Begawan - QAF Eurokars Sdn Bhd yesterday held a soft launch
to unveil the new generation of Porsche SUVs the new Cayenne,
Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo at the Porsche showroom in Beribi.
Guaranteed to turn heads, the new
generation' of Porsche Cayenne has been refined and is more agile -
from the wholly improved front section with larger air intakes and
sturdy contoured wheel arches, to the dynamic rear section boasting
a diffuser style rear apron and new roof spoiler design.
The latest Cayenne models are
powered by a new generation of V type engines with an increased
cubic capacity offering greater power, more torque and better fuel
efficiency. All three models are equipped with a new evolution of
Porsche Stability Management (PSM), an electronic active system that
automatically stabilises the car in critical road scenarios.
The new Cayenne has a 3.6-litre V6
engine with electronic engine management MED 9.1, which combined
with the advantages of direct fuel injection, delivers 290 bhp
(213kW).
Additionally the torgue of the
engine has climbed to 385 Newton metres. Meanwhile, the new Cayenne
S now features a larger 4.8-litre, naturally-aspirated V8 engine
with electronic management MED 9.1, which produces 500 Newton metres
of torgue and power output rises to 385bhp (283kW).
On the other hand, the performance
figures for the new Cayenne Turbo are impressive with an engine
output of 500 bhp (368kW).
The new 4.8 litre eight-cylinder
engine is boosted by twin exhaust-driven turbochargers and produces
700 Newton metres of torgue.
The standard safety features for
this new generation of Porsche Cayenne includes a-six-piston front,
four-piston rear monobloc aluminium fixed brake calipers; internally
ventilated brake discs; three-point seat belts on all seats -
including belt tensioners on the outer rear seats; immobiliser;
alarm system - including interior surveillance; and a tilt sensor.
The new Cayenne, the new Cayenne S
and the new Cayenne Turbo, are three unique expressions of the power
of `Momentum,' the product of mass multiplied' by velocity.-- Courtesy of Borneo
