Road and track suffers from the
Clueless conclusion:
The Cayenne borrows its 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6 and eight-speed automatic transmission from the diesel versions of the Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Touareg. For the Porsche, though, power is upped from 225 hp to 240-torque is the same in all three vehicles at an ample 406 lb-ft. All-wheel drive is standard. We quite liked this powertrain as installed in our long-term Audi Q7 TDI, so with the added power, lower weight, and Porsche-tuned chassis, this Cayenne should be even more pleasant. Porsche pegs the diesel Cayenne's 0-to-60-mph time at 7.2 seconds, a number we expect to improve on somewhat; when we last tested the slightly heavier Touareg TDI, the sprint took just 6.9 seconds.
Look up the specs : both are front double wishbone front and multilink rear on both base models , Now the Cayenne does have the "PASM" option much like the BMW AD , but my friend the base suspension is the same.
The curb on the Diesel Cayenne is 4795# The curb on the TDI Toureg is 4795# so yes that is 179# ....not too much aluminum...none mentioned in thier specs by the way.
I am not saying they are exact units , but I do say they are very similiar in base units by Porsche own specs...........not to see that is to just have that badge too close to your eye ....
Oh by the way ....Thanks for the welcome...
