Audi to provide new 309-hp V6 twin-turbo diesel for Porsche Cajun
The upcoming Porsche Cajun will borrow the platform from the Audi Q5; however, that’s not the only thing Porsche will be borrowing. Insiders suggest the Audi will also provide Porsche with a new V6 twin-turbo diesel unit as part of deepening ties between the two VW Group brands.
Sources say that the tie-up is designed to align the two brands closely, saving research, development and component costs.
The 309-hp 3.0L V6 twin-turbo diesel will be the new range-topping engine on the facelifted Audi Q5 due next year.
