It will be front engined and rear wheel drive and powered by a modified version of the 4.5 L V8 found in the Cayenne, equipped with the FSI system invented by Volkswagen (Porsche and Volkswagen collaborated on the Cayenne\/Touareg sport utility vehicle). Base spec models will be engineered with a 3.5 litre V6 found in the Cayenne, and there is even a hybrid version in the pipeline. The final assembly of the vehicles will take place in Leipzig. Engines will be assembled in Stuttgart, and the car&#8217;s painted body will come from the Volkswagen facility in Hanover.<\/p>\n<p>If the Cayenne SUV&#8217;s sales slow, CEO Wendelin Wiedeking says, &#8220;It will not be possible to keep profits at this high level.  In all likelihood, we will show the same operative result as in the previous year. But a quantum leap of the kind we saw last year will not repeat itself.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Wiedeking also said that Porsche was in no hurry to increase its stake in VW or acquire the company as a whole and kyboshed rumours about Porsche, Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, and Bugatti forming a premium spin-off company outside Volkswagen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porsche expects its fast-paced growth to ease for the next two years as buyers are keen and waiting for the 2009 release of its first four-door sports-luxury sedan, the Panamera.
