2010 Porsche Cayenne spy photos
These prototypes photographed are not a smaller brother to the current Porsche Cayenne. Having surfed the web in the last few weeks, many media outlets have incorrectly reported that it could be named the Roxster – but it’s actually the first sighting of the icon itself: the new Porsche Cayenne.
The photos are of two different variants, the standard Cayenne (with square exhaust pipes – first one) and the Cayenne S (with two pairs of round exhausts -second one).
The Cayenne was originally released in 2002 and many say it went a long way to improve Porsche’s financial issues. The German powerhouse shares this platform with the Volkswagen Touareg the Audi Q7.
Once again the Cayenne will be the first of the three new SUVs with a release date of about the first half of 2010. Its cheaper brother, the Touareg, isn’t due to make an appearance until late 2010 at the earliest.
Germany’s Automobilwoche magazine reports that Porsche boss Wendelin Wiedeking is using his ever increasing control stake of the VW Group to rush projects that would favour Porsche, even if it disadvantages parent company Volkswagen.
Audi, meanwhile, isn’t expected to replace its relatively new Q7 SUV with a new model until 2013.
The new Cayenne will address fuel efficiency issues with a hybrid and diesel model in the line-up. Yes, hybrid and diesel Porsches are only a few years away.

Interesting. I’m not too quick to judge spy shots because you never really know what the model will end up looking like.
And I say that with complete optimism…oh man…complete optimism…

I’m pretty sure that is a stick on disguise – maybe hiding a mid bonnet vent!!

Ha – A boxster only gets 25 to 30 mpg. These have sold well in the States generally and it appears like they have finally fixed the looks. Agree V1 were pigs. V1.5 look okay now.

Okay Mr/Miss Negativity. If you don’t like the car don’t buy it. Why are you even commenting on a page about cars you so clearly despise????
Yeah, I also think this is to small to be a Cayenne. Looks like the Audi Q5
