Porsche to Utilize Diesel in 2009
Porsche has said it will introduce a diesel-powered vehicle into the European market in 2009, according to Automotive News Europe.
It’s reported that Porsche will, likely, take the diesel engine directly from Volkswagen and drop it into its Cayenne SUV. However, a Porsche spokesman said the option is still under discussion internally and a final decision has not been made.
Porsche will also introduce a hybrid model of the Cayenne in 2010. The spokesman said that depending on technology advancements, other models may see lithium-ion battery-powered hybrids in the future. As of now, li-ion battery packs are too big to fit into a Porsche sports car.
