While Porsche will be showing off its Cayenne Diesel at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show next week, TechArt will be on hand showing off a body kit for the new fuel-sipping SUV.

The TechArt Aerokit I for the Porsche Cayenne Diesel consists of a new front spoiler with an integrated headlight unit, side sill panels, a new rear apron with an integrated diffuser and a new roof spoiler. TechArt will also be offering its Formula alloy wheels. A couple of interior upgrades will be offered as well.

No modifications have been made to the 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel that allows for a total of 240-hp and a peak torque of 406 lb-ft. Fuel-economy is estimated at 25 mpg.

TechArt Aerokit I – Porsche Cayenne Diesel:

Production of the Porsche Cayenne Diesel has started at Porsche Leipzig plant. The new Cayenne Diesel will go on sale in Europe starting February 2009 with prices started at €47,250 ($67,298 USD).

The 2009 Porsche Cayenne Diesel is fitted with a 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel engine that makes a total of 240-hp supplied by Audi AG. It delivers a maximum torque of 406 lb-ft. Mated to a Tiptronic S automatic transmission as standard, the Cayenne Diesel returns an estimated 25 mpg.

We heard last week that Porsche may offer its diesel SUV in the U.S. since the Volkswagen Group will bring the Touareg diesel and Audi Q7 diesel to all 50 states in the U.S. A hybrid version of the Cayenne SUV is expected by 2010.

While we were bringing you live coverage of the 2008 LA Auto Show, Porsche decided to release the pictures and details of the 2010 Porsche Cayenne Diesel which will go on sale in Europe early next year with a price tag of 47,250 euros ($58,916 USD).

The Porsche Cayenne Diesel is powered by a 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel engine from Audi that produces 240-hp with a maximum torque of 406 lb-ft. Fuel-economy is estimated at 25 mpg with CO2 at 244 grams per km.

So will it come to the U.S.? The Volkswagen Group will bring the Touareg diesel and Audi Q7 diesel to all 50 states in the U.S., so it’s very likely that Porsche will bring the Cayenne diesel to the U.S. as well. A hybrid version of the Cayenne is expected in 2010.

The executive board at Porsche AG has given the Porsche Cayenne Diesel the green light. The executive board is confident that it will maintain its already long-term success of the Cayenne with the new V6 turbo-diesel (taken from Audi) version. Last year, Porsche sold 45,478 units of the Cayenne.

The new Porsche Cayenne Diesel will arrive in Europe in February 2009 with prices starting at 47,250 euros ($58,916 USD). Porsche says “preparations for market introduction in other countries are underway.” Meaning we may see this in the U.S. very soon.
