The busiest days of Porsche's engineers


Hopefully Porsche also soon get a name more appropriate than Pajun. Because, in Korean, seafood pancake pajun is the name of the course is not authoritative.

Previous baby Porsche SUV which will be named Cajun, eventually changed to Tiger. Major wild animals living in the forests of Indonesia is certainly more worthy to be pinned as an artificial product name Porsche.

WHEN was the engineers at Porsche have quite a hectic schedule. They are not only working on SUV Tigers but also an additional version of the new 911 model like the GT3, Panamera facelift version for 2013 and rival Enzo Ferrari is 918 Spyder.

Even if the gossip was true, the Porsche Panamera is also doing the Shooting Brake version (Station Wagon). In addition there's more.

Reportedly sports car manufacturer from Stuttgart Germany is considering a smaller sedan Panamera to compete with models like the BMW 5-Series at a price more affordable to a wider public.

According to CAR magazine, the project has been awarded 'green-light' and 'baby Panamera' that will have a tentative name Pajun is being developed by Porsche.

Should not you protest Pajun name. Porsche Tigers before even having a very bad name is Cajun. So basically this is a temporary name.

Porsche Pajun be built on the basis of a new modular platform called MSB which will also be used in the second generation of the Panamera will be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2015.

The new platform is said to have similarities with the concept of smaller MQB platform. He will be used to build sports cars, and it is flexible enough to accommodate the use of the configuration of the engine in front, behind, or in the middle and the system is flexible enough to rear-wheel drive or four-wheel-drive.

With a length of less than five meters, he not only will be a tough competitor for executive sedans but also will compete with models like the four-door coupe Mercedes-Benz CLS, Audi A7 Sportback and the new BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe.

As with the Panamera, Pajun will adopt a five-door liftback models. Additionally Panamera interior design that has been recognized quality and affect nearly all Porsche line-up, is likely to influence the interior Pajun.

With prices in the range of 60-100 thousand euros, Porsche Cajun will offer consumers the option to double-clutch gearbox PDK (Porsche-kupplunggetriebe Dopple), ceramic brakes and active suspension PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management System).

But in matters of performance, Pajun be pegged below Panamera V2.0 capabilities. However, buyers can also choose two naturally aspirated V6 gasoline engine powered around 320 bhp and an additional 100 horsepower twin-turbo variant through. In fact it seems also to be available more powerful engine variants presented by Turbo S.

In addition to petrol engines, Porsche will also offer drink diesel variants derived from Audi's 3.0-liter diesel V6 is now also being used by the Panamera. Engine-powered 250 hp which is very economical is certainly not enough for the Panamera and will be replaced by the V8 TDI diesel engines are more powerful.
