We also got a chance to speak to Mr. James Bourne, Regional Operational Manager, Porsche Middle East. Well here's the Porsche story. Q. Could you throw some light on how you’ve managed to reduce fuel consumption on the new Cayenne? A. We have managed to reduce the weight of the new Cayenne considerably by using a special combination of materials across the vehicle from the body to the chassis that have considerably helped in the vehicle’s lightweight construction and have increased the performance. The engineers and designers have reduced a substantial amount of weight with the panoramic sun roof itself, which is now available as an option, and this trend is seen throughout the vehicle. It’s a more dynamic car than its predecessor and sportier.
