2011 Porsche Cayenne Spy Video at the Nurburgring

New Porsche Cayenne will be a lighter and more efficient SUV

Here's the latest spy spotting of the upcoming Porsche Cayenne. This time it's a video and we get to see the world's most agile SUV in motion, conducting its own calisthenics around the Nurburgring circuit in preparation for a proper launch in 2011.

We've seen the spy shots of a barely disguised Cayenne before. Notable are the more pronounced shoulder lines and the Panamera-style headlights.

Also, the Cayenne looks more compact, although there's not specific data on its new dimensions. Porsche is definitely planning to make the Cayenne a lighter vehicle and improve its fuel efficiency. It is even planning a Cayenne hybrid. Doing those things can only make the Cayenne a better performer and less of a bulky SUV.

The new Porsche Cayenne is expected to go into production in 2010 with the first deliveries coming later the same year. We are likely to see the new Cayenne debut at a major auto show within the next few months.

Forget soccer moms, I love it! I just took delivery of a Cayenne GTS (6-Spd Manual) and it's a blast and a half to drive. Porsche carved out a lovely niche for themselves with this particular SUV and, as far as I can tell, they have one incredibly happy customer.

...anyone else see alot of Audi Q5 esp in side views ? I thought I read they were planning on downsizing and using the Q5 platform would work...

When I was on holiday in Ostria last summer I saw 5 cayennes in a row wich one of them was a prototype like this with a beautiful v8 sound.

Are there any specs available anywhere? A ballpark figure on the weight would be nice.

My cousin has just bought a turbo. No doubt it'll wind up upside down in a hedge like his other cars. My Aunt has just totaled her lexus LS and traded in for a Range Rover, so be careful out there!
