Porsche Cayenne Hybrid

Porsche recently unveiled early drafts of its Cayenne SUV hybrid prototype. The SUV, which will debut towards 2010, aims to decrease fuel consumption by an estimated 25 percent, especially during city driving. The Cayenne Hybrid will feature electric-powered steering, air conditioning and vacuum pumps for the brakes. Porsche officials also report they plan to introduce a hybrid version of its upcoming Panamera four-door Gran Turismo, scheduled to debut in 2009.

who told you that a hybrid is slow? acceleration could be even higher, because electrical motors produce full torque at any rpm

[Fransais]

no no no no no no, please dear god no dont ruin sports cars with hybrid bullshit

@NAMkiller I have not drove it my self, i was in the sit place...

and i drove honda civic 2009 hybride. and it is slow.. every 2 sec the engine is starting and shut down..

and the shut down up wasting fuel.. you must be misunderstanding how hybride engine works..

It is accelerate with fuel engine and after the batteries are charged it will shut down and switch to electric engine.and will drive till its dead and switch back to fuel engine..

dunno maybe i am wrong..

@VoLtrex31 I don't think you understand how cars work. There is an acceleration pedal. That pedal is not a switch, it is attached to a cord which will allow variable amounts of power to be used. It varies from 0-100%. Of course if you put the pedal all the way down it will use a lot of power but you do not have to. Don't worry, you will not be burned if you put your foot down. You have clearly never driven an electric car as they are actually very powerful. Now you actually know something.

@Fransais SPORTS CAR ARE OTHERS THEN PORSCHE CAYENNE AND YOU TALK ABOUT HIBRID 'BULLSHIT' WHEN YOU DONT KNOW EVEN THE CLASS OF A CAR

[VoLtrex31]

@G0nny I drove it LoL. and it is very slow.

cause the electric power can not produce all at once or you will be burned or your

car will waste it all on the acceleration and you will get nothing left for drive with,.

basically you will accelerate with fuel but after that you'll be driving an electric motor.

[s2000q8]

it won't be like the LS600h believe me. It will be faster and more economical.

[Trondheim18]

How much are these gonna be?

[Dobymania]

diesel is worst. It stays 200 years in the atmosphere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dobymania]

they already made a diesel version

[TheChiefEngineer]

That's incorrect.

[G0nny]

Yes, but: The electrical motor HELPS the petrol engine when accelerating. So its giving extra torque (full torque from the very beginning) until the engine reaches 2000rpm. The battery is reloading while decelerating. But -you are right- top speed is lower.
