2008 Porsche Cayenne Gets Price, Sale Date

Mike Hanley just came up from the show floor fresh from Porsche’s kickoff press conference with real news. Actual prices and an on-sale date for the 2008 Porsche Cayenne family of SUVs are now in hand.

Prices start at $43,400 for the base Cayenne, $57,900 for the Cayenne S and $93,700 for the now 500 hp Cayenne Turbo. The Turbo can do zero to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. The trio hits Porsche dealers on March 3 with a revised front and rear design, but the interior has barely been altered — just improved stitching on the seats. We’re serious.

2008 Porsche Cayenne Unveiled

Porsche skipped the 2007 model year for its popular Cayenne SUV in order to give it a slight styling change. Here are photos — from left to right — of the new Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo and base Cayenne. The biggest changes are the revised headlamps and lower grilles. The alterations give the SUV a more menacing look than it had before. Obviously, the Turbo also has a much larger grille to accommodate its turbocharger.

Details are limited, but all three engines have added direct fuel injection, which not only boosts power but also fuel economy. The base Cayenne will see an increase of 40 hp in its 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine, to 290 hp. That moves the 2008 Cayenne to 62 mph one second faster than the outgoing model.

The Cayenne S has a V-8 rated at 385 hp, an increase of 45 hp, and the Turbo moves into the 500-hp club and can hit 62 mph in 5.1 seconds.

We’ll learn more about the new Cayenne at the Detroit auto show in early January before it arrives at dealers in March, but for now check out the rest of the photos below.
