The King of Overkill Captured in Canada by Carscoop Reader

If there was ever a prize for the crappiest application of decorative ornaments and decals of any sort on an automobile, this here Porsche Cayenne would win the contest hands down. I mean, just look at it…

We first showed you the Porsche Cayenne with the Ontario license plates last Friday, but today, Carscoop reader Jonathan Fernando spotted the car parked outside –wait for the drum roll- a….Dollarama store and didn’t waste the opportunity to snap a few photos.

Decorative Overkill on a Porsche Cayenne SUV

While never mainstream, car decorations in the broadest sense of the word have always appealed to certain people. However, this is something you expect to see on an old, probably run down, conventional vehicle and not on a fairly new upscale model like the first generation Porsche Cayenne SUV….

The absurdly decorated German SUV with the Ontario license plates is covered in stickers, badges, chrome add-ons, reflectors and toys. We even managed to discover a few LED spotlights on the SUV's hood. Talk about overkill… More photos in the gallery after the jump.

Audi has updated the Audi Q7, an all-wheel drive permanent total ('quattro') and without reduction of five meters long and up to seven seats, which was launched in the market in spring 2006. It is on sale from € 56,650.

2009 Audi Q7

The changes affect the exterior, interior and engines. It is available in five or seven seats with the same engines that the model of 2006, although most are minor modifications to consume less. The range consists of three diesel and two petrol.

Audi Q7

The 3.0 TDI engine from 239 hp is available in two versions, one normal and another, called 'clean diesel, which emits less nitrogen oxides (NOx) and fulfills the Euro 6 antipollution regulations coming into force in 2014.

It spent 9.1 and 8.9 l/100 km respectively, slightly less than previous V6 TDI (9.8 l/100 km). In equal equipment, the version "clean diesel" is € 2,000 more expensive.

Among the all-similar, only the BMW X5 and X6 30d of 235 hp has approved an average consumption lower than the Audi Q7 3.0 TDI "clean diesel". Models such as the Volkswagen Touareg (239 hp), Mercedes-Benz ML (224 hp) or the Porsche Cayenne Diesel (239 hp) consume more.

Geneva Preview: Porsche Cayenne Diesel gets the TechArt Treatment

For some reason, Porsche tuner TechArt has decided to release an exclusive aerokit for the recently introduced Cayenne Diesel that's powered by an Audi-derived, 240-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 TDI. Though less extreme than the firm's other tuning packages, the accessorized Cayenne Diesel definitely stands out. TechaArt's aero kit includes a front spoiler with additional lights, side skirts, roof spoiler, a rear apron with an integrated diffuser and headlight / tail light trims. All components are made from high quality polyurethane RIM.

The package is complemented by a set of 21-inch alloy wheels shod in 295/35 Continental tires, but buyers can also opt for 22-inch alloys. If your pocket can handle it, TechArt also offers a variety of upgrades for the interior including a new steering wheel, alloy pedals and a full leather treatment.

Porsche Releases More Cayenne S V6 Hybrid Details - Sales to Commence in 2010

If you're going to go for a large and powerful SUV, you might as well opt for one that consumes as less fuel and emits as less CO2 as possible - at least that's the logic behind vehicles like the forthcoming Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid that will be available worldwide from the beginning of 2010. According to the German automaker, the hybridized Cayenne will consume less than 9.0 liters of fuel per 100km (26.2 mpg US) in the New European Driving Cycle (EPA fuel economy figures are not yet available) and emit some 20 percent less C02 than comparable combustion engine vehicles with similar power output.

Talking about power, the Cayenne S Hybrid uses a supercharged Audi 3.0-liter V6 engine with Direct Fuel Injection (DFI), for 333-horsepower and 324 lb-ft of torque from 2,900 to 5,300 rpm. The V6 is mated to a 52-horsepower three-phase synchronous electric motor that produces up to 221 lb-ft of torque and also acts as an alternator, while the combined power units are joined to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Also on board is a 154-lb. no-maintenance 38 kW nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery which takes the place of the spare tire under the luggage compartment.

Porsche said that the company's engineers have been able to drive the SUV at speeds up to 86 mph (140 km/h) without at all using the supercharged V6 combustion engine. In terms of performance, the Cayenne S Hybrid is said to cover the 0-to-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in just 6.8 seconds.

For those that prefer sedans over SUVs, you'll be glad to learn that a similar hybrid system will find its way into the new Porsche Panamera four-door saloon sometime after the car's market debut in late summer 2009.

Russians Build Volga GAZ-21 Replica Based on Porsche Cayenne SUV

Even if you do not like any of Cardi's proposals, you have to admit that the crew working at the Russian design and tuning firm have more imagination than a hundred Hollywood producers combined. Aptly named 'Volga Cayenne', the car is essentially a replica of the 1960's Volga GAZ-21 based on a modified Porsche Cayenne chassis. Bypassing the Stalin graphics and the red-star alloy wheels on the outside, the 5.1 meter long (roughly the same size as a Mercedes-S-Class) "Volga Cayenne" uses the same 450HP 4.5-liter turbocharged V8 engine as the pre-facelift Cayenne Turbo. Power is channeled to all four wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission.

If we are to believe Cardi, the Stalinmobile 'Volgarized' Cayenne can accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
