Cayenne’s new electric heart
PORSCHE LAUNCHED the third generation Cayenne in India with prices starting from Rs 1.19 crore for the standard, and going up till Rs 1.58 crore for the e-Hybrid and Rs 1.92 crore for the Turbo. The Cayenne gets a revised chassis and a separated link design for the front axle and a multilink rear axle, which is optional. The design is evolved and gets a sharper look while maintaining the traditional attire. It gets LED Matrix Beam headlights, which also includes Porsche Dynamic Light System, which really gives the Cayenne an aggressive look. Power to the Cayenne comes from a range of V6 and V8 engines. The standard version gets 3.0-litre single-turbo V6 with 335bhp and 450Nm, while the Cayenne S draws power from a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 that produces 433bhp and 550Nm of torque. The Turbo packs in 542bhp and 770Nm from a 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 engine, with a top speed of 286kmph.
