Anyone know when this will happen? Heard rumours of a 300+ bhp diesel.

2013 model year, i.e late summer next year?

A total guess would be a more power full diesel mid 2013, cant see a face lift coming though

The current model may have just 245bhp, for me more than enough for UK roads

Strong rumours suggest that the introduction of the S version of the diesel with the 300 bhp engine may be delayed. Sales of the current diesel model are so strong, especially in Germany, that it isn't needed as yet to keep sales going.

The petrol engined Cayenne GTS is coming in Spring next year with somewhere in the range of 420-440 bhp.

VAG have developed a twin turbo diesel giving around 300ps, it's just been released in the new A6 so I guess Porsche will get their hands on it soon.

BMW appear to be selling 30d and 40d variants of the X5 in enough volumes, so such an arrangement can exist.

Porsche would also likely benefit from 2 variants of the diesel engine available at the same time. I am waiting for details of the new diesel to be released in terms of dates, I am hopeful it will not be a long wait.

inside knowledge seems to suggest a more powerful diesel sooner rather than later
and no facelift for the time being
