Porsche is investing $693 million in its Leipzig plant for new manufacturing facilities for the 2013 Cajun soft-roader.
The factory in the former East Germany is already home to the four-door Panamera and the all-wheel drive Cayenne.
The Leipzig Porsche plant is also setting environmental standards, being one of the world’s most efficient car factories. For example, the air recirculation and power cut-off technologies in the paint shop ensure particularly economical energy use. “Sustainability of the very highest order is enshrined in our environmental principles. Our use of ultra-modern equipment and facilities is a valuable contribution to frugal automotive engineering,” said Wolfgang Leimgruber, Porsche board member with responsibility for production.
Porsche plans for the Cajun to inject fresh momentum alongside the new generation Cayenne, which has consolidated its market position as one of the most successful sporting all-wheel drives in the premium segment. The Cajun is intended – alongside the Boxster, the market-leading two-seater mid-engined sports car – to provide a more affordable route for new customers to buy a Porsche.
