Check out the new Porsche Cayenne. It’s still ugly as heck but at least it’s better. Thing is, Porsche just won’t be able to do away with their SUV since it practically accounts for about half of their profits, so the best way for them to move forward with the car is to improve on it.

Porsche promises that the new model is lighter and more efficient than the older model thanks to a simplified transmission. They’ve taken away the low-range gearbox so there’s no real chance for going offroading in this one. Not that the Cayenne has been at par with the like of Range Rovers in offroading ability.

Aluminum bits in the hood, doors and axles also helped the car keep trim. The car will be powered by a choice of engines including a gasoline V8, a gasoline V6, a diesel V6, a hybrid with a V6 gasoline.

The 4.8L V8 dishing out 395 bhp will be found in the S while a turbocharged version dishing out 493 bhp will be found in the Turbo.
