The Porsche Cayenne Diesel will be sold in America for the first time, it has been confirmed at the New York motor show today.
The decision to put the diesel 3.0-litre V6 on sale highlights a small but growing shift in the US towards diesel, underpinned by rising fuel prices.
The Cayenne Diesel has 240bhp and 406lb ft of torque from 1750 rpm. It travels from 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds and a top speed of 135mph.
The new Porsche Boxster and Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet are also on display at the New York motor show.
