Porsche announces the Cayenne’s ‘sailing’ ability, wherein it can turn off the engine at 97 mph; it is unlike other hybrids that use electricity only at lower speeds. Also, the German automotive company says that the 2011 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid can accelerate on electric power up to 37 mph. In this respect, it is still like the full hybrids, where electricity supplements and optimizes the gasoline engine power for the lowest fuel consumption.
