Since the company was founded
in 1948, we have always gone
our own way. This is the hallmark
of our independent spirit. Only
thus can we continue to meet
our high performance standards.
And yours. For the new Cayenne S
Hybrid we chose a highly sophisti
cated technical concept, as we
felt that this would perfectly
embody the key principle of an
alternative drive: ef ficiency.
The new parallel full hybrid drive
(p. 28) on the new Cayenne S
Hybrid features a 3.0 litre V6
supercharged engine and an elec
tric machine (motor/generator)
that provides add itional power on
demand. It offers levels of accel
eration that are comparable with
a V8 unit, but with a reduction of
up to 22 % in both fuel consump
tion and CO
2 emissions.1), 2) The
engine delivers 245 kW (333 hp),
while the electric machine gener
ates 34 kW (47 hp). Working
in tandem, they produce a total
output of 279 kW (380 hp).
With a top speed of 242 km/ h
(150 mph), acceler ation from
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) takes
6.5 seconds. Maximum torque
is 580 Nm.
On the parallel full hybrid system,
the electric machine and a
decoupler are integrated directly
into the drivetrain bet ween the
combustion engine and the eight
speed Tiptronic S. The decoupler
ensures positive engagement with
the combustion engine, thereby
offering several benefits –
both for the driver and the
environment.
Under moderate acceleration, the
electric machine can power the
vehicle independently. In order to
drive quietly through residential
areas, for example. The generator
can also be used to recuperate
energy during braking, i.e. for
charging the bat tery.
In addition, the electric machine
can be used to boost perform
ance – for faster acceleration,
particularly when pulling away.
Other energy saving features
include the car’s abilit y to glide
along, even when the engine is
turned of f. The hybrid system
therefore also brings significant
advantages when not driving in
urban traffic, as the vehicle can
simply ‘coast’ along many stretches of road without any power at all.
Together with the auto start /stop
function, the parallel full hybrid
system offers exceptional levels
of performance and efficiency.
The ‘hybrid’ designation on each
front wing is a discreet reference
to the innovative drive concept
within.
Inside the car, the TFT colour
display in the instrument cluster
provides information on the
current energy flow. Further
driving data is displayed via the
optional Porsche Communication
Management (PCM).
But the greatest benefit of all:
the new Cayenne S Hybrid
is a Porsche. And it drives like
one too.
We continually swim against the tide.
So you can ‘coast’ home.

Understatement coupled with
clear statements: lower fuel

Supreme engineering that speaks
for itself. In short, every thing
you’d expect from a Turbo.
Another clear statement is the
distinctive sound from the t win
dualtube tailpipes. Produced by
the 4.8 litre t win turbo V8 engine
that delivers 368 kW (500 hp)
and features direct fuel injection
(DFI, p. 38). The car has a top
speed of 278 km/ h (173 mph)
and the benchmark sprint from
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) is com
pleted in 4.7 seconds. Maximum
torque is 700 Nm. Here too, fuel
consumption has been reduced
by
23 % and CO2 emissions by

Optimum traction and safet y are
provided by Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 44) active
all wheel drive. Also connecting
the car to the road are the new
19 inch Cayenne Turbo wheels. The chassis on the new Cayenne
Turbo is equipped as standard
with air suspension
featuring self
levelling and ride height control,
as well as Porsche Active Suspen
sion Management
(PASM, p. 51).
This electronic damping control
system offers continuous adjust
ment of the damping forces
on each wheel – depending on
current road conditions and
driving st yle.
This enables greater
car control, improving safet y and
comfort.
Comfort is also key in the new
Cayenne Turbo interior. Standard
equipment comprises an interior
package in smooth finish leather,
a rooflining in Alcantara and an
electrically adjustable steering
column.
Also fit ted as standard: the
BOSE® Surround Sound System,
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) with navi
gation module, adaptive sports
seats with comfort memor y
package (18 way), Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM, p. 57), auto
matic headlight activation and
automatically dimming exterior
and interior mirrors.
Exterior features exclusive to
the new Cayenne Turbo include
Bi
Xenon headlights with Porsche
Dynamic Light System (PDLS,
p. 61), larger air intakes and a
distinctive ‘power dome’ on the
engine lid – a clear reference to
the enormous potential within.
Based on the same solid
foun
dations as its predecessor,
the new Cayenne Turbo blends
phenomenal performance with
comfort and ef ficiency. It does
so in st yle but without ever
compromising on any one in
particular. Because we believe
that less can also mean more.
Reduced weight, lower fuel consumption, fewer emissions.
At Porsche, we believe less is more.

How could we make the new
Cayenne more powerful and yet,
at the same time, more efficient?
Where should we start? It ’s
obvious, really. 1948 – where
else? That ’s when the values
that we hold so dearly today –
and will continue to do so in
the future – were established.
Af ter all, is there any thing wrong
with having progressive concepts,
social responsibilit y and a clear
direction?

Working in tandem, both units
provide a total output of 279 kW
(380 hp) and maximum torque
of 580 Nm. The new Cayenne S
Hybrid is propelled from 0 to
100 km/ h (62 mph) in 6.5 sec
onds. These are the levels of
acceleration you would usually
expect from an eight cylinder unit,
but with fuel consumption of
under 8.2 l/100 km (34.4 mpg)
in the EU cycle.

