V8 Twin Turbo Engine



V8 Twin turbo engine

The V8 twin turbo engine of the Cayenne Turbo is characterized by its high power output and torque with low fuel consumption. The 4.8 l Turbo engine is characterized by the following main features:
- Weight-optimized crankshaft
- Optimized oil guide with aluminum oil guide housing

A weight-optimized crankshaft is also used in the Cayenne Turbo as a lightweight design measure aimed at reducing weight. The crankshaft has a larger counterweight radius than the previous V8 crank drive. The weight reduction of the crank drive is therefore 1.3 lbs (0.6 kg).
