Drive systems.
The drive system of the
Cayenne S Hybrid.
Hybrid drives are suitable for use in a
wide range of scenarios. On road, off
road or on the track – to us, it’s about
using technology in the most intelligent
way. Intelligent Performance enables
us to introduce hybrid technology into a
variety of different vehicle concepts.
The clearest proof of this is the 918 Spyder
– a current concept study for the super
sports car of the future. The electric
machines in its plug-in hybrid system
work in conjunction with the high rpm
engine to deliver exceptional performance
with incredibly low fuel consumption.
Another example of a track-derived racing
vehicle is the 911 GT3 R Hybrid. With
its front-wheel hybrid drive and flywheel
storage system, it is an extremely
modern interpretation of a thoroughbred
racecar with great potential for the
future.
With the Cayenne S Hybrid, our primary
focus was on meeting customer require-
ments in terms of athleticism, high effi-
ciency and greater everyday practicality.
The result: the parallel full hybrid.
The Cayenne S Hybrid has a 3.0-litre V6
supercharged engine. The charging ef-
fect of the compressor ensures high
levels of torque, even at low engine
speeds. The unit generates an output of
245 kW (333 hp). 440 Nm of torque is
available between 3,000 and 5,250 rpm,
enabling a low-rev, economical driving
style while offering exceptional reserves
of power.
