保时捷近日在法兰克福车展发布了新一代卡宴Turbo，该车搭载一台4.0升V8双涡轮增压引擎，功率404千瓦/550马力，比上代车型增加了22千瓦/30马力。由于搭载了新引擎和进一步优化的八速自动变速器，该车百公里加速时间仅需4.1秒，如果想要更快的加速性，可以选装SportChrono套装，加速时间缩短0.2秒，最高时速限制在286公里。除了给人印象深刻的动态表现外，车厂还表示，新车搭载的引擎反应更灵敏，这主要归功于新的排气涡轮增压器设置和引擎室与涡轮增压器之间更短的排气通道。此外，进一步改进的引擎布局让工程师可以将引擎位置设置得更低，从而产生更低的重心，进一步提升车辆动态性能。车厂还表示，由于采用了新的主动底盘及三腔空气悬挂，该车在三个方面均处于领先地位，包括具备了运动车的精准性，轿车的舒适性和越野车的适应性。这款车前轮采用285/40轮胎，后轮采用315/35轮胎。悬挂设置可以通过车载信息娱乐系统进行控制，可提供五种模式。该车成为同级车型中首款可提供主动气动布局的车型，最突出的部分就是车顶的自适应扰流器。结合新的高性能保时捷表面镀层制动系统（Porsche Surface Coated Brake），该车从时速250公里至静止的制动距离缩短了2米。
New Cayenne Turbo Is The Porsche 911 Of SUVs
About two weeks after the premiere of the third generation Porsche Cayenne, the German sports brand is presenting the model’s most powerful variant. Taking its place at the top of the range, the new Cayenne Turbo packs a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine with 550 horsepower (404 kilowatts). That’s 30 hp (22 kW) more than the previous generation.
Thanks to its new engine, and an optimized eight-speed automatic gearbox, the mighty SUV can reach 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in only 4.1 seconds. If you want to be a tad quicker, opt for the additional Sport Chrono Package, which reduces that time by 0.2 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 178 mph (286 kph).
Aside from the impressive dynamic characteristics, Porsche also promises the new engine is much more responsive thanks to a new exhaust turbochargers arrangement and shortened exhaust paths between the combustion chambers and the turbos. In addition, the revised layout of the motor has given the engineers the opportunity to install it lower in the construction of the SUV, which has a positive effect on the driving dynamics due to the lower center of gravity.
The automaker also claims that, thanks to a new active chassis with three-chamber air suspension, the Cayenne Turbo combines the best of three worlds – “the precision of a sports car, the comfort of a saloon and the adaptability of an off-road vehicle.” Just like a sports car, the vehicle gets a set of mixed tires with standard dimensions of 285/40 at the front and 315/35 at the rear. The whole suspension could be controlled through the car’s infotainment system with five driving programs available. The new Cayenne Turbo becomes the first vehicle in its segment to feature active aerodynamics, represented by an adaptive roof spoiler.
In combination with the new high-performance Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB) system, which will be part of the standard equipment for the new Cayenne Turbo, the SUV comes to a stop up to two meters earlier at full braking from 155 mph (250 kph).
