Furthermore, the prototype model seen here features a lower front design giving the Cayenne a more aggressive stance as Porsche is evidently trying to make its soft-off-roader less of an SUV and more of a sports car.

The new Cayenne will share the same platform with the Panamera sports sedan meaning that it will be offered with an identical line-up that will include V6 and V8 direct injection gasoline units ranging in power from 300 to 500 HP for the more powerful turbocharged engines. There will also be a hyrbid variant as well as a diesel model.

As with the Panamera, the second-generation Cayenne will benefit from Porsche's new seven-speed PDK double-clutch gearbox. The new luxury SUV is expected to make its market debut in early 2010.
