At $12,900, Is This 2013 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid the Real Deal?

While electric vehicles are all the rage these days, hybrids like today’s Nice Price or No Dice Porsche Cayenne may prove more practical in the near term. Let’s see if this Cayenne is a true Porsche, and more importantly, if it’s not priced like one.

The ad for yesterday’s 1998 Chevy Camaro SS listed a litany of handling, performance, and cosmetic updates that had been applied to the coupe. Surprisingly missing from the list was the obligatory Poison CD and flat-brim cap. BYO, I guess.

Not missing from the ad, but apparently missing the mark was the Camaro’s $18,000 price tag. The seller vowed that wouldn’t go any lower, but as far as the 68 percent of you who gave the car a No Dice loss were concerned, that was a vow that needed to be broken.

Speaking of breaking, let’s think about cars and trucks that have somehow broken the mold for their respective manufacturer. I think the most obvious example of this is the Porsche Cayenne. The mid-sized SUV was not only a significant departure in form and category for the traditional sports car maker but its adoption of non-Porsche engines in certain models worked even further against it being embraced by the marque’s purists.

As it turned out, however, the purists didn’t really get a vote on the matter. Not only did the Cayenne bring new buyers into the Porsche fold, but it became the brand’s best seller for over a decade. That success earned the model a second generation and even more variations that were less aligned with Porsche tradition than ever.

This 2013 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid takes its supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi arsenal and pairs that with an electric motor for a combined output of 380 horsepower and a staggering 430 lb-ft of torque. As fitted, the combo makes the hybrid almost as quick as a naturally aspirated V8-powered Cayenne, even though it’s carrying a nearly 400 pound weight penalty.
