Porsche: the Cajun-SUV will be a three-door coupe

The German magazine AutoBild, just one day away from the official confirmation of the production of the Porsche Cajun (name still provisional, specifies the home) has released all the details to the account of this important model. According to the magazine, the Cajun is an SUV-coupe features a unique three-door body.

The cut of this model will therefore be distinctly sporty, from aesthetics: a sloping roof, changes very little, short wheelbase: all serve to mask his close relationship with the technique and give the Audi Q5 a Cajun markedly different from her sister Ingolstadt. Although production will begin towards the end of this year, the commercial debut of the new Porsche will not happen before spring 2013, according AutoBild.

Initially, the Cajun was to be a conventional mid-size SUV with five-door body, for which Porsche was thinking of a production in the Audi headquarters in Ingolstadt. Then, as mentioned above, the line of distinction from the Q5 and the Cayenne has prevailed, even if it is not ruled out the debut of a five-door version at a later time.

In terms of external dimensions, the Cajun will be slightly wider than the Q5 (measuring 188 cm, compared with 194 of the Cayenne), shorter (the Q5 measure 463 cm) and lower (the Q5 measure 165 cm). The living space for only four people, will inevitably be affected, but the price to pay in order to provide a design as personal as possible.

A lot of the technical components that inherit from Cajun model with the four rings: steering, axles, transmissions (manual or seven-speed dual-clutch) and the same all-wheel drive will be taken verbatim from Q5, while the braking system will be developed independently Porsche, such as suspension control electronics driving dynamics: the objective is to differentiate the handling of more than two SUVs.

Cajun-specific accessories will also like the Sport Chrono Package and sports exhaust, but the engine range will reflect very closely the Audi. Four units in the program: 2.0 TFSI 240 hp and 350 Nm 3.0 TFSI V6 290 hp and 400 Nm, 2.0 TDI 190 hp and 350 Nm 3.0 V6 TDI 265 bhp and 500 Nm The two diesel may be offered even further powerstep powered by 204 hp and 300 hp respectively.
