Hybrid Porsche Now Qualifies For Federal Tax Credit

2011 Cayenne S Hybrid

Atlanta, GA (Vocus/PRWEB) December 09, 2010

In late breaking news, Porsche’s 2011 Cayenne S Hybrid sport-utility vehicle, has been certified as being eligible for the Alternative Motor Vehicle Tax Credit as a Qualified Hybrid Motor Vehicle. Customers that have already purchased the new Cayenne S Hybrid or that plan to do so before December 31, 2010 can be eligible to receive up to an $ 1,800 federal tax credit. “That is fantastic news for potential buyers that have been looking for yet another incentive to get behind the wheel of Porsche’s first production hybrid.”, said Doug McIntyre, General Manager of Jim Ellis Porsche of Atlanta.

The Cayenne accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds on its way to a top test track speed of 150 mph, yet it delivers an impressive EPA-certified 20 mpg city/24 highway. Its base price before the federal tax credit is $ 67,700 (excluding destination).

In the Cayenne and Panamera model lines the ‘S’ designation indicates a V8 under the hood. But the ‘S’ in the Cayenne S Hybrid name identifies the true performance character of this SUV’s highly sophisticated parallel full hybrid system. With a combined power output of 380 horsepower from the supercharged V6 combustion engine and an electric motor, the Cayenne S Hybrid delivers performance nearly equal to the Cayenne S with its 400-horsepower V8 and fuel economy estimates that exceed those of the Cayenne with the V6 engine.

The Cayenne has already received many accolades in the very first year of its release and the added benefit of a tax credit gives the Cayenne a distinct advantage. Among the significant awards it has already achieved since going on sale this summer include 2011 Motor Trend Sport/Utility of the Year and also the Auto Pacific Motorist Choice Award for Best Premium Active Lifestyle Vehicle. Finally, the Cayenne Turbo was named Luxury ALV of the Year, On-Road in the 2011 Active Lifestyle Vehicle of the Year Awards competition.

The North American Cayenne lineup also includes the Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo. They are powered by a 300-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 in the Cayenne, a 400-horsepower 4.8-liter V8 in the Cayenne S, and a 500-horsepower twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 in the Cayenne Turbo. The Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo SUV models are on sale now, and their base prices (excluding destination) are as follows: Cayenne, $ 46,700; Cayenne S, $ 63,700; and Cayenne Turbo, $ 104,800.
