Exceptional performance.
What else would you expect from a Porsche?
The Cayenne.
A high-performance six-speed
manual gearbox is standard
equipment. The optional six-speed
Tiptronic S includes gearshift
controls on the steering wheel.
It is also equipped with standby
control for better fuel economy
(see page 64).
The powerful brakes increase
active safety in all driving scenarios.
The black-finish calipers are unique
to the V6 model.
With its precision steering and
sports chassis setup, the Cayenne
is agile and responsive. Using
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
and Porsche Stability Management
(PSM), power is transmitted through
the permanent all-wheel drive with
efficiency, precision and safety. In
difficult terrain, the electronically
variable centre differential combines
with the anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and automatic brake differential
(ABD) to maintain optimum traction
at all times. This ability is enhanced
in low-range mode, where all gear
ratios are reduced. As a result,
the car remains mobile in soft
ground and performs better when
towing a heavy trailer load. For
the toughest off-road conditions,
the electronically variable centre
differential can be fully locked while
in low-range mode using the PTM
control on the centre console.
The torque split is then fixed with
38 % of drive being transmitted
to the front wheels and 62 % to
the rear.
For extreme off-road use, there’s
the optional Off-road Technology
package. As well as increasing
underbody protection, it includes
an electronically variable rear
differential (see page 89). This
differential can also be manually
locked to increase off-road
traction.
The Cayenne is an excellent on-
road performer with a wide range
of other talents: off-road capability,
comfort, safety, sporting style and
practicality.
Its powerful V6 engine features
direct fuel injection (DFI), variable
valve timing on inlet and exhaust
and a variable resonance intake
manifold. The results: generous
performance and excellent fuel
economy.
The 3.6-litre engine develops
213 kW (290 hp) at 6,200 rpm.
Maximum torque is 385 Nm
from as low as 3,000 rpm. With
a manual gearbox, it requires
8.1 seconds to reach 100 km / h
(62 mph). Maximum speed is
227 km / h (141 mph).
Press the standard ‘Sport’ button
and the engine management is
adjusted to maximise throttle
response.

Whatever the terrain, the passenger
compartment provides a comfort-
able environment for up to five adult
occupants. The partial-leather seats
have 12-way electric adjustment
for the driver and front passenger.
Other standard features include
air conditioning and the CDR-30
CD radio with two-tuner frequency
diversity and 12 loudspeakers.
The optional automatic air condi-
tioning has separate temperature
adjustment for the driver and front
passenger. Alternatively, there’s a
four-zone air-conditioning system
with additional controls for the
rear seat occupants.
The luggage compartment offers
540 litres of loadspace. With the
rear seats folded, this is increased
to as much as 1,770 litres*.
For easier loading, there’s an
optional automatic tailgate (see
page 144). Other load-carrying
solutions include a roof transport
system and a choice of towbars
(manually detachable or electrically
retractable). Both can be used
with braked trailer loads up to
3,500 kg.
The passive safety concept
offers excellent protection for
all occupants. The concept is
based on a sophisticated body
structure featuring multi-phase
steels, energy-absorbing areas
and side-impact protection.
This is augmented by a compre-
hensive airbag system featuring
full-size front airbags for driver
and front passenger, integratedroof-mounted curtain airbags
covering both rows of seats,
and thorax airbags in the front
seat backrests.The Cayenne. Performance,
practicality, Porsche.

The Porsche ‘S’ has long been
a mark of heightened sports
performance. On the Cayenne S –
as on many cars before – it means
power, athleticism, more efficient
dynamics – even greater driving
pleasure.
To experience its effects, simply
drop down a gear on the six-speed
manual gearbox (option: six-speed
Tiptronic S) and open up the
throttle on the 4.8-litre V8 engine.
Thanks to direct fuel injection (DFI),
the effect is immediate with drive
transmitted to a set of 18-inch
Cayenne S II wheels. The car is
propelled to 100 km / h (62 mph) in
as little as 6.6 seconds. Maximum
speed is 252 km / h (157 mph).
The naturally aspirated V8 develops
283 kW (385 hp) at 6,200 rpm.
Maximum torque is 500 Nm
from 3,500 rpm. This exceptional
performance is, in part, achieved
with the aid of variable valve
timing and two-stage valve lift
(VarioCam Plus). This system is
also responsible for the smooth
running characteristics, significantly
improved fuel economy and lower
exhaust emissions.
The engine sound is typically
Porsche – even more so with the
optional sports exhaust system
(available in conjunction with
Tiptronic S). As well as enhancing
the acoustics of the car, it features
twin chrome-plated stainless
steel tailpipes. The sports exhaust
has a ‘Sport’ sound setting that
is automatically enabled when the
general ‘Sport’ mode is selected.
Reaches places that others can only dream of.
Like the heights of driving pleasure.
The Cayenne S.
The handling characteristics and
driving properties are exemplary
for a car of such versatility. Equally
impressive are the standard safety
systems, including larger brakes
with distinctive silver-finish calipers.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
is standard on all Cayenne models
and provides a further reduction in
braking distances (see page 98).
The Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB) is available as optional
equipment on the Cayenne S,
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.
The driving dynamics can be
further enhanced with the optional
air suspension featuring Porsche
Active Suspension Management
(PASM – see page 76).

