The European combined fuel economy is a notable 12.2 km/ℓ, with CO2 emissions of 193 g/km, demonstrating its environmental credentials. The Cayenne S Hybrid is slated for release in the U.S. this autumn.
BRAND HISTORY
PORSCHE (Porsche) is a globally acclaimed sports car brand representing Germany, earning overwhelming support from skilled drivers worldwide. Its origins trace back to 1931. Ferdinand Porsche, a prodigy who distinguished himself as an automotive engineer from his twenties, gained experience as technical director at Daimler before establishing his own "Porsche Design Studio" in Stuttgart, Germany. From then on, he was entrusted with developing various vehicles for automobile manufacturers. Among his most famous works is the "Volkswagen Beetle," which significantly contributed to motorization as Germany's "people's car."
The first car to bear his name as an automobile manufacturer was the "356," introduced in 1948. Since then, Porsche has released sports cars such as the "911," "924," and "928," while also focusing on motorsport. For instance, they have achieved 16 victories in the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans race and contributed to three F1 series championships as an engine supplier, marking a brilliant racing legacy. It goes without saying that their engineering prowess and dedication to driving performance continue to live on in their products today.
Currently, their lineup boasts high popularity across the board, including the "911," which continues to be highly regarded as a top-tier sports car even 45 years after its debut; the open-top sports car "Boxster"; its coupe counterpart, the "Cayman"; and the premium sports SUV, the "Cayenne."
