Three days only: Porsche Cayenne Diesel
Porsche Australia will display its new Cayenne Diesel for the first three days only of the Melbourne Motor Show, which opens at 5pm on Friday 27 February.
The Cayenne Diesel has been introduced in response to strong local inquiry, and will share the Porsche stand with the second generation Cayman and Boxster.
It will appear at the Motor Show from 5 pm to 10 pm on the opening Friday, then from 10 am to 10 pm on Saturday and Sunday until 1 March.
Porsche has equipped the Cayenne Diesel with a 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel engine producing 176 kW of power and 550 Nm of torque.
In line with Porsche’s commitment to reducing fuel consumption across its range of sports cars, the average fuel consumption of the Cayenne Diesel is 9.3 litres per 100 km, with CO2 emissions of 244 grams per kilojoule.
The new Cayenne Diesel will go on sale in Australia in April 2009, priced from $101,990 with Tiptronic transmission as standard.
Also be making their Australian debut are the second generation Cayman and Boxster, offering an impressive combination of more power for less fuel, with all-new engines, more power, improved fuel efficiency and the introduction of Porsche’s acclaimed double-clutch gearbox.
Now displacing 2.9litres, the newly developed flat six-cylinder engine develops 188 kW in the entry level Boxster and 195 kW in the entry level Cayman, an increase of 8 kW and 15 kW respectively over the preceding 2.7 litre engine models.
New Cayman and Boxster models are due to go on sale in March this year.
Melbourne International Motor Show runs from 27 February to 9 March at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, and is organised and promoted by the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce through its dealer division the Australian Automobile Dealers Association (Vic).
