Surely your local OPC would have the info???

Plus whether its something worth waiting for and maybe an opinion on performance difference and resale values.

It will be faster and depreciate the same as the current Diesel.

Will that do?

The new Cajun is getting a 309bhp V6 twin turbo diesel. You would at least expect similar power for the Cayenne.

I'd be very surprised if this happened before 2014.

Aren't the current Cayenne Diesels going for well over list, even with mileage?

Even OPC cars are expensive...:

I think whilst the diesel is still in high demand and selling like hot-cakes, Porsche will not be in any rush to 'fix what aint broke. But, rumours are that Porsche will introduce a more powerful 'Diesel S' with the bi-turbo 313hp Audi unit. Other rumours suggest the current diesel will be increased to approx 280hp.

My feeling is Porsche will introduce an all-new 'hot' diesel model, called the Diesel 'S'. It makes sense - the 245hp version is more than adequate for most, and will continue to be the 'bread and butter model, whilst a 'hot' version will also appeal to those wishing the regular diesel had a bit more oompf - like BMW's X5 40d.

Porsche seem set on constantly introducing and changing models atm, so i wouldn't be surprised if we hear something soon. They certainly have the engines, and the slot in the Cayenne line-up to introduce it

Should be announced at the Geneva show, in order to take the sting out of the game changer, the new Range Rover.

Hi - i cant remember where, but i read a couple of days back that VW have a twin-turbo 3.0 litre diesel coming out and it will be in the Cayenne.

I have a cayenne diesel on order for march delivery but i am not locked in yet - if this new engine is imminent, i might hold off and wait for it.

Can anyone help on this?

I just can not see it this year at the very least, maybe I am wrong, with the diesel in current form selling so well, what advantage would this have

I think Porsche also have an eye on emissions and the Cayenne helps bring this down

If I had to take a guess I would have thought spring 2013 but just guessing

Personally I find the current 245bhp Cayenne quick enough for what the car is

Thanks Saj. I just drove it for the whole day mixed driving and gonna post a review in a minute. It doesn't need any more power for what it is.

Look forward to the review

Power is never enough, you always want more, but do you really need it that's the question
