"Porsche executives say that their long-rumored hybrid vehicle plans will be confirmed in mid-September at the biannual Frankfurt Auto Show. The hybrid is expected to be a version of the Cayenne SUV that's boosted Porsche's fortunes worldwide, particularly in the U.S. Though it won't show up as a concept car at the show, the hybrid will be discussed by the company's executives, who may also reveal which company's hybrid technology they will use for the vehicle. Porsche is said to be holding talks with Toyota, DaimlerChrysler and Volkswagen as it searches for a hybrid system to graft onto its new vehicle. The hybrid model is expected to bow sometime after 2008 along with the new generation of the Cayenne SUV."
