Porsche, aware of the growing environmental lobby, have unveiled a prototype Cayenne with hybrid drive. Its not expected to be on sale until 2009 but obviously Porsche want everybody to know that it can be responsible as a car manufacturer. The car has the 3.6 litre V6 engine, showing that the main focus is on saving fuel rather than performance, however because of the torque boost from the electric motor it is faster than most V6's. Porsche haven't released figures yet but for cars in this class you would expect a 0-62mph of about 8 seconds. Fuel economy should be about 25% better relating to 29mpg combined cycle.
