2008 PORSCHE CAYENNE cooling

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.

The engine is the heart of every
Porsche. It is the origin of its power,
presence and sound, its unique
Porsche character and performance.
On all four Cayenne engines, we
have used direct fuel injection (DFI)
to achieve a significant increase in
specific power and torque as well
as better fuel economy and lower
emissions. All four units are relatively
compact in spite of their large
displacement. The engine cooling
system is extremely effective,
coping easily with heavy trailer loads.
The Cayenne has a naturally
aspirated 3.6-litre V6 with direct
fuel injection and variable valve
timing.
Maximum power output is 213 kW
(290 hp) at 6,200 rpm with
maximum torque of 385 Nm at
3,000 rpm. The results: 0 to
100 km / h (62 mph) in 8.1 seconds
(with manual gearbox) and a max-
imum speed of 227 km / h (141 mph).
The Cayenne S has a naturally
aspirated 4.8-litre V8 with direct
fuel injection and VarioCam Plus.
Maximum outputs are 283 kW
(385 hp) at 6,200 rpm and
500 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm.
Top speed is 252 km / h (157 mph)
with a manual gearbox and
250 km / h (155 mph) with
Tiptronic S. The standard sprint
to 100 km / h (62 mph) requires
6.6 seconds (manual) or
6.8 seconds (Tiptronic S).

Power is the product of efficiency.
Lightweight alloy engine construction.
‘Less is more’ – less weight, more
performance – is a key principle of
Porsche design.
The V8 Cayenne engines have
a ‘closed-deck’ aluminium
crankcase and lightweight
aluminium bedplate. The cylinder
block and its associated coolant
channels are therefore a fully
enclosed system. This not only
reduces the weight of the engine,
it also improves its dimensional
stability. Since the engine is
stronger, it also has a longer
service life.
Other major lightweight compon-
ents include cast aluminium
pistons and aluminium cylinder
heads. On the Cayenne Turbo, the
pistons are forged to compensate
for the higher loads.
The Cayenne V6 has a cast-iron
crankcase and one-piece cylinderheads in die-cast aluminium. This
combination produces high power
output while reducing the weight
of the engine.
Drive
Lightweight construction used on the V8 engines
Consistent performance and a longer service life.
Engine cooling system.
Each engine remains within its
optimum temperature range at
all times. Clearances throughout
the engine are extremely small,
thereby reducing wear. The entire
cooling system is designed for
prolonged
heavy-duty use, e.g.,
off-road driving or heavy towing
and carrying applications.
Emissions, noise and fuel
consumption remain low, while
power and torque are improved.
Lubrication.
The V8 engines use dry-sump
lubrication to ensure a consistent
supply of oil in all load conditions.
The oil reservoir is located inside
the engine. As well as saving
space and reducing weight, the oil
is always there where it’s needed.
Oil is circulated around the
V8 engines using a demand-driven
pump and two-stage scavenging
system, providing optimum
delivery in even the toughest
scenarios.
The V6 engine has a wet-sump
lubrication system that is
also designed for challenging
conditions, e.g., performance
road driving or extreme off-road
gradients.
A high-performance engine can
only maintain its optimum capability
over a long service life if all com-
ponents are operating consistently
within a specific temperature
range.
The V8 engines have an optimised
coolant management system offering
effective temperature control
throughout the engine. While 20 %
of coolant flows longitudinally
through the crankcase, 80 % serves
the cylinder heads using the
proven cross-flow principle (from
hot to cold).
On all Cayenne models, the piston
heads are cooled using oil-spray
jets integrated in the main lubrica-
tion system.

Controlling fuel delivery for optimum combustion.
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
Drive
designed to improve power, torque
and emissions. The swirling of the
injected fuel creates a homogenous
air/fuel mix, thereby enhancing
combustion.
At engine speeds up to 3,500 rpm,
a double injection process is used.
Here, the required fuel volume
is delivered in two successive
injections per working stroke. The
results are faster catalyst warm-up
and increased torque in the upper
load range. All four Cayenne engines feature
direct fuel injection.
As the name suggests, fuel is
injected directly into each
combustion chamber using electro-
magnetic injectors offering
extremely high precision in
terms of both timing and volume.
A high-pressure pump provides
the necessary pressure of up to
120 bar.
The injector position and spray
geometry have been carefully

All Cayenne models have a
standard ‘Sport’ function with
a choice of comfort-oriented
(‘Normal’) or high-performance
(‘Sport’) setup.
When ‘Sport’ mode is enabled
using a button on the centre
console, the engine management
system selects a more ‘aggressive’
map for the electronic throttle.
The pedal response is quicker
and the engine more dynamic
and direct. On vehicles with
Tiptronic S, upshifts are performed
later, downshifts earlier. The
chassis control systems PASM
and PDCC (if present) are also
set to ‘Sport’ mode. Cars with
air suspension are lowered to
Low Level I, creating a firmer
ride, more positive turn-in and
better contact with the road.
The ‘Sport’ sound mode on the
sports exhaust system (standard
on Cayenne GTS; optional on
Cayenne S with Tiptronic S) is
also enabled when ‘Sport’ mode
is selected.

