Porsche Cayenne hybrid will use a third less fuel than current version
Reuters is reporting that the upcoming Porsche Cayenne hybrid will use almost a third less fuel than the standard version. The hybrid is coming in late 2009 and will supposedly get 26.8 mpg (8.9 liters per 100 kilometers). The standard Cayenne gets 18.5 mpg (12.9 liters/100 km). The current Cayenne also belches between 320 and 378 grams of CO2 per kilometer driven, and new rules will go into effect sometime around 2012 that will make the European fleet average 130 grams. No word on the CO2 output of the part-electric Cayenne.

Burning a given mass of gasoline generates a given mass of CO2. Assuming the density of the gasoline is constant, the same can be said of a given volume of gasoline.
So, if the 12.9L/100km puts out 320gCO2/km, the 8.9L/100km version puts out (8.9/12.9)*320 = 220gCO2/km.

The first-ever brand Porsche SUV, dubbed Porsche Cayenne (Grade burning West Indian pepper), debut in the early fall of 2002. Car companies created together Dr. Ing. h. with. F.

Almost since the beginning of official sales Cayenne has become one of the best-selling brand, despite the relatively high price. Manufacturers (specifically, final assembly, as the body manufactures at the plant in Bratislava) and car pastors deployed at the new ultramodern factory Porsche in Leipzig.
