However, Ford wanted Jaguar too. GM was ready to take a 30 per cent share. It already owned Lotus and had been talking to Vickers about taking 40 per cent in Rolls Royce in 1991 in an effort to pre-empt BMW. 2.5 billion) for Jaguar, and quickly learning the extent to which its new purchase was burdened with high costs and out of date plant. Jaguar entered the century old motor industry at barely one third of its span, and with graceful styling, superior ride and handling, high performance, and world-class sporting fame became one of Britain's cherished symbols. The XK8, the car that marked the second watershed in Jaguar history some 50 years after the first, was emblematic of the new perspective at Jaguar. On 1st January 2008, Ford made a formal announcement, which declared Tata Motors as the preferred bidder for Jaguar, and on 26 March 2008 announced that it had agreed to sell Jaguar and Land Rover to Tata Motors of India. Included in the deal were Daimler, and two dormant brands Lanchester and Rover. The sale completed on 2 June 2008 for 1.7 billion pounds.
Porsche鈥檚 polarizing Cayenne SUV is set to debut in second generation form. This revision is from the ground up and corrects what were many of the previous generation鈥檚 faults. In realizing the Cayenne should have more of an on-road bias, the reduction in off-road mechanical bits has helped the engineers shave a few hundred pounds from the previous model. Less weight equals better performance and improved fuel efficiency. All this despite a slight increase in both length and width over the previous model. Another point of dissatisfaction was the Cayenne鈥檚 design. Fortunately both the exterior and interior appear to have been greatly improved. The outside aesthetic reveals a sleeker SUV with more sporting intentions, befitting of a Porsche. The interior is vastly improved as well, with many design cues coming from the recently introduced Panamera sedan. Being that we are talking about a Porsche, it鈥檚 time to chat about powerplants. There will be four engine options on the new edition. The 鈥渆ntry-level鈥?Cayenne gets a 300-hp V6 which will get you to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds according to the manufacturer. The Cayenne S model ups the ante with a V8 producing 400-hp. The speed fiends among you will appreciate the Cayenne Turbo, a twin-turbocharged V8 good for 500 raging horsepower. The final option is for the greenies out there鈥?a hybrid that touts a 333-hp supercharged V6 engine along with a 47-hp electric motor. Performance is said to be on par with the Cayenne S. Mileage figures for the model range have not been released as of this writing. All-in-all I really like the work of the team at Zuffenhausen. You will see the new Cayenne in showrooms in July, with the exception being the hybrid which has an expected fall arrival.
As Porsche's first entry into the sports utility vehicle market, the Porsche Cayenne has seen very little changes over the last five years. The company sees the new 2008 Porsche Cayenne as a second generation vehicle due the changes that have been made to it. The vehicle displays brand new styling with the front lights now flatter and more to the corners, and grouped below a single clear lens. The snout of the vehicle is now tighter and smoothed. The front of the vehicle resembles a Porsche Boxster. The Cayenne's also has changes to its wheel wells and there are new shaped fender flares. There are changes to the mirrors which have been pulled in a bit and the external spoilers are now cut to a smaller size. These changes have caused the vehicles drag coefficient to be reduced drastically, moving from 0.39 to 0.35, and this will greatly aid fuel economy and efficiency, and noise reduction.
The Porsche Cayenne S and turbo are fitted with 18 inch wheels and the new Cayenne GTS with 21 inch wheels, whereas the base Cayenne has 17 inch wheels standard. The engines of the Porsche Cayenne's different variations feature a high pressure fuel management system that uses direct injection. This system is said to offer a reduction in the consumption of fuel. The base Cayenne has a 3.6 liter, narrow angle V6 engine with 290 horsepower. The Cayenne S has a 4.8 liter V8 engine that gives 385 horsepower. The Cayenne Turbo boasts a twin turbo V8 engine giving 500 horsepower. The Cayenne GTS has V8 engine that produces 405 horsepower. The Porsche Cayenne Turbo powers through 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds, the V6 Cayenne does it in 7.5 seconds reaching speeds of over 140 mph. The cayenne GTS will get to 60 mph in just under 6 seconds attaining speed of just under 160 mph. The latest Cayenne models can all be had with a six speed transmission both manual and automatic. Mileage rating is expected to improve to 15 percent. The new model will come with a body control suspension as an option, and the Dynamic Chassis Control employs anti roll bars to counter body roll and makes handling better. As basic features the Porsche Cayenne comes with bi-xenon headlights and a partition net and rail system as part of the cargo compartment floor. There is however limited cargo space. The safety equipment is also standard and includes skid control, airbags, and roll over sensors.
