Top Porsche Cayenne Cars
Here are some nice shots of the Porsche booth in Geneva showing the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid. Seems like we miss something.

In the recent years German sports car makers Porsche have expanded out of its usual sports car market with the introduction of the Porsche Cayenne SUV and currently with its new Panamera sedan. However the VW led company is planning to take Porsche back to its original roots.
Even though the Cayenne has been one of the biggest money maker for Porsche in the recent years, the SUV does not really fall well in the sports car image of the company. Due to this Volkswagen has decided to cut off the Cayenne from Porsche product line after the next line of the SUV has run its course. An updated version of the Cayenne will give way for the 2011 model year but no updates are expected thereafter.
Another surprising move by Volkswagen is its decision to ax the recently launched Porsche Panamera Sedan. According to sources the Cayenne and Panamera are expected to end their life cycle with a stop in production sometime in 2016.
Despite the reduction in models, VW is said to be doing a new entry level car for Porsche. The yet to be announced car is said to slot between the Porsche Boxster. For true blood Porsche enthusiasts, the removal of the Cayenne and the Panamera is welcome news.

nissan leaf cars
The Nissan Leaf, set to be released in select US markets by the end of this year, will be priced at around $25,000 after a $7,500 federal tax credit. This will be about $7,500 less than the Chevy Volt after tax credits, which will be released about a month beforehand. In the upcoming weeks, people will be able to make refundable $100 dollar deposits on the Leaf. So far there has been an overwhelming interest in this compact four door hatchback with a 100 mile electric range. Nationwide availability will begin in 2011. Nissan sounds pretty serious about an electric future, and we think they are right
Nissan has unveiled their first affordable, zero-emission car. Titled the Nissan LEAF, it is a “medium-size hatchback” that comfortably seats five adults and has a range of more than 160 km to satisfy real-world consumer requirements. And the most interesting part is it is almost ready for production, and slated for consumer release in late 2010.
Pricing details will be announced closer to start of sales, but Nissan expects the LEAF to be competitively priced in the range of a well-equipped compact vehicle. As an added benefit, because the vehicle has less mechanical complexity than a traditional petrol-powered car, Nissan says the car will require less maintenance.
The Nissan LEAF is powered by “laminated” compact lithium-ion batteries, which generate power output of over 90 kW, while its electric motor delivers 80kW, equivalent to 280 Nm.
Unlike regular vehicles, the Nissan LEAF’s powertrain has no tail pipe, and thus has no emissions of CO2 or other greenhouse gases. A combination of the LEAF’s regenerative braking system and innovative lithium-ion battery packs enables the car to deliver a driving range of more than 160 km on one full charge, enough for a few days of driving. However, top speed is a bit over 140 kph.
The Nissan LEAF can be charged up to 80% of its full capacity in just under 30 minutes with a quick charger. Charging at home through a 200V outlet is estimated to take approximately eight hours, convenient only as an overnight option.
The LED headlights provide yet one more benefit in that they consume just 10% of the electricity of conventional lamps.
Nissan LEAF employs an exclusive advanced IT system. Connected to a global data centre, the system can provide support, information, and entertainment for drivers 24 hours a day.
The dash-mounted monitor displays Nissan LEAF’s remaining power, or “reachable area,” in addition to showing a selection of nearby charging stations.
Another state-of-the-art feature is the ability to use mobile phones to turn on air-conditioning and set charging functions – even when Nissan LEAF is powered down. An on-board remote-controlled timer can also be pre-programmed to recharge batteries.
The first of Nissan’s EVs will be manufactured in Japan, with additional capacity planned for U.S. plants. Meanwhile, lithium-ion batteries are being produced in Japan, with additional capacity planned for the USA, the UK and Portugal, and other sites for investment are under study around the world. Plans include sales only in Japan, Europe and the United States, where it should easily undercut the hyped Chevrolet Volt and Tesla Sedan that will debut at around the same time. Nissan’s only problem would be convincing people to buy a car called LEAF.
