Op het autosalon van Genève zal Porsche de Porsche 911 GT3 én de Porsche Cayenne Diesel voorstellen.

De nieuwe Porsche 911 GT3 beschikt over de inmiddels gekende zescilinder motor, die 435 pk levert, 20 pk meer dan het vorige model. De GT3 kan daardoor in 4,1 seconden naar 100 spurten en als je op het gaspedaal blijft duwen, spurt de GT3 naar 312 km/u.

De bodykit van de Porsche 911 GT3 werd verder geoptimaliseerd, om zo de downforce maar liefst te verdubbelen. Voor het eerst zal de 911 GT3 uitgerust worden met het PSM-systeem, dat voor Porsche Stability Management staat.

Ook de Porsche Cayenne Diesel zal voor het eerst aan de wereld worden getoond. De motor is volgens Porsche economisch en heeft enorm veel trekkracht. De Porsche Cayenne Diesel is volgens Porsche ideaal voor lange ritten. De buitenkant van de Cayenne Diesel is identiek aan die van de standaard Cayenne.
De kracht komt van een V6-dieselmotor, die 240 pk levert en een topsnelheid van 214 km/u heeft. De grootste troef van deze motor zijn zijn 550 Nm, die al bij 2000 rpm beschikbaar zijn. De kaap van 100 km/u kan na 8,1 seconden overschreden worden.

Van versnelling veranderen in je Porsche Cayenne Diesel gebeurt hoe dan ook met de Porsche Tiptronic versnellingsbak, het verbruik komt neer op 9,3 liter per 100 km. Dit wil zeggen dat je met je Porsche ongeveer 1000 km kan rijden, aangezien de Porsche Cayenne Diesel een tank van 100 liter heeft.