By mixing the fuel and air directly
in the combustion chamber, DFI
contributes to engine cooling.
As a result, it was possible
to increase the compression
ratio and therefore output and
efficiency.
The engine management system
regulates the injection process
based on changing output require-
ments. Oxygen sensor circuits
are used to monitor emissions
and minimize impact on the
environment (see page 60). This
also reduces ownership costs.

There is one fuel that will always be free.
Which is why we make the most of it.
Air intake system.
The Cayenne models are all
equipped with a resonance air
intake system. This simple
technology uses the pressure
waves generated by the inlet
valves to ‘force’ air into the engine.
The effect is enhanced in
the Cayenne, Cayenne S and
Cayenne GTS by a two-stage
intake manifold. This combines all
the benefits of a long intake tube
(higher torque at low rpm) with
those of a shorter length (more
power at higher rpm). On theCayenne GTS, performance is
enhanced by optimised airflow
management in the intake manifold.
Although ‘naturally aspirated’,
the Cayenne, Cayenne S and
Cayenne GTS provide high torque
ratings across the entire engine
speed range.
Drive
Pressure is often the key to performance.
Turbocharging system in the Cayenne Turbo.
The Porsche Turbo is synonymous
with performance, exhilarating
acoustics and the finest engineering.
The Cayenne Turbo has twin
turbocharger units arranged in
parallel. The low-volume intake
pipes combine with short exhaust
manifolds to achieve a rapid,
emphatic response.
Incoming air is passed through a
filter and compressed by the turbine
units. Its temperature is then
reduced in the intercooler system,
which improves cylinder charging
and limits thermal loads on the
engine.
Boost pressure reaches 1.8 bar
(absolute pressure) under full
acceleration from just 2,500 rpm.In normal road driving (part-throttle
mode), the pre-throttle boost
pressure is reduced in order
to
maximise fuel economy. When
the car is driven more assertively,
the
turbines are ‘pre-spun’ so
as to increase the pressure
available. When the throttle is
finally opened, the boost can
be applied immediately.
Both turbo units are cooled by
dedicated circuits from the main
engine cooling system.This solutionprevents oil degradation due to
overheating.
For the driver, the result is
seamless delivery of phenomenal
power and torque.

Drive
The convenience of an automatic.
The excitement of a sequential gearbox.
Six-speed Tiptronic S.
Each gearshift point is automatically
selected based on current road
conditions and driving style.
Within a short space of time,
you’ll develop a feel for the
system and begin to influence
gearshifts using the throttle alone.
The benefits of Tiptronic S are most
apparent in high-performance driving.
The immediacy of response, with
practically no interruption in drive,
is comparable with that of a manual
gearbox.
Tiptronic S automatically selects
the optimum gearshift pattern,
even in low-range mode. The
low-range gearing is available at
speeds of up to 15 km / h (9 mph).
You can also return to high-range
mode at up to 30 km / h (19 mph).
For complete manual control,
simply slot into manual and use
the gearshift controls on the
steering wheel. If you prefer, you
can use the gear selector lever
on the centre console. Even in
automatic mode, you can change
gear manually via the rocker
controls on the steering wheel.
If there is no further manual
input for a period of 8 seconds,
the system reverts to automatic
mode.
One of the special features in
Tiptronic S is standby control.
When the car is stationary in an
active gear position and with the
foot brake applied, the input
clutch automatically disconnects
the engine from the driveline,
thereby reducing fuel consumption.
Other useful functions include
a warm-up programme which
temporarily suppresses upshifts
in order to accelerate warm-up
in the catalysts and thus reduce
emissions. If rapid throttle inputs
are detected, the system automat-
ically selects the ‘Sport’ gearshift
pattern, i.e., there is no need to
use a ‘kickdown’ function. When
the throttle is released quickly, e.g.,
on entering a corner, unwanted
downshifts are prevented.
Mid-corner gearshifts are also
suppressed, enhancing stability
and safety.Under heavy braking, Tiptronic S
shifts down to maximise engine
braking. An incline sensor enables
better uphill acceleration and
better engine braking on descent.
Another special feature, Porsche
Hill Holder, permits easy hill starts
without the need to use the brakes.
The gearbox cooling system is
specifically designed to match
the performance, transport,
towing and off-road capabilities
of all Cayenne models.
Tiptronic S is standard equipment
on the Cayenne Turbo and optional
on the other three models. The
six forward ratios transmit power
with smoothness, efficiency and
precision – whatever your choice
of terrain.
In automatic mode, the gearshift
maps range from maximum
economy to maximum performance.
