response, even at low revs and
road speeds. This is particularly
useful when driving in urban
traf fic. The supercharger has a
lowtemperature water cooling
system for cooling the charge air.
Variable Turbine Geometry in
the new Cayenne Diesel.
The turbocharger in the new
Cayenne Diesel features Variable
Turbine Geometry (V TG). The
gas flow from the engine is
channelled onto the turbines via
electronically adjustable guide
vanes. By changing the vane
angle, the system can replicate
the geometry in all t ypes of
turbo, large or small, and thus
achieve the optimum gas flow characteristics. As a result, even
at low engine rpm, the turbine
speed is maximised. For a sig
nificant increase in boost pres
sure, excellent cylinder charging
plus greater power and torque.
Electronic engine management.
Cultured performance in all
driving scenarios requires com
prehensive engine control. The
electronic engine management
system does this by continually
monitoring the relevant input data
from a variet y of sophisticated
sensors. This data is then com
pared with a corresponding set of
reference values. Based on this
information, a range of key engine
functions, e.g. ignition and in
jection timings as well as injection
quantities, are seamlessly and
automatically adjusted. Other
major functions include automatic
compensation for changes in fuel
qualit y and control of the variable
tract intake manifold. On the
new Cayenne Turbo, the engine management system also regu
lates the turbo boost pressure.
The results:
optimum fuel eco
n
omy and lower CO
2 emissions as
well as greater power and torque
at all times.
Exhaust system.
The light weight exhaust systems
in the new Cayenne models are
made from special, long life stain
less steel. The key features of
the catalysts are high ef ficiency,
faster warm up and a long service
life. The sports exhaust system
1)
available as an option on the
new Cayenne and new Cayenne S
provides an even more distinctive
sound. The package also includes
a specially designed set of t win
dual tube tailpipes. All exhaust
systems, standard and sports,
comply with the strict EU5 emis
sions legislation.

Turbocharging system in the
new Cayenne Turbo.
In the new Cayenne Turbo, the
engine is assisted by t win turbo
charger units arranged in parallel
– one for each bank of cylinders.
Incoming air is passed through
a filter and compressed by the
turbine units. Its temperature is
then reduced in the t win inter
cooler system, which improves
cylinder charging and limits
thermal loads on the engine.
Supercharging system in the
new Cayenne S Hybrid.
The engine in the new Cayenne S
Hybrid is equipped with a
supercharger. For a more direct
Air intake system.
The Cayenne models are all
equipped with a resonance air
intake system. This technology
uses the pressure waves
generated by the inlet valves
to ‘force’ air into the engine.
The ef fect is enhanced in the new
Cayenne and new Cayenne S by
a t wo stage intake manifold. This
variable geometry 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).
The result: highly impressive
torque ratings across the entire
engine speed range.

Thanks to singlespark coils on
each of the cylinders, the entire
ignition system on the petrol
engined models, with the
exception of the spark plugs,
is maintenance free.
These modest service require
ments mean less waste disposal
and fewer demands on natural
resources. They also lower the
cost of ownership while keeping
your car on the road. The new Cayenne S Hybrid
doesn’t require any additional
servicing.
Service intervals for the Cayenne
models are dependent on a range

Materials and recycling.
Owning a Porsche should be a
lasting pleasure with minimal
impact on the environment. This
Porsche principle can be summed
up in one word: sustainabilit y.
The light weight exhaust on the
Cayenne models, for example,
is constructed from long life
stainless steel.
Every Porsche model is entirely
free of asbestos, CFCs and
components manufactured using
CFCs. All legal requirements in
respect of recycling are fulfilled.
Materials are clearly labelled for subsequent identification and
sorting to facilitate ef ficient
recycling.
While more than 95
% of the car
can be recycled using current
technologies, the chances are
your new Cayenne may never
need recycling at all. After all,
t wo thirds of all the cars we have
ever made are still on the road
t o day.

Servicing.
With lengthy service intervals
and long life components, vehicle
maintenance is kept to a min
imum. In the case of the oil filter,
for example, all that ’s replaced
is an easily recyclable paper
element. The oil filter casing
remains on the car.
All moving parts inside the engine
are fully self adjusting. The valve
clearances, for instance, feature
automatic hydraulic control.
Noise.
As paradoxical as it may seem,
the distinctive Porsche sound is
also created by what you don’t
hear – the absence of unwanted
noise. Naturally, its main origin is
deep within the engine. But that ’s
not all. Our holistic approach
to vehicle design also extends
to the acoustics. Which is why
we’ve optimised them for the
entire car.
To minimise ‘play’ bet ween com
ponents, we’ve used stronger,
lighter and more temperature
resistant materials. This reduces
mechanical noise. Large volume
silencers and air intake manifolds
also help to eliminate noise –
throughout the life of the car.
Tyre noise has been drastically
reduced in collaboration with
our of ficial t yre partners. Wind
noise levels have also been
lowered thanks to aerodynamic
refinements.
All that remains is a sound that is
pure Porsche.
