Porsche’s third generation Cayenne is set to come out in 2019 as a 2018 model–but only in the US. Europe will see it first. The current 2017 model will carry over through 2018 in the states. Porsche unveiled the 2019 model in Frankfurt which revealed a higher price point and less supply. In light of the Volkswagen diesel engine scandal, Porsche will not be releasing the diesel model in the United States.

Porsche said it will be phasing out the Cayenne, with the Macan model coming out on top for many car Porsche lovers. The new 2019 model will feature smaller, lighter engines packed with even more power. For a mid-sized crossover, it shows some impressive stats. It has a 3.0-liter single-turbo V-6 engine with 340 horsepower–up from 300 in the current model. It has a 0-60 record of 5.9 seconds, which is a huge improvement from 7.3 in the previous model.

So how did they make all of these improvements? The Cayenne will be made almost entirely of aluminum, which saved 143 pounds. Additionally, the lithium ion polymer battery is 22 pounds lighter. New suspension features take advantage of this weight savings.

The Maserati GranTurismo hasn’t changed significantly over the past ten years, but with such a beautiful design concept, it’s no wonder there hasn’t been much to change. The 2018 GranTurismo Sport is an energizing car, even with an aggressive feel. The iconic oval radiator grille helps cool the front breaks, but also looks distinguished. This car’s design is all about maximizing airflow management, the side skirts give it an iconic profile while also whisking airflow toward the rear wheels.

This machine was released with a Blu Sofisticato finish, a color unique to this particular car. Aside from the build of the exterior, this blue enhances its power. The 20-inch rims are also available in a custom anodized matte blue, called Blu Opaco Anodizzato.

Another small change Maserati made was around the interior, on the Trofeo design steering wheel. This wheel has a contoured rim to make it easier to grip when you approach top speeds of 187 mph. With a 0-60 speed of 4.7 seconds, it’ll be hard to resist speeding down stretches of highway.

The 4.7- liter V8 engine is smooth and formidable, finished with tappets and camshaft lobes that has significantly reduced friction. This engine roars at 454 horsepower at 7,000 rpm. Shift into Sport mode and actuate the valves in the exhaust system so the engine breathes easier to optimize power. With 384 lb-ft torque, power is delivered.
