standard on the new Cayenne
Turbo. Optional for all other
Cayenne models.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis
Control (PDCC).
Available as an option in conjunc ­
tion with air suspension, Porsche
Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
is an active anti ­roll system
that further enhances the extra­
ordinary road holding and
precision handling of the new
Cayenne models.
PDCC anticipates and significantly
reduces lateral body movement
when cornering. This is achieved
with the aid of the active anti ­roll
bars featuring hydraulic swivel
motors on the front and rear
axles. The system responds to
the current steering angle and
lateral acceleration by producing
a stabilising force that precisely
negates the swaying force of the
body. The benefits are greater agilit y
at every speed, more responsive
steering, stable load transfer
characteristics and enhanced
occupant comfort. When off
­road
mode is selected via a switch in
the centre console, this allows
the t wo halves of each anti ­roll
bar to rotate further in opposition
to each other. This in turn enables
greater wheel articulation and ensures that each individual
wheel has more contact with
the ground, improving traction
on uneven surfaces.
Optional for the new Cayenne,
new Cayenne S and new
Cayenne Turbo.

The new Cayenne models can be
equipped with an air suspension
system featuring self ­levelling,
ride ­height control and PASM – for
enhanced driving dynamics and
comfort. The self ­levelling facilit y
maintains a constant ground clear ­
ance, which can easily be adjust ­
ed using the ride ­height control
on the centre console:
