The New Cayenne Turbo S |Development
Some engineers test the limits. Ours ignore them.
Introducing the new Cayenne Turbo S.
At Porsche, ultimate performance
is defined by a single word: Turbo.
Elevated power is designated withasingle letter: S.Together, they redefine the meaning
of power and pure acceleration to
achieve levels of performance
previously thought unattainable in a
sportutility vehicle. The most
recent round of new thinking
applied to our SUV concept hasyielded one of the most advanced
production vehicles of its kind. It’s
a perfect blend of exhilaration and
control born of simple, powerful
ideas taken to their extremes.
Culminating in an SUV only Porsche
could build.The designs and engineering
behind the Porsche Cayenne
are derived from decades of race
bred innovations tested in rallys
through some of the most grueling
climates and conditions on the
planet.Every Cayenne has been
endowed with legendary Porsche
on road performance and
prowess, yet is equally capable
and reassuring when venturing off pavement.It’s a vehicle that can take you
from a primitive dirt road to the
bright lights of the theater district
with equal amounts of competence,
safety and style.
Our latest Cayenne Turbo S model
features engine and turbocharging
enhancements that set new
benchmarks for horsepower and
torque. Improvements to the drive
system and chassis offer moreunwavering control and a more
dynamic experience. Each
technical improvement brings a corresponding increase in
passion felt behind the wheel.
Now, three decades after the first
transfer of turbo technologies from
our dominating 917 racecars onto
the roadway, we unveil the quickest,
most powerful Porsche SUV ever:
The new Cayenne Turbo S.
Wrapped in a familiar Porsche skin,
the lightweight chassis helps you
duck through corners with ease or
negotiate naturally thrilling terrain
with confidence.Afully independent
suspension similar to the Cayenne
Turbo’s combines large format
double wishbones on the front
wheels with multi link geometryat
the rear to offer the familiar
Porsche blend of agility and
precision. To cope with the extra
power of the Turbo S, precision
modifications have been made to anumber of front axle components
such as the tie rods,wishbone
mounts and shock units.
Added to these enhancements is
the revised management software
for the pneumatic suspension
system.Porsche Active Suspension
Management helps each wheel stick
to the earth independently of the
others by continuously monitoring
your style of driving and constantly
adjusting damping force based on
road conditions or driving dynamics.The Cayenne Turbo braking system
has also been upgraded on the
TurboS.Standard 20 inches Cayenne
SportTechno wheels are fitted in
the front with six piston monobloc
aluminum calipers and larger
(19 inches diameter), thicker
1.5
inchesinternally vented discs.
Specially designed cooling ducts
aid front brake
ventilation,while
four piston monobloc
calipers clamp
14.09 inches internally ventilated
rear discs in tandem with four channel
ABS for unwilting stopping power.
The New Cayenne Turbo S |Chassis
The fusion of SUV versatility and
sports car performance is clearly
seen, and more importantly felt,
in a six speed Tiptronic S
transmission that transforms the
torque of the Cayenne Turbo S
engine into a controlled delivery of
power in all terrain. While tailoring
shift points to your particular style
of driving at the same time.
In automatic mode, the Tiptronic S
computerized shift map makes the
kind of decisions you’d make if you
possessed more than 50 years of
racing experience.It seamlessly
finds the gear you need while
continually monitoring engine
and driving conditions.Manual mode lets you take control
of your gear selection using rocker
switches on the steering wheel or
the center console shift lever.
Channeling power where it creates
the most adrenaline is a Porsche
trademark the Cayenne Turbo S
takes to a new level with one of the
most sophisticated drivetrains ever
developed for a production SUV.A permanent all wheel drive system
distributes power between the axles
using a standard38/62 front/rear
split.This rear wheel bias,together
with Porsche Stability Management,
provides stable grip on almost any
surface.And a feel for the road
that is purePorsche.Porsche Traction Management goes
further, combining a lockable center
differential, a transfer gearbox with
automatic brake differential and
anti slip regulation for added levels
of traction – and peace of mind –
as road conditions worsen.
The system uses an electronically
controlled multi disc clutch in the
center differential to optimize the
delivery of torque between the
front and rear wheels. The center
differential is specially configured
for maximum performance on paved
roads in high range mode and
maximum traction off road in low
rangemode.
