Novo Cayenne

eheheh! publicidade enganosa...

agora a sério, trata-se de um concept do grupo alemão Schaeffler, que entre outras coisas fabrica os produtos LUK (embraiagens e afins), INA e FAG (rolamentos e similares) e recentemente comprou o grupo Continental (pneus e componentes automóveis diversos).
Se não estou em erro, agora é o maior grupo industrial na área de acessórios e componentes para automóveis (tirou o lugar à Bosch).

aqui fica o press-release:

Schaeffler Group unveils Porsche Cayenne concept to reduce CO2 by 10%

German supplier, the Schaeffler Group has announced a new concept based on the Porsche Cayenne, meant to demonstrate the possibilities for CO2 reduction through friction reduction. As a bearing maker, friction is at the heart of Schaeffler's business. Schaeffler collaborated with Porsche on the CO2ncept-10% Cayenne supplying new bearings for the differentials as well as different engine components. The tapered roller bearings in the differentials were replaced with angular contact ball bearings.

As has already been demonstrated with systems like power steering, replacing hydraulics with electrical/electromechanical equivalents can also help reduce drag and parasitic losses. The production hydraulic cam-phasing hardware was swapped out for a new more efficient electromechanical system while additional friction reductions came from optimizing the tappets an belt and chain drive systems. Similarly, the former hydraulic roll stabilizer has been supplanted by an electrical version. The Cayenne will be shown at the ATZ/MTZ Congress in Esslingen, Germany this week
