Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Debuts With 670 HP


Porsche has introduced the new Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid and Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe.

Set to arrive in the United States early next year, the models have a plug-in hybrid powertrain that features a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces 541 hp (403 kW / 548 PS). It’s backed up by an electric motor that develops an additional 134 hp (100 kW / 136 PS). This enables the crossovers to have a combined output of 670 hp (550 kW / 679 PS) and 663 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque.


The electric motor is powered by a 14.1 kWh lithium-ion battery and is sandwiched between the V8 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. This setup enables the two motors to work together or independently. When the electric motor is doing all the work, the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid can travel up to 24.8 miles (40 km) on electricity alone.

In terms of performance, the crossovers can accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.6 seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 183 mph (295 km/h).


On the styling front, the models are distinguished by Acid Green accents and 21-inch AeroDesign wheels. They also have body colored wheel arch extensions.

For the US market, the Cayennes will come nicely equipped with the Sport Chrono Package and ceramic composite brakes. Other highlights include 18-way power adjustable adaptive sport seats, Porsche torque vectoring plus and Porsche dynamic chassis control.


An assortment of options will be available including a Lightweight Sport Package. It includes the Sport Design Package, a carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber exterior accents and 22-inch GT Design wheels. Inside, there’s an Alcantara-wrapped sport steering wheel, carbon fiber trim and two-tone Houndstooth seat centers. Two versions of the package will be available and they save up to 48 lbs (22 kg) of weight.

Unfortunately, the crossovers don’t come cheap as the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid will be priced from $161,900 in the United States. The Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe will retail for $2,500 more.


Besides introducing the two high-performance models, Porsche also announced the Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe. It features a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine and an electric motor that work together to produce a combined output of 455 hp (339 kW / 461 PS) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque.

This enables the crossover to run from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 157 mph (253 km/h). More importantly, the model has an electric-only range of up to 26.7 miles (43 km).


The 2020 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe will be priced from $86,400 and it comes equipped with eight-way power front sport seats, a panoramic glass roof and 20-inch wheels.

Note: Prices exclude a $1,350 processing, delivery and handling fee

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as ...

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel...

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu...
