Porsche has unveiled its new Cayenne E-Hybrid. Like any Porsche model, it"s a story of gentle evolution rather than revolution. It continues with a combination of 3.0-litre V6 petrol and electric motor, yielding a 456bhp total, up 40bhp on the old Cayenne hybrid. More telling will be its 516lb ft, available from just above idle thanks to the e-motor using the same strategy as the 918 Spyder"s. There"s a bit more weight to shift here, naturally, but its 0-62mph time of 5.0secs is quicker than a Cayman, and down 0.9sec on the car it replaces, which is quite extraordinary. Porsche is famously pessimistic on its quoted times, too it"ll probably go quicker. The top speed is 157mph.
