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 Cayenne Turbo comes with
Bi-Xenon headlights featuring
dynamic range control and
integrated cleaning, as well as
static and dynamic cornering
lights.
The dynamic cornering light
function uses the road speed,
yaw velocity (speed of rotation
around the vertical axis) and
steering angle to calculate the
course of each corner. The system

Headlight system.
Safety
The static cornering lights are
extremely useful when turning at
a junction, even at lower speeds.
Depending on the amount of
steering lock applied, they can
illuminate an unlit side street.
The new daytime running lights
(dipped-beam headlights and side-
lights) can be set to automatically
activate when the car is started.
Headlight (Cayenne, Cayenne S and
Cayenne GTS)
All Cayenne models have round
H11 foglights on the front apron.
Other exterior lights.
The rear lights are designed as
one-piece modules. The reversing
lights, brake lights and high-level
third brake light feature high-speed
LEDs.The doors and tailgate are fitted
with red safety lights. An additional
pair of indicators are located in the
front wheel arches, where they are
visible from the front, side and rear
of the car.
Cornering light function on Bi-Xenon headlights
then calculates the optimum
angle of illumination for the swivel-
mounted Bi-Xenon lights up to a
maximum of 15°. Visibility is much
improved in every corner and
potential obstacles are easier to
identify. The system is also available
as an option on the Cayenne,
Cayenne S and Cayenne GTS.
Headlight (Cayenne Turbo)
It’s always a pleasure taking
corners in a Porsche. Especially
now they’re so visible at night.
The Cayenne, Cayenne S and
Cayenne GTS are all equipped
as standard with an H7 projector-
beam headlight system featuring
manual range control and
reflection high-beam lights.
Sidelights and indicators are
neatly combined as rectangular
units in the outer air intakes.

Our ongoing development of the
lightweight steel body is key to the
rigidity of the Porsche Cayenne.
The triple-skin structure with
robust three-box sections provides
exceptional strength and occupant
protection, particularly in the
all-important roof area.
In the event of an accident, a
system of side and cross-members
at the front of the car helps to
channel impact energy in a safe
and predetermined manner. Energy
is absorbed by a three-tier
deformation zone that shields the
passenger
cell. In areas with only
limited capacity for deformation,
the interior is protected by high-
tensile steel reinforcements,
including side intrusion beams in
each of the doors.
Safety is more than skin deep.
Bodyshell construction.
Safety
With its combination of high
strength and consistent deformation
properties, the multiphase steel
used throughout the body fulfils two
key safety requirements. Tailored
blanks are employed in a number
of areas to form effective crash
protection structures, e.g., around
the longitudinal members and roof
rails.
Result: the Cayenne models comply
with all legal requirements for all
types of crash protection, including
frontal, side, diagonal and rear
impact, as well as roll-over damage
and frontal or side post impact.Super high-strength steel
