It uses the 3.2 V6 VW-Audi engine.

"While the engine block is sourced from Volkswagen, which is Porsche's partner in the construction of the Cayenne's unit-body chassis, the 15-degree, 3.2-liter V6 engine has been extensively reworked by Porsche engineers. They designed an entirely new intake system for the engine, with two overhead camshafts and continuously variable intake valve timing. They also reworked the exhaust system to provide the sound that immediately identifies the Cayenne as a true Porsche
The 2004 Porsche Cayenne features a 3.2-liter V6 engine tuned by Porsche engineers to produce 247 horsepower (SAE) at 6,000 rpm and 228 pound-feet of torque, with that peak torque figure achieved all the way from 2,500 rpm to 5,500 rpm"

I'm waiting on the V10 Turbo Diesel Touareg - I think it will be the best of all SUV's

Default Porsche, Audi and VW co-developed the chassis and everyone will put their own sheet metal ...

on it but I'm sure they'll share losts on internal pars too.

Yup, and at that price, it's on the same price-point as the TT.
