Porsche Cayenne facelift

[b@rt7]

notevole...

....in piena tradizione tedesca

[ACS]

rimane sempre un'auto veramente volgare, per riprendere un'espressione usata in altro thread, quasi preferisco la Hummer, chiaramente sempre e solo H1 SW!!

Eppure pare la regalino ai semafori x quante se ne vedono in giro... mah, sta crisi poi...

... bello lo Sherman dietro il Tiger

Lo Sherman pero' era un carro mediocre, salvato solo dall'amplissima produzione ( 48.000 esemplari ). Si noti per esempio l'eccessiva altezza che lo rendeva molto vulnerabile .

Unlikely to be publicly unveiled before the Detroit Motor Show next January (or possibly even later),...

These pictures show an early prototype of the new model and clearly demonstrate the extensive changes made to the car’s nose. The headlamps have been reshaped into a more streamlined and purposeful look, and the gaping air intakes have been redesigned.

However, this car is wearing a thin plastic nosecone disguise which makes it hard to tell exactly how Porsche engineers have reworked the car’s air management. But one thing is clear: the thin upper central air intake has been dropped down below the headlamp’s lower edge. This seems to allow all three intakes to line up – a considerable improvement over the current nose design.

Extensions ahead of the front wheels and a re-worked lower valance may be modifications to meet upcoming pedestrian safety regulations. Vehicles with high ground clearances need to ensure that pedestrians aren’t dragged under the wheels in an accident.

Other minor changes to the back appear to be smaller rear lights (their bottom edges on this mule have been extended with red tape) and a new rear bumper and valance design.

One Porsche source suggested that the mule is out testing because the cooling system must be perfected this far ahead of launch. Any fundamental problems here could require a re-design of the grille openings.

Although the 450bhp Turbo Cayenne is mesmerically rapid, Porsche engineers could be preparing to up the power again. After all, this mule seems to have eight-pot front brake calipers.

Even more likely is that the base model will get a version of VW’s upcoming 3.6-litre V6 engine destined for a super-Passat. In the standard state of tune it develops 280bhp, 30bhp more than today’s 3.2-litre V6 Cayenne.
