The Porsche Panamera diesel is on its way, announced by Porsche president Matthias Muller in an interview with German magazine, Westfalen-Blatt.
The Panamera diesel should be ready as early as the second half of 2011 and will expand the range, which will also include a future Panamera hybrid expected to appear next year as well.
The Porsche Panamera diesel will build on the success of the Cayenne diesel, although no technical details have been released.
The same mechanics of the Cayenne will probably be used in a large part though, likely extending to the 3.
0 TDI V6 engine with 240 hp and 550 Nm of torque.
The new Porsche diesel will probably use the eight-speed Tiptronic S gearbox and early calculations suggest acceleration time to 100 km/hr could be around seven seconds.
Clearly the Panamera diesel development is part of the Porsche Intelligent Performance program – the fancy name given to the project of reducing fuel consumption across the Porsche range.
Porsche has managed to reduce some of its consumption already, with the Cayenne down by 23 percent, the 911 down by 16 and the Boxster and Cayman managing a 15 percent reduction.
This has been managed by a combination of direct injection, Start&Stop technology and weight reduction.
The expanding Porsche range will also include the famous baby SUV Porsche Cajun, which will share the Audi Q5 platform and will debut in 2014 or 2015.
