Porsche, The celebrated sports car maker has bit the newest green car fad. It seems like being fuel guzzlers is not a matter of pride anymore. Ferrari has already announced that it will be bringing a hybrid sports car. A similar announcement has been made by Lamborghini too. So how could Porsche, another European sports car manufacturer be left behind in the race for green technology?
Porsche has announced that it is working on launching a hybrid variant for its best selling SUV Cayenne. Did you hear that? A green Cayenne on its way to put a sock in the rattling mouths of the eco workers. The launch is expected to happen next year. At the same time, the newly launched four seater sedan Panamera too will be getting a hybrid sibling in the near future. As per the industry grapevine, Porsche is planning to develop a new engine that will deliver a fuel economy of 11 km/l on the Cayenne. This is an advancement of 25 percent of the current fuel efficiency of 6 km/l in city and 8.9 km/l on the highway.
Since it has a reputation to maintain, Porsche engineers are working on a hybrid system that is better than what the world has seen so far. So far the biggest market for hybrid cars has been contained to United States, Europe and Japan. Other countries have a lot of catching up to do in terms of developing green technologies which will pave way for co-existence of environment and modern engineering.
Porsche Cayenne is already available in India as an imported model. It is available in five variants in India including sporty GTS and Turbo versions. It is available with a price tag of Rs 56 lakh upwards in the country. If India is to get the hybrid model it has wait for some more time. (Tell us something new eh!)
As the country has always been received technologies long time after the world has tested it. There are a few exceptions to it. Hybrids have never been received with open arms by the Indian consumers as they have other options to like the CNG and LPG variants. It will take some aggressive marketing to push the Porsche hybrid Cayenne in the Indian car market.
Its a noble idea of Porsche to launch a green car in India. Hybrid cars are alredy in In Japan and far off West. In India we have carmakers that are producing cars with CNG and LPG variants. Its nice t know that foriegn car investors like Ferrari and Lamborghini have decided to launch green cars in near future.
If cars like Porsche Cayenne are turning green what is the problem with Indian car manufacturers to adapt the same technologies for India. The Indian car market does not have even one hybrid engine in production here. I recently read that Indian car manufacturers want the hybrid engines in India, so that the technology can be learnt by Indians. Maybe passed on to all.
India has not seen any strong hybrid SUVs. The premium car manufacturer have gone in India is offering diesel models. India seem to be the next hub for hybrid cars. Honda launched the first Civic hybrid in India. With more car makers concentrating on the hybrid version there will be a long list of eco-friendly cars in india.But the only drawback would be the cost as all these cars will be imported…it will cost a fortune.
