Porsche Readying V-8 Cayenne S Diesel
Porsche's diesel SUV gets 2 more cylinders, US customers don't get to share in the torquey fun.

According to the folks at Car & Driver, Porsche is getting ready to produce another Diesel variant of the Cayenne, this time based on the "S", that will feature a V-8 engine with an output that should "far exceed" the Cayenne Diesel's 3.0-liter V6 that develops 245 PS (180 kW / 242 bhp) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque. North American buyer's don't get your hopes up as this is expected to be offered exclusively in Europe. Rumors suggest one possible engine candidate to be used is Audi's 4.2-liter TDI which produces 350 PS (258 kW / 345 hp) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque.

As Always stay tuned for more! Thanks to Worldcarfans for the Tip!

 

Real nice

 

Nice, indeed. Thanks for sharing, DJ.

Too bad it'll probably never come to the US.

 

I'll take it. Sign my up.

Friend of mine has the Audi 4,2 V8 TDI in his A8. This Porsche will be so great

 

I like it!

But the latest development def show the influence of VW

a lot of parallels to the Touareg!

 

that Touareg is quite a machine.....tough decision between the two

 

I hope this is true. I have the V6 Diesel Cayenne as my daily driver and it's brilliant. However a V8 would be very welcome...

Just put my money down on a Macan too - though there's a big caveat depending on final looks and engine/performance options though. Needs to be fun to drive each day, look good and be able to tow my classic 911!

 

Unless you have a place to spend your vacations in Europe you'll have to move to get one of these ....and I guess they won't be THAT great. Europe only unfortunately :/

 

Hopes and dreams shattered
