a V6 diesel engine was introduced to the Mk1 Cayenne to create the first Porsche fed by the devil’s pump.

The first?

That’s what I think of with diesel or off road Porsches.

Love it! Perfect colour too.

I like this a lot. Recently bought a 535d (mapped of course...) and really enjoying it for what it is and doing the 90 mile/day commute in, I can imagine this Porsche is just another step up, albeit a big step up.

Not defending Porsche or diesels, but I wonder if the world-first technology invented by Loughborough University called ACCT would alter views on diesels and their 'demonisation'?
From my understanding, and a quick reading of the research papers, it would appear that it makes diesel engines less harmful to the environment and our bodies than petrol.

Personally, i drive a diseasel at the moment, based on the mileage i had to do up until July (end of Primary School for my youngest).
My kids now go to skool (sic) around a mile down the road, so once I've dropped them off and gone to the gym my morning return commute is 9 miles as opposed to nearly 20.

Come January I'll be parking my bum in a Seat Leon FR ST or Cupra petrol, based on my reduced mileage. The flip side is that it will be a 'better' drive on a Sunday morning compared to the diesel..

As for the Panamanamanera, Id happily take the diesel or petrol, but short of finding a heck of a lot of lost change down the back of our settee, ownership prospects remain as likely as me waking up next to Shania Twain....

Owning a Panamera won't impress (a) her much matey

I am going to get a vasectomy done but I am not going to have sexual relationships anymore.

I live in a flat but I am going to buy a lawn mower.

I am going to buy a 60k pounds Porsche but it will be diesel because I don't have money for petrol.

I am not vegetarian because I love animals but because I hate plants.
