. As you would expect from a Porsche, with the Cayenne’s combined power output of 380 horsepower from a supercharged V6 combustion engine and an electric motor, Porsche’s first production hybrid combines the sporty performance of a V8 with the economy of a V6.

The official Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo EPA fuel economy figures are 16 mpg city/22 highway and 15 city/22 highway, respectively. Cayenne and Cayenne S Hybrid fuel economy ratings will be announced shortly before they come to market in the fall. None are subject to a gas-guzzler tax.
