Spy Shots: Porsche Cayenne spotted at diesel pump in Northern Sweden
Photographers hanging out in Arjeplog. Sweden have seen proof that Porsche is indeed working on a diesel powered Cayenne. When automakers are testing vehicles up in Northern Sweeden they generally fill the fuel tanks at public gas stations in town before heading out to the frozen lakes to do their testing. The Cayenne in question was witnessed being filled from one of the black diesel pumps and the distinctive sound of a compression ignition engine was clearly audible as it pulled away. The diesel Cayenne could debut in 2009 although Porsche has yet to officially even acknowledge its existence.

It's about time Porsche got off its high horse and did something about improving the fuel economy of its SUV. The engine is rumored to be a 3.0L V6 from Audi, delivering over 300hp - presumably thanks to sequential turbos.
I wonder if they'll offer this diesel in the front-engined Panamera as well.
