2008 PORSCHE CAYENNE display

Versatility. The spirit of the
Cayenne. Superlative performance
on road and track. Exceptional
capability off road. Powerful yet
practical in every scenario. Always
100 % Porsche.
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
on the Cayenne S, Cayenne GTS
and Cayenne Turbo.
The Cayenne range comprises
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.

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
grained leather finish on the
centre armrest. The automatic
air conditioning has separate
controls for the driver and front
passenger as standard.
The Cayenne S. It’s amazing how
much difference one letter can
make.

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.
The interior is a blend of sporting
style and exclusivity: comfort
seats with a comfort memory
package and leather upholstery
as standard. Sports seats are
offered as a no-cost option, also
with a comfort memory package.
The standard BOSE®Surround
Sound System delivers perfect
sound at every seat position.
Other standard features include
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) with satellite
navigation (see page 132).
The cluster of five round instru-
ments in the Cayenne Turbo has
a 5-inch colour display in the
central dial. This provides infor-
mation from a range of systems,
including the on-board computer.
The far right-hand dial contains
the boost pressure gauge.
All interior trim elements in the
Cayenne Turbo have an elegant
satin aluminium finish.
The Cayenne Turbo. Uncom-
promising in performance, a
technological benchmark, yet
practical in everyday use. Virtually
unlimited on or off road – but
always in comfort and safety.

Chassis
Exceptional power requires accurate direction.
Steering.Tough for off road, light for the track, stylish for any terrain.
Wheels.
The electrically adjustable steer-
ing column has a driver-selectable
‘Easy Entry’ function, which raises
the steering wheel towards the
dashboard whenever you enter
or leave the car. The comfort and
sports seat options (standard on
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo)
have a comfort memory package
that stores your preferred
wheel position as well as seat
and exterior mirror settings.
The steering column consists of
multiple collapsing sections linked
by three universal joints. A special
deformation element offering
70 mm of travel provides a high
level of safety in the event of front
impact.
Servotronic.
Servotronic is a speed-sensitive
power steering system available
as an option on all Cayenne
models.
At higher speeds, the steering
becomes firmer, inputs are more
precise and driver comfort is
greatly enhanced.
At lower speeds, it enables easy
manoeuvrability and parking. For optimum manoeuvrability, on
and off road, all Cayenne models
have variable-ratio steering
and special valve settings on
the power-steering system. Lock-
to-lock travel is a modest
2.65 turns, while the turning
circle is just 11.7 metres.
The steering wheel can be adjusted
by 50 mm for reach and 40 mm
for height. Both adjustment options
are electrically assisted on
the Cayenne GTS and Cayenne
Turbo. Electric adjustment is also
available as an option on the
Cayenne and Cayenne S as part
of the optional comfort or sports
seat package (each with comfort
memory package). The optional
padded steering wheel (standard
on Cayenne GTS) brings added
sporting style to each model.

CD/DVD autochanger.
This optional integrated CD/DVD
autochanger replaces the standard
single-disc drive in the CDR-30
CD radio or PCM (DVDs playable
only in PCM). The front-loading
device holds up to six CDs/DVDs
and is easily accessible from

** For information on compatible phones, please consult your Porsche Centre or visit www.porsche.com.
** Mobile phone preparation: using a mobile phone inside the vehicle may expose occupants to heightened levels of electromagnetic radiation.
Vehicles with the mobile phone preparation can also be equipped with a cradle upgrade kit (handset-specific). When the handset is in the cradle,
all calls are connected via an external antenna, thereby reducing interior radiation. For information on upgrade kits for your mobile phone, please
consult your mobile phone accessory retailer. Using the telephone module for PCM avoids exposure to radiation as it also connects to the mobile
phone network via an external antenna.
