2008 PORSCHE CAYENNE fuel reserve

Plus selects the higher lift setting
and retards valve timing.
At medium revs and minimal
load, the valve lift is lowered and
timing advanced to minimise
fuel consumption and emissions.
At low engine speeds in particular,
VarioCam Plus significantly
The V6 engine in the Cayenne
features variable valve timing on
both inlet and exhaust.
The camshaft phase angles are
continuously varied by the engine
Increasing torque.
Reducing fuel consumption.
VarioCam Plus in the V8 and V8 turbo engines. The epitome of adaptability. And that’s just the engine.

adjusters.
Each cylinder has four valves
actuated by roller cam followers
featuring hydraulic valve clearance
adjustment. The results: high
specific power and torque – even
at low engine speeds. Above all,
this technology improves fuel
economy while further reducing
emissions.
Drive
improves fuel economy. To achieve
maximum power and torque, the
valve lift is raised and the timing
advanced.
Overall, the system offers
greater reserves of power and
torque with relatively modest
fuel consumption.
VarioCam Plus creates two engines
out of one by steplessly adjusting
the inlet valve timing and lift.
The system differentiates between
normal road usage and performance
driving, adapting seamlessly as
driver inputs change. All functions
are automatically controlled by
the engine management system.
All
you experience is responsive
acceleration and ultra-smooth
running characteristics.
The valve lift system consists of
electro-hydraulically switchable
tappets.
Inlet valve timing is steplessly
varied using rotary-vane adjusters.
To improve response when starting
from cold for example, VarioCam
