Porsche´s upcoming 2011 Cayenne SUV has once again been spotted. This time undergoing testing in Sweden. And like before, the camouflage is almost completely removed.
While we can't say for sure what model is being tested in these shots - we guess for the Cayenne S -, the new Cayenne should boast a variety of petrol, diesel and hybrid engines. On the petrol side, we can expect the 2011 Cayenne S to come with the Panamera's 4.8-liter V8 engine that develops 400 hp while the top-of-the-line Cayenne Turbo should be powered by the 4.8-liter biturbo V8 engine from the Panamera Turbo that cranks out 500 hp. In diesel models, expect the current Volkswagen V6 TDI engine which produces 240 hp and 550 Nm of torque to carry over to the next generation with some minor improvements.
Hybrid
Considering that Porsche's first Cayenne S hybrid will appear as a 2010 model, its hybrid powertrain should carry over to the 2011 Cayenne virtually unchanged. Power for the hybrid comes from Audi's supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 333 horsepower, and it is connected to a three-phase synchronous electric motor which receives power from a 38 kW NiMH battery that resides in the spare tire well.
