Porsche Cayenne CO2ncept-10%: How a V8 powered SUV can be fuel efficient!

Schaeffler Group revealed today its new CO2ncept-10% vehicle, a new car based on the Porsche Cayenne which will be presented at the ATZ/MTZ Congress focusing on “Friction Reduction in the Powertrain” to be held on December 9-10 in Esslingen.

What is so special about this car? Well, it appears that the CO2ncept-10% was developed by Porsche and the Schaeffler Group and involves the use of novel and optimized components in order to achieve a reduction of 10% in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The car you see in the photos is a Porsche Cayenne with a V8 engine, but the engine, according to Schaeffler, accounts for 5.8% of the optimization of fuel consumption and the associated CO2 emissions.
