Enhancing your enjoyment is the
new Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) featuring
navigation, touchscreen display
and MP3 compatibility. Sports
seats with added lateral support
are available for all four Cayenne
models (standard in Cayenne GTS).
The Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB) is optional equipment

four unique models, each with a
powerful presence. Agile and
dynamic, they generate excite-
ment in their own individual way.

Performance. It’s what motivates
our engineers – and exhilarates
our drivers. Winning races,
exploring new terrain, achieving
new objectives.
With the Cayenne model range,
we’ve applied this power to an
ambitious range of applications.
The result is four highly
versatile cars – every
one of them a Porsche.
At Porsche, we believe in playing to our strength:
the pursuit of excellence in every respect.
The Cayenne models.
The Cayenne models
One thing they have in common
is the standards they set: in
performance, safety and economy.
The character of each car is
apparent at first glance: accom-
plished, athletic, brimming with
energy and potential. The front
and rear sections are elegantly
designed with excellent aerodynamic
properties. The flared wheel arches
accommodate a range of wheel
options up to 21 inches in diameter.
Among the most distinctive features
on all four models is the elongated
headlight geometry. In addition,
each car has LED taillights as
standard (see page 93).
The stylish form is brought
thrillingly to life with remarkable
engine performance. The high-
capacity engines offer increased
power and torque with relatively
modest fuel consumption. This is
achieved using a range of technol-
ogies
, including direct fuel injection
(DFI – see page 50) and VarioCam
Plus on the V8 engines (see page
53).
The sports-oriented suspension can
be further refined with the optional
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC – see page 80), an active
anti-roll stability system. Safety is an equally important consideration,
with Porsche Stability Management
(PSM – see page 98) included
as standard equipment. The race-
proven Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB– see page 96) is
also available as optional equipment.
The Cayenne models.
Ready for every eventuality.

models have a flattened headlight
geometry which gives a broader
look to the car.
The air intake openings are designed
for optimum cooling. On the
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo,
the central air intake has a larger
cross-sectional area to compensate
for the higher engine outputs. In the
outer intake openings are a pair of
Dynamism and power – both
immediately apparent in every
Cayenne model.
The front-end design on the
naturally aspirated models features
H7 projector-beam headlights.
The Cayenne Turbo has Bi-Xenon
headlights with static and dynamic
cornering lights (also optional on
the other three models). All four
elongated light units containing the
turn-signal indicators and sidelights.
These are positioned vertically on
the Cayenne and Cayenne S, and
horizontally on the Cayenne GTS
and Cayenne Turbo. Another
distinguishing feature on the
Cayenne Turbo is the ‘power-domed’
engine lid.
The rear section also alludes to
the powerful capability of each car.
Integrated within the rear apron
are a pair of single-tube tailpipes
on the Cayenne and Cayenne S,
and dual-tube tailpipes on the
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.
The tailpipes on the Cayenne GTS
have a chrome-plated finish. All
four models have a diffuser-style
design on the lower rear apron
plus LED taillights and brake
lights. An extended bi-plane roof
spoiler is available as a no-cost
option on the Cayenne GTS.
The interior space is designed
around the driver in a range of
quality materials. Full leather
upholstery is standard equipment
on the Cayenne GTS and Cayenne
Turbo. Also included as standard
on the Cayenne GTS is a new
sports seat design featuring
greater lateral support and a
comfort memory package (sports
seats optional on all other models).
In short: a powerful first
impression, inside and out, that
is also enduringly Porsche.
The art: creating motion while standing still.

uncompromising character of Engine power is more than
matched by the red-caliper brakes
with internally vented discs
measuring 350 mm in diameter
at the front. The Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB) is
available as optional equipment.
The performance capability of
the Cayenne GTS is expressed
throughout the exterior design.

Another impressive feature is the
new braking system. The larger-
diameter discs provide extremely
high standards of active safety
in all driving scenarios. As a result,
the Cayenne Turbo achieves bench-
mark performance in decelerationand stability under load. The new
calipers are larger in size with
a distinctive red paint finish. The
Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB) is available as an
option.
Externally, the Cayenne Turbo is
instantly recognisable by the
‘power domes’ on the engine lid.
Other standard features include
Bi-Xenon headlights with static and
dynamic cornering lights. Together
with the elongated lights in the
front air intakes, they lend additional
presence and character to the car.

With over 50 years in motorsport, we appreciate the importance of safety.
Airbags.
All Cayenne models are equipped
with full-size front airbags for driver
and front passenger as standard.
These are augmented by a side-
impact protection system featuring
a thorax airbag in each front seat.
Curtain-type airbags on each side
of the roof provide extensive head
protection for both rows of seats.
When these are deployed, they
form a protective cushion along
the side of the car with a total
volume of around 20 litres.
Two additional impact sensors
are located at the front of the car
to enable better detection of
a head-on collision. As a result,
the front airbags can be more
accurately deployed in response
to the specific characteristics
of what can often be a complex
impact scenario.
The driver and front passenger
airbags use a gas generant based
on an organic propellant. As aresult, the airbags are lighter,
more compact and easier to
recycle. A roll-over detection
system provides additional
protection in the event that the
car were to overturn. Using
sensor-acquired data, it enables
early deployment of the curtain
airbags and triggers the seat-belt
pre-tensioners.
Interior safety features.
The Cayenne models feature
three-point seat belts on all five
seats, as well as seat-belt pre-
tensioners (front and outer rearseats) and force limiters (front
seats only). The front passengerseat and outer rear seats are also
equipped with ISOFIX mounting
points for compatible child seats.
If a child seat is mounted on the
front passenger seat, the
corresponding airbag can
be quickly deactivated using
a key-operated switch.
