2011 New Porsche Cayenne – Test Drive
2011 New Porsche Cayenne, The biggest hits with the original Cayenne was, first, it was an SUV, which many critics and fans took the famous sports car manufacturer Porsche has ever built, and secondly, was deficient in the DNA of Porsche. Undoubtedly, the first generation, Porsche has sold about 90,000 in the United States since its inception in 2003, was – and remains – a capable SUV, either inside or outside of the road.
Base V6 all the way to the bi – turbo V8, the Cayenne 2003 – 10 stood at or near the top of its category in building and, most striking and dynamic. However, auto analysts, including us, and the faithful who bites in Stuttgart Porsche SUV was lost, so Porscheness – even though the Cayenne was a big heavy sport/ute, it is also known through a 911 or even the new Panamera, either in sensation or perception.
After walking three of the U.S. forced four Cayenne 2011 in and around the grounds of the beautiful Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama – including the road course of 2.4 kilometers and a very entertaining technology – we are happy to announce that the sport’s second – generation Porsche/utility has Porscheness true. Of course, it is always the highest of heavy vehicles and programming – depending on the model, the height decreases from 0.3 to 0.5 inches and weight is down to 400 pounds – but the feeling of driving, mostly now part of belie its classification SUV. The Cayenne feel – and are – faster, more agile and more exciting to drive. It is also more exciting to watch, thanks to the cover sheet on a wheelbase 1.6 inches longer remoulded. The bonnet now has a dome with a similar power over the Panamera and shoulders are more pronounced, giving a muscle, fast – forward position.
The above weight loss comes from the extensive use of aluminum doors, hood and chassis and a new electronically controlled multi – plate clutch plate in four – wheel drive system, in collaboration with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and a new eight – speed Aisin automatic, but no equipment, saving £ 73. In addition, the engines are lighter, and the radiator, exhaust system, parking brake (now electronic), electrical systems, wheels and tires. Better yet, the structure of feathers Cayenne is 15 percent stiffer than before. This weight loss found in part, contributes to a maximum increase of 23 percent in fuel consumption test, according to Porsche. Other factors include the rescue of the gasoline engine management and better thermal and Auto Start/Stop (cut the engine when the vehicle is stopped) with eight – speed technology, which debuted in the Panamera.
Power for the hybrid Cayenne Turbo S comes from Audi’s 3.0 – liter V6 producing 333 horsepower, connected to a three – phase synchronous electric motor which is powered by a 38 kW NiMH battery pack that resides in the spare wheel. The electric motor adds another to 47.
The Cayenne hybrid can travel up to 40 miles per hour on all electric power, with the system that allows the complete separation of the gas engine transmission at speeds up to 97 kilometers per hour. Separation can freewheel it, which reduces friction and improves overall efficiency. Although fuel economy has never been a strong point for the Cayenne, Porsche has significantly improved fuel efficiency across the range of the new generation. The base Cayenne has reached 15 mpg city, 22 highway with six – speed manual transmission and 16 city, 23 highway with eight – speed automatic Tiptronic S.
From a reading of the new Cayenne (except Turbo) is a standard steel spring suspension system, but it is the first time available in the Porsche Active Suspension Management or PASM. PASM is an advanced suspension system that allows infinite control of dampers and front and rear axles, and a choice of three settings: Comfort, Normal and Sport.Base level Porsche Cayenne enters the market with a U.S. MSRP of $46.700. Moves up to mid – level Cayenne S will set buyers back $63,700, with fuel – efficient hybrid Cayenne S Price $67.700. The range – topping Cayenne Turbo model is set at an MSRP of $104.800. Do not allow lines of elegant, sporty fool you though – the Cayenne is still a workhorse. Towing capacity tops out at 5,952 pounds for the V6 and £ 7.716 for all other models.