On the parallel full hybrid system,
the electric machine is integrated
directly into the drivetrain. The
hybrid module is situated bet ween
the transmission and the com
bustion engine. The engine is
engaged and disengaged using
a specially designed decoupler.
The complex interplay bet ween
combustion engine, decoupler,
electric machine and bat tery is
controlled by the electronic engine
management system. It receives
all information on the driving and
energy status and controls both
drive systems to ensure optimum
performance in any driving scen
ario. It shuts of f the combustion
engine and switches it back on.
Thanks to the ultra fast decoupler
and instantaneous engine start
up, all of this goes unnoticed
by the driver.
Under moderate
acceleration, the electric machine
can power the vehicle independ
ently. For example, for driving
quietly through residential areas
using electricity alone. In
addition, it can be used to boost
At 288 Volts, the electric machine
has a maximum output of
34 kW (47 hp). The benefits of the
synchronous motor with inner
rotor design are extremely com
pact dimensions and high levels
of ef ficiency. It also acts as a
starter motor and alternator.
The drive system of the
new Cayenne S Hybrid.
The abilit y to balance the dynamic
interplay of forces has a name:
hybrid drive. The combination
of internal combustion engine
and electric machine has led to
a significant reduction in fuel
consumption. We have opted
for a solution that satisfies our
requirements perfectly: the
parallel full hybrid.
The new Cayenne S Hybrid has a
3.0 litre V6 supercharged engine.
The charging effect of the
compressor ensures high levels
of torque, even at low engine
speeds. The unit generates an
output of 245 kW (333 hp).
440 Nm of torque is available
bet ween 3,000 and 5,250 rpm,
enabling a low rev, economic
driving st yle while offering
exceptional reserves of power.

performance – for faster
acceleration, particularly when
pulling away.
The parallel full hybrid concept
also comes into its own during
performance driving. When
the Cayenne S Hybrid is driven
at high speeds and on overrun,
the combustion engine is auto
matically disengaged from the
drivetrain and shut of f: the car
continues to ‘coast’ along.
Engine drag and the associated
losses are eliminated and efficiency is increased at speeds
of up to 156 km/ h (97 mph).
The ‘e power’ function expands
the range in which the vehicle
can be run solely on electric
power. The throt tle map is adapt
ed so that the combustion engine
is engaged later than in ‘Normal’
mode depending on performance
requirements. This is activated
via a but ton on the centre con

in partthrot tle mode and through
energy recovery during braking.
A special bat tery management
and cooling system maintains
a constant temperature and
pro
tects the bat ter y from over
heating. It also monitors the
charge/discharge processes. As
a result, the life of the bat tery is
optimised and its suitabilit y for
everyday use ensured, while
offering a high capacit y: 1.7 kWh. Systems that are usually depen
dent on the output provided by
the combustion engine, such as
climate control, power steering
and brake assist, run solely on
electricit y on the new Cayenne S
Hybrid. As they do not rely on
output from the engine, these
functions remain active when the
car is running in electric mode or
when it is ‘coasting’ or gliding
along with the engine turned of f.
In summary: despite its six
cylinder powerplant, the new
Cayenne S Hybrid offers per
formance levels that are com
parable with an eight cylinder
unit – but with significantly lower
fuel consumption.
Also when it comes to hybrid
drives, we’ve taken a completely
new path. Hardly surprising really,
with a technology this convincing.
The compact bat tery is located
under the loadspace floor in the
luggage compartment. Weighing
80 kg, its dimensions are
426 mm x 925 mm x 286 mm.
The bat tery is designed to last
without the need for any main
tenance. As the electric machine
also functions as a generator,
it can charge the bat tery under
certain conditions when the
combustion engine is
The hybrid system features a
high
voltage nickel metal hydride
(NiMH) bat tery consisting of
240 cells. It provides the electric
machine with the energy required
for the vehicle to drive short
distances solely on electric
power.

adjusting the inlet valve timing
and lift.
The system dif ferentiates
bet ween normal road usage and
performance driving, adapting
seamlessly as driver inputs
change. All functions are auto
matically controlled by the
engine management system.
All you experience is responsive
acceleration and ultra smooth
running characteristics. Inlet valve
timing is steplessly adjusted. To
improve response when starting
from cold, for example, VarioCam
Plus selects the higher lif t set ting
and retards valve timing.
At medium revs and minimal
load, the valve lif t is lowered and
timing advanced to minimise fuel
consumption and emissions. At
low engine speeds in particular,
VarioCam Plus significantly im
proves fuel economy. To achieve maximum power and torque, the
valve lif t is raised and the timing
advanced.
Overall, the system provides
greater performance with rela
tively modest fuel consumption.
Standard on the new Cayenne S

Variable valve timing.
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 management system
via rotary vane adjusters.
On the new Cayenne S Hybrid, the
inlet valve timing is continuously
adjusted.
The key benefits include bet ter
fuel economy and lower emis
