2011 Porsche Cayenne pics

New Cayenne will be much more compact, lighter and fuel efficient compared to the current model. Just as with the current model both V6 and V8 gasoline engines will be offered, plus Audi sourced 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel.

New addition to the line-up will be a hybrid model featuring a V6 engine with around 330 hp and an electric motor with 45 hp.

To me it looks a lot smaller, maybe it is because of the rounder design. Can't wait to see the undisguised lights, that will give it a final touch and we can tell how bad or good it looks.

more pics here.

Is there no greenpeace section on boards?? If not you can at least take yourself to the English section.

Thats a shocker. How have they made it look even worse than before!!! Always a car for the tiny penis brigade but there really is no excuse for buying one now ....except if you're a total pratt Rotten

Lord Nikon

It needs bigger alloys and I'd have one

The white doesn't flatter it - it looks like it's missing the Nike logo on the side and some laces up the front.

Absurdum

Looks far too small now, it needs a lot more presence.

Ugly stick has been wielded again. Can look ok on the right wheels but it's still a toerag underneath and that isn't on in the price range this in placed in.

It reminds me somewhat of the facelifted s-class coming our way, i.e. slapping on some LED headlights counts as a new design.

I think the Cayenne needed a complete design direction change. I'm not a fan of the "911 but taller" design, in the same way i am not a fan of the "911 but longer" panamera. Originality please!

Having said that, I don't really care, if I had the money to buy a porsche then it would clearly only be a Carrera 4S. If I needed space or practicality, I wouldn't buy a Porsche.

EDIT: The hind quarters and C-Pillar design remind me somewhat of the lexus RX.

Porsche have tried and failed at originality. In the past they tried to redesign the 911. It didn't work. The have found that sticking with the 911 design works.

The back of the new design seems to be based on the 911 and Pananmera(SP?).

This car is more Porsche than the last. Hopefully the VW version will be different. Porsche could easily be the best luxury 4x4 for the rich. I think this car will be a huge success.

EDIT: Just reviewing the pictures, this is so a 911 on stilts.

A diesel option as well? I thought porsche said they would never have a diesel and that a hybrid was the only compromise.

Looks like their financial situation has forced them to reconsider.

@kikel: side view is possibly the worst aspect for the cayenne. Though I think the apparently shorter wheelbase makes it look a bit more sporty and compact compared with the original, which was just a train of flat panels:

Far to much jealously on here, the Subaru Impretza is a horrific looking car but at the heads here love it (and rightly so as its an excellent machine) Yet because the Cayenne has a Porsche badge and costs a lot of money people like to sneer.

If you've actually driven the Turbo S you'd have very quickly realised that there is a hell of a lot more to them than a badge. A savage machine, pure animal.

And unlike all the other SUVs its superb in serious offroad conditions.

Its a stunning bit of engineering, I wish I could afford to buy one.

I'd rather buy a 911 then that thing... Sinfully ugly...

So... who is that heap of c-p dedicated to? If you want to get an off-roader, a 40-year old Land Rover would be a lot better (never mind the price), if you need the space, then a good estate is the way to go and if you need a sports car, you would buy a sports car then...

ddarraghh

footballers wives

fools

and fashion victims

what do porsch no about front mounted engines and off roaders

Why i agree with the above regarding the side view, the side view of the new model is so much better. Its very lexus from this angle