The heightened performance
of the Cayenne S is reflected
throughout the interior.Special features include door-sill
guards in stainless steel plus
partial-leather seats with a genuine
leather finish on the centres,
inner side bolsters and head
restraint centres. Both front seats
have 12-way electric adjustment.The optional sports seats provide
additional lateral support and
have a comfort memory package.
Instruments (Cayenne S) Centre console (Cayenne S)
The familiar arrangement of five
round
instruments includes a
large 3-inch display in the centre
dial. This is used for a wide range
of information, including Tiptronic S
gear display, ‘Sport’ mode
confirmation or readings from
the optional Tyre Pressure
Monitoring (TPM).
Stylish features include an
Aluminium Look finish on the
instrument rings and a gear
lever surround in satin-fin
ish
aluminium.In addition, the Cayenne S offers
greater comfort, including a

Breaking new ground.
On the road.
The Cayenne GTS.
Drive is transmitted through a
high-performance six-speed manual
gearbox or optional six-speed
Tiptronic S. The GTS model has
a shorter final-drive ratio than
the Cayenne S, which increases
acceleration. The benchmark sprint
to 100 km / h (62 mph) requires
just 6.1 seconds (with standard
manual gearbox). Maximum
speed is 253 km / h (157 mph).
The engine sound is specially
enhanced by the standard sports
exhaust system.
Developing the Cayenne GTS was
an exercise in what we do best:
more performance, more agility,
a more immediate driving experi-
ence. In short: more sport – both
visually and technically – designed
exclusively for the road.
The 4.8-litre naturally aspirated
V8 features direct fuel injection
(DFI). It also includes a range
of performance enhancements
compared with the Cayenne S.
The revised intake manifold and
engine management system
enable greater power and
efficiency. The results: 298 kW
(405 hp) at 6,500 rpm and
500 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm.
Another special feature on the
Cayenne GTS is the combination
of steel-sprung sports suspension
and Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) as standard
(air suspension available as an
option). The ride height has been
lowered by 24 mm (20 mm
on optional air suspension) to
improve handling and high-speed
stability. The car’s cornering
potential is immediately apparent
from the standard 21-inch
Cayenne Sport wheels.

available as optional equipment.
The performance capability of
the Cayenne GTS is expressed
throughout the exterior design.
The front and rear sections are
identical to those on the Cayenne
Turbo. The colour-coded lower
mouldings (front, side and rear)
enhance the car’s powerful looks.
An elongated roof spoiler with
fixed bi-plane profile is available
as a no-cost option. The side
window surrounds, door handles
and door-sill trim strips have a
stylish black finish. Another feature
unique to the GTS model is the
pair of dual-tube chrome tailpipes
on the sports exhaust system.
The interior shares the same
sporting style – from the stainless
steel door-sill guards with
‘Cayenne GTS’ logo to the high-grip
padded leather steering wheel.
The standard leather interior
incorporates a range of surfaces
on the dashboard, centre console
and door panels. The electrically
adjustable sports seats combine
luxury driving with high lateral
support and include a comfort
memory package. The front and

More agility. More efficiency. More safety.
So far, it all makes perfect sense.
The Cayenne Turbo.
This enormous potential is trans-
mitted to the road through the stand-
ard six-speed Tiptronic S.Running
on 19-inch Cayenne Design
wheels,
the benchmark sprint to
100 km / h
(62 mph) is completed in just
5.1 seconds. At 210 km / h (131 mph),
the standard air suspen
sion is
automatically lowered to
increase
stability and aerodynamic
efficiency.
Maximum speed is 275 km / h
(171 mph).
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) continuously
modifies the damping force on
each wheel based on changing
road conditions and driving style.
The optional Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) helps to
minimise body-roll when cornering.
This not only enhances occupant
comfort, it also improves contact
with the road. Pulse rate climbing. Shiver down
the spine. Both natural reactions
in a turbocharged Porsche.
The Cayenne Turbo is one of the
most remarkable examples of
the Porsche performance principle.
Blending power with comfort,
it does so in style without ever
compromising on either.
