Virginia Beach, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/14/2011 -- As the first gas/electric vehicle in the Porsche line-up, the 2011 Cayenne is the most fuel-efficient option. Its efficiency isn’t at the expense of power or performance though. Still living up to the Porsche name, the new Hybrid model provides Virginia auto shoppers with more ways to save at the gas pump all while reducing CO2 emissions.

Averaging 24-26 miles per gallon on the highway and emitting only 193 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer, the Cayenne is already a VA Porsche dealer fan favorite. This sport-utility vehicle uses a direct-injected, supercharged Audi 3.0-liter V6 engine capable of up to 333 horsepower. Between the engine and the eight-speed automatic transmission is a 38-kilowatt (52-hp) electric motor that puts out about 221 lbs.-ft. of torque. The Cayenne’s hybrid system is tuned to give a lot of electric assist at highway speeds, making it economically intelligent choice.

When driven at higher speeds, the 2011 Cayenne’s full hybrid system really comes into its own. When there’s no drive power needed from the engine and electric motor, the gasoline engine is automatically disengaged and the Cayenne Hybrid continues to “cruise” along.
