Baby Porsche Cayenne Spied!

**AG4** · May 11th, 2008 02:29 AM

Rumors are one thing, finally seeing some proof that the gossip was indeed based on reality is quite another. Porsche has denied high and low for a long time now that a small Porsche Cayenne is in the making, much like how Ferrari denies the Dino, but today the first prototype of a small baby Cayenne was spotted by spyphotographers.

Porsche has been riding a high wave thanks to the Cayenne and has high hopes for their upcoming Porsche Panamera four-door coupe. But the success story may not end there now that we have proof of a Porsche small SUV, the Stuttgart based car marque will enter the segment occupied by the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Mercedes GLK.

The Porsche Roxster (it will most likely not be called that but its all we have for now) will most likely be based on the new Audi Q5 which may also mean that Porsche will add a diesel engine to its range. The similarities between this baby Cayenne and the Q5 are very close with only details (more rounded proportions, side mirrors and less sloping roof line) differentiating between the two cars

Stay tuned for further details when they emerge!

Interesting! I wonder what the name will be on it?

Baka mag reklamo nanaman si Mr. Clarkson. "Monster! Monster!"

The baby Cayenne is actually the next generation Cayenne!

Previously reported by various media as, the Roxster, the prototype pictured above was said to be the smaller brother to the current Porsche Cayenne. However, our spy sources state this is actually the next generation Porsche Cayenne.

The drop in demand for thirsty full size SUVs has forced Porsche to speed up development of the new Cayenne. Porsche boss Wendelin Wiedeking has even been using his ever increasing influence on VW to rush Porsche projects through at the disadvanatge of Volkswagen and Audi.

Oil prices mean we are likely to see a more fuel efficient engine line up, which will include both a hybrid and a diesel.

Porsche hopes to launch the new Cayenne by the first half of 2010, ahead of the second-gen VW Touareg which is expected in late 2010 at the earliest.

dem...hopefully the price is right (meaning significantly better than the current Cayenne). that plus an offering of more fuel-efficient powerplants means that this moves to the top of my list for my next SUV :clap:
