The idea of a hybrid version of the first Porsche Cayenne appeared well over a year ago, but now things seem to be firmly in place. At Melbourne Auto show this week, Porsche's Australian managing director Michael Winkler revealed that a hybrid Cayenne is hitting the streets in 2009 and it will be available in Australia. Winkler also said that the system is designed to work with an engine for the Cayenne range, rather than being limited to one. This means a hybrid Cayenne Turbo came with the V-6 and NA V-8 models. The hybrid will be coupled with all-wheel drive system and will not be offered in all other models, but if it were, the Panamera seems a likely candidate, especially given the DCX / BMW hybrid announcement yesterday.

Many Porsche enthusiasts are unfortunate with the company for producing this merry looking SUV and see it as diluting the meaning of the mark. According to wheels a good-regarded Australian automagazine, the decision, was to the Cayenne peppers to develop a contentious for the company for this reason. Management felt allegedly however that the company a more reliable source of the income than the inconsistant sport automarket needed. Much disapproving of the Porsche owners come from the common development of the car with Volkswagen. Although the Cayenne pepper and Touareg are firm SUVs in the market today, many believe that the Cayenne pepper would be superior in many departments, if it develops only by Porsche. Some it believe that the Touareg is a better accomplished car, which is present for substantially fewer moneys. British driving journalist Jeremy Clarkson set it: „It is not a bad car and in various regard is it a very good, but straight there no white spirits camp the objective defeated, do such a Porsche off more roader. Can you present jeeps you, producing a rear engined sport car? Exactly “.
