Porsche is another German car manufacturer apart from BMW,Mercedes-Benz and Audi which is a known and potent competitor in almost every segment comprising of luxurious cars. Porsche’s mettle cannot be ignored on the racetracks as well since it has proved it with cars like Porsche Carrera S,Porsche 911,Porsche 911 GT2,Porsche 911 GT3 and several others.
In the SUV segment the company does not lags behind with the Porsche Cayenne delivering it all when it comes to buying a luxurious and powerful vehicle. For the timing the brand is importing the car from the parent manufacturing plant and has not introduced the car to the Indian automobile market officially.
Things are going to change by the coming week as the company has decided to launch the Cayenne officially in India. As expected from the brand,it will give other SUVs a run for their money with its beautiful design and top-notch technology.
