The Cayenne S Hybrid has a 3.0-liter V6 supercharged engine. The charging effect of the compressor ensures high levels of torque, even at low engine speeds. The unit generates an output of 333 hp. 325 lb.-ft. of torque is available between 3,000 and 5,250 rpm, enabling a low-rpm, economical driving style while offering exceptional reserves of power.
At 288 volts, the electric machine has a maximum output of 47 hp. The benefits of the synchronous motor with inner rotor design are extremely compact dimensions and high levels of efficiency.
It also acts as a starter motor and alternator. Working in tandem, both units provide a total output of 380 hp and maximum torque of 428 lb.-ft., propelling the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds.
These are the levels of acceleration you would usually expect from an eight-cylinder unit, but with a combined fuel consumption of the six-cylider.
