It looks like Porsche's upcoming baby off-roader, the Cajun, is set to sport an Audi Q5 platform and a brand new V6 twin-turbodiesel engine. As the first Porsche designed under the watchful eye of Volkswagen Group's Group chief designer Waller de'Silva, the Porsche Cajun will be manufactured in Leipzig, Germany.

This new engine will make its first appearance in the latest reincarnation of Audi's Q5. The 3.0L V6 diesel will produce 309hp and 479 lb-ft of torque – decent numbers for the Porsche Cajun scheduled to debut sometime in 2014. While it's still not confirmed that the diesel variant will make the transatlantic jump, here's hoping.
