What’s Under the Hood
Reports put the 3.6-liter V-6 engine under the hood, along with a 54-horsepower electric unit that Porsche says can go up to around 70 mph on juice, and amazing feat considering the ample girth that the Cayenne tosses around. Of course, power starts from the line will cause the engine to kick on and provide the necessary oomph. So far, the Cayenne Hybrid’s engine will be mated to a Tiptronic six-speed transmission. Porsche opted to mount the electric motor inline with the gasoline engine and transmission.
