Porsche unveiled today the brand new generation of the Cayenne and announced its official debut for this year’s Geneva Motor Show.

As a premiere, the new generation of the Cayenne introduces the hybrid version in the Cayenne S Hybrid, capable to deliver impressive fuel consumption in the New European Driving Cycle of just 8.2 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 34.4 mpg imp) and just 193 g/km CO2 emissions. And this is not all! The new Porsche Cayenne shows a better fuel consumption comparing it to the current version…according to the manufacturer the fuel consumption is down by up to 23 per cent, because the new SUV has been developed according to the principle of “Porsche Intelligent Performance”: more power on less fuel, greater efficiency and lower CO2 emissions.

While prototypes of the 2011 Porsche Cayenne were spotted in Germany several times, this is the first time that an undisguised image of the new SUV was captured. This image was accidentally released early on the configurator of Porsche’s official website.

This image has since been removed but a screen shot had already been saved and distributed everywhere on the net. The SUV will debut at the upcoming Geneva show and is set to go on sale in May. Previously, Porsche had released a teaser of the new Cayenne hidden in the background of an image of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid race car. Continued after the jump!

There is a flurry of activity gripping Porsche as the current generation Cayenne stops production in December and as its Leipzig factory prepares to build the generation Cayenne and Panamera four-door coupe. Porsche has been keeping the details of the next model under wraps and it’s likely we won’t know much until the model is revealed at the Geneva Motor Show.

The Leipzig factory will be modified to be able to take on the additional models and sources estimate that the restructuring of the plant for the new model will take 2-3 months. The platform to be used by Porsche’s new Cayenne for 2011 will be the same used by the next-generation Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7. There are rumors that the new Cayenne will be lighter by around 250 to 300 kilograms as the company will replace steel pieces with high-strength aluminum and magnesium. Porsche found out that these SUVs aren’t actually used by owners for off-road so it decided to eliminate most of the off-road features for a better on-road experience. With regards to performance, we can expect the 7-speed PDK gearbox and a new set of engine variants. In addition, there will be a new Hybrid S version.
