2010 PORSCHE CAYENNE fold seats

The front wheel arches are
extremely well defined, while
the ‘power­domed’ engine lid
further underlines the sheer
power and resolution within –
this is particularly dominant
on the Cayenne Turbo. Other
distinguishing features include
the visibly drawn ­in flanks. The sharper profile exudes
eagerness and determination,
which is further emphasised by
the dynamic rear roof pillars
and flowing coupé
­like silhouet te.
The rear wheel arches are t ypical
of a sportscar, streamlined and
muscular, while the contoured
roof spoiler pays homage to the
Carrera GT. Further proof of how
harmoniously our performance
concept has been integrated into
our design philosophy – across
the entire model range. The tapered rear screen and
streamlined rear section underline
the flared wheel arches – for a
t ypically distinctive rear view.
The exterior is unmistakably
Porsche. The inside too. But not in
the way you are used to perhaps.
The desire to achieve greater
agilit y, flexibilit y and everyday
practicalit y has led to a complete
revision of the interior (p. 78
onwards): clearly inspired by the
Carrera GT, the centre console
now rises to meet the dashboard
– for an even more involving
drive.
The rear cabin area is larger and
more variable than before. It
features split ­folding seats with
fore/aft adjustment and adjust ­
able backrest angle – for extra
legroom and greater comfort.
In addition, a wide range of
new materials has been used.
Practically every thing has been
changed. But one thing remains
the same: the focus on you and
your passengers.
The contours of the front section
draw the eye, reflecting the car’s
excellent dynamics at first glance.
The elongated engine lid is clearly
reminiscent of Porsche racecars
from the 1960s.
When you look at someone’s face,
you see much more than their
external features. We are proud to
say, it ’s the same with the new
Cayenne models. In fact, what you
see is more sports performance
than ever before.
Children can give you a great deal of joy.
Even more so when they’ve inherited your finest characteristics.

The new Cayenne

When we launched the first
Cayenne in 2002, it was met with
great scepticism. Can it still be
considered a Porsche at all? Our
reply: never before in the history
of the company, has a model
gone from 0 to 100,000 sold
units so quickly. And even more
importantly, the Cayenne has
conquered the SUV market by
demonstrating that exceptional
sportscar performance is not
just restricted to the road.
The basic concept is therefore
the same. We’ve just continued to
improve it: the new Cayenne is
now lighter – up to 165 kg1) depend­
ing
on the specification – and also
more dynamic, more comfortable,
and closer to the road than ever
before. Without detracting from
the
qualities required for off ­road
driving or towing heav y loads.
Its naturally aspirated 3.6 ­litre
V6 engine features direct fuel
injection (DFI, p. 38), variable
valve timing on both inlet and
exhaust, and a variable resonance
intake manifold – for a generous
output and excellent fuel
economy. In other words: we have enhanced the performance,
while significantly lowering the
weight, fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions. The figures speak for
themselves: maximum torque of
400 Nm, 220 kW (300 hp), a top
speed of 230 km/ h (143 mph)
and the abilit y to accelerate from
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) in
7.5 se conds. With both fuel con­
sumption and CO
2 emissions

reduced by 20 %.
1), 2) Delivering
this power to the road efficiently,
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 44) combines active all ­
wheel drive
with an electron ically
variable

multi ­plate clutch, auto ­
matic brake dif ferential (ABD) and
anti ­slip regulation (ASR). PTM
ensures the perfect distribution of
drive torque to all four wheels,
whether on long straights, through
tight corners or on surfaces with
dif ferent friction coef ficients: for
dynamic handling
and increased
traction. Drive is transmit ted
through a high ­performance

six ­speed manual gearbox (p. 42),
which ensures optimum progres ­
sion through the gears. The gear
lever throw is short and precise,
with only minimal driver ef fort
required. In addition to the standard
18
­inch Cayenne wheels and
new larger brakes, the Cayenne
can be fit ted with the optional
Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB, p. 64) – for out ­
standing brake performance.
Another key advantage: a total
weight saving of approximately
50 % compared with equivalent
cast ­iron discs.
The generous standard equipment
includes partial ­leather seats,
climate control, the CDR ­31 audio
system with touchscreen, cruise
control and automatic headlight
activation. For added comfort,
there’s also a ‘Welcome Home’
lighting function. When you arrive
at a destination af ter dark, the
headlights remain illuminated for
a user ­defined period, lighting
your path from the car.
In terms of enhancing the
agility
and practicalit y of the
new
Cayenne, the goal we set

ourselves was very clear: even
more Porsche. Let ’s be honest,
would you have expected any ­
thing else?
Everything has changed. Apart from the concept.
