Details of the next generation Porsche Cayenne was released at its launch at the recent Geneva Motorshow. From the images, the new model looks less clumsy as compared to its predecessor thanks to a lowered roofline, steeper angle of the rear tailgate and sharper looking snout.

While the front end is distinctly Porsche, the same cannot be said for the boot. It could pass off as an offering from a Japanese make without looking at the logo. The layout of the interior has been given a thorough revamp with the dashboard, center and lower consoles looking very similar to the Panamera sports sedan. The new Cayenne shares its platform with the new Volkswagen Touareg while sharing some mechanical components with the Panamera. Despite growing in length, the new German SUV has shed about 200kg as compared to the outgoing model.

 

Petrol powertrain options will include the VW Group's 3.6-liter V6 petrol with 300HP found in the entry level Panamera, a 4.8-liter V8 (400HP) and a turbocharged version of the 4.8L unit generating 500HP. In addition, the Cayenne will be offered with the same diesel-electric hybrid drivetrain as the Touareg, coupling a 3.3-liter supercharged V6 TSI engine producing 333HP to a 47HP electric motor for a total output of 380HP.

Wow...the designers are on a roll with ugly designs eh...

 

Obviously my own opinion but I just think the Panamera was a desperate attempt at coming up with a four-door quickly to compete with the likes of the QP and the Rapide.

 

I take the clear evidence supplied by the aftermarket dealers of their various kits for the Panamera to backup the claims of it being a horrible design to start with.

 

Now we've got this. The Panamera rear just doesn't suit the rugged nature of an SUV. The tail light cluster is disturbing as well.

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    Germany is weird, too

    As we've previously established and regularly highlighted, Japan is pretty weird.  And as it turns out, Germany's kinda weird, too:  m2-res_720p.mp4 The above video has been making its rounds on social media, and the simplest description of it is that it's a game where they are trying to cut an object (here, a pretzel) EXACTLY in half. It's pretty amazing that the person actually succeeds, but the fact that this is a game at all (on TV, no less) is fascinating.  Schlag d

    Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Curry does not exist?

    Curry. When many of us think of Indian food, we naturally think of curry.  Except, well, 'curry' isn't actually a thing. Not the word, and not even technically the food that we think of.  Many of us probably think of curry as some sort of dish that has a gravy or sauce. But that is in fact a generalisation of a wide variety of Indian dishes, and also a decidedly Western invention intrinsically tied to India's Colonial past. 'Curry' as a word doesn't actually exist in the languages spok
