We recently drove the new 2013 Porsche Cayenne Diesel - the automaker’s first oil-burning offering here in the States. But here in Paris, Porsche has pulled the wraps off of a more powerful version of the diesel Cayenne, and on paper, it sure looks sweet.
The meat and potatoes of the Cayenne S Diesel package is a twin-turbocharged 4.2-liter diesel V8 that produces 382 horsepower and 627(!) pound-feet of torque. Having that much grunt on tap means the all-wheel-drive Cayenne will shoot to 62 miles per hour in a scant 5.7 seconds, topping out at 157 mph. Even more remarkably, when you aren’t driving with a lead foot, the S Diesel will return around 28 miles per gallon. Impressive stuff.
Porsche officials have told Autoblog that we won’t be getting the Cayenne S Diesel here in the United States, meaning we’ll have to make due with the 240-hp 3.0-liter oil-burner. Not that that’s a bad thing. Scroll down for the official release.Continue reading Porsche unveils more powerful Cayenne S Diesel
