More Porsche Models To Be Unveiled In
Geneva
As if unveiling the mighty sounding Porsche
997 GT3 R Hybrid race car at the Geneva Motor Show this month
wasn’t enough for Porsche lovers, they will also be revealing two
more models at the prestigious show. The new sporty 911 Turbo S and
the energy conscious Cayenne S Hybrid will both make their debuts
at the show which begins on the 4th March.
The gorgeous new 196mph 911 Turbo S has a
30bhp increase in power on the standard 911 Turbo up to a mighty
530bhp and boasts an acceleration time of 0-62mph in just 3.3
seconds. Despite the power increase it maintains the same EU
combined fuel consumption as the standard Turbo of 24.8mpg and
produces 516lb ft of torque. It has the traditional 6
cylinder boxer engine but is boosted by 2 turbochargers. It also
has a 7 speed gearbox and double clutch transmission with steering
wheel paddle shift control. Looks-wise the Turbo S will be fitted
with centre-lock 19 inch RS Spyder alloy wheels, leather sports
seats and cruise control. The coupe goes on sale in the UK in May
with a price tag of £123,263. At the same time, a Cabriolet version
will also be released with a price of £130,791.
The new Cayenne S Hybrid has been developed
in conjunction with the VW Touareg Hybrid and features Audi’s 3
litre V6 supercharged 325bhp petrol engine. This is
complemented with a 38kW electric motor giving a combined bhp
of 375. The Cayenne Hybrid boasts 0-62mph in just 6.5 seconds
whilst still delivering an impressive 34.5mpg. Despite the smaller
3 litre engine, the Cayenne S Hybrid produces just 20bhp less power
than the Cayenne S 4.8 litre V8 model. It also goes on sale to UK
customers in May.
