2019 Porsche Cayenne Release Date, Turbo, Hybrid
Cayenne crossover had a rough start. About 15 years ago predecessors of the 2019 Porsche Cayenne should be SUV-version of the iconic 911 roadster. However, it didn鈥檛 go well. Too stiff, the sporty suspension is not what a driver of crossover needs. Also, the styling borrowed from 911 looked more like a caricature than as aggressive as it should be. However, thanks to name, reputation, and good marketing Porsche had good results on the market. The second generation brought a lot of improvements and established an SUV as one of the top models. Now, 2019 Cayenne is about to present something new. Improvements of suspension, drivetrain, aerodynamic, will bring much better driving impression. With it, Porsche will get a true successor of 911 in SUV segment. The new 2019 Porsche Cayenne could be an interesting model, but all their fans can鈥檛 wait to see a Turbo version. More power, more equipment, and luxurious interior are making this model a dream vehicle.
As always, unique details will make it too expensive for most enthusiasts. Nevertheless, there are other performance-boosted variants. New Cayenne will come in GTS variant, a lighter version than Turbo. This trim was a part of the last edition, and it will be again a mid-range crossover in the entire Cayenne lineup. Entry-level units are coming followed with S models. The 2019 Porsche Cayenne will continue to use a hybrid drivetrain. In 2014 this crossover became the first ever luxurious SUV to get a plug-in drivetrain. Then, it could go between 18 and 36 mpg by using only electric batteries. Combined with a conventional drivetrain, Porsche Cayenne had 47 mpg-e rating. The base powertrain of the 2019 Porsche Cayenne will be a 3.6-l V-6 engine. This unit is good for 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. The S model is using the same drivetrain, but with boosters. A twin-turbo system will add at least 120 horses and 80 pound-feet to torque.
Even more, power comes from the same engine for GTS. A V-8 engine is coming with Turbo and Turbo S versions. The last one is capable to deliver 560 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. The 2019 Cayenne will have two diesel engines in the lineup. The base model is using a 3.0-l V-6 with an output of 260 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. Top of this range is Cayenne S Diesel with the V-8 unit. The German carmaker is not going to launch all versions at once. Slowly, starting from the base unit, other will appear. We believe we will see first appearing already in initial months of 2018. Of course, Turbo, Turbo S, and Hybrid will come at the end. 60,000. It is already high price although this is a luxurious model. 150,000. The hybrid model is coming at a reasonable cost if we have at mind initial price.
The 918 Spyder concept combines high-tech racing features with electric-mobility to offer a fascinating range of qualities. The 918 Spyder is one of three Porsche models with hybrid drive making their world debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The highly-innovative 918 Spyder concept car combines Porschei虂s Intelligent Performance philosophy with the high-technology from motorsport, with classic but modern design to make a truly convincing statement. Power is transmitted to the wheels by a seven-speed Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) transmission that feeds the power of the electric drive system to the rear axle. The front-wheel electric drive powers the wheels through a fixed transmission ratio. The energy reservoir is a fluid-cooled lithium-ion battery positioned behind the passenger cell. The big advantage of a plug-in hybrid is that the battery can be charged on the regular electrical network. A further point is that the cari虂s kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy fed into the battery when applying the brakes, thus providing additional energy for fast and dynamic acceleration.
A button on the steering wheel allows the driver to choose among four different running modes: The E-Drive mode is for running the car under electric power alone, with a range of up to 25 km or 16 miles. In the Hybrid mode, the 918 Spyder uses both the electric motors and the combustion engine as a function of driving conditions and requirements, offering a range from particularly fuel-efficient all the way to extra-powerful. The Sport Hybrid mode uses both drive systems, but with the focus on performance. Most of the drive power goes to the rear wheels, with Torque Vectoring serving to additionally improve the cari虂s driving dynamics. In the Race Hybrid mode the drive systems are focused on pure performance with the highest standard of driving dynamics on the track, running at the limit to their power and dynamic output. With the battery sufficiently charged, a push-to-pass button feeds in additional electrical power (E-Boost), when overtaking or for even better performance.
