2010 PORSCHE CAYENNE height

The Porsche ‘S’ has long been
a mark of heightened sports per­
formance and abundant reserves
of power. On the Cayenne S, it
also stands for strength, agilit y
and efficiency.
At the heart of the car is a natur­
ally aspirated 4.8 ­litre V8 engine
featuring direct fuel injection
(DFI, p. 38), VarioCam Plus (p. 37)
and a t wo ­stage intake manifold.
This helps to keep fuel consump ­
tion and emissions low, while
ensuring maximum output. In
short: 294 kW (400 hp), maximum
torque of 500 Nm and a top
speed of 258 km/ h (160 mph).
The Cayenne S accelerates from
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) in as
lit tle as 5.9 seconds. Fuel con ­
sumption has been reduced by
up to 23 % and CO
2 emissions by
as much as 26 %.
1), 2) The weight
of the car has also been lowered
by 180 kg
1). Drive is transmit ted to the road
with smoothness and precision
by the eight
­speed Tiptronic S,
which is now standard equipment
and includes gearshif t controls
on the steering wheel. The result:
optimum use of the available
power reserves.
Of course, to apply exceptional
power like this ef fectively, it
needs to be harnessed and con ­
trolled. For example, by Porsche
Traction Management (PTM,
p. 44). On the new Cayenne S,
this active all ­wheel drive system
features an electronically variable,
map ­controlled multi ­plate clutch,
an automatic brake differential
(ABD, p. 44) and anti ­slip regu­
lation (ASR, p. 44). Working
in conjunction with advanced
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM, p. 66), PTM ensures the
required torque split in every
driving scenario. On or of f road. During performance driving,

as well as on leisurely journeys
or when towing heav y loads.
The black slats on the air intakes
make them appear larger, and
the car wider. Other distinctive
features include the 18 ­inch
Cayenne S III wheels.
The Porsche ‘S’. A mark to which
the new Cayenne S holds true.
Distinctly new, yet holding true – to Porsche.

Understatement coupled with
clear statements: lower fuel
consumption, faster acceleration.
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
2 5 % .

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.

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

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:

totally new on the Cayenne: the
five round instruments now form
the familiar cluster and are slight

a visual unit. The high ­resolution
4.8 ­inch TFT colour screen
displays information from the on ­
board computer or, in conjunction
with PCM including navigation
module, map data from the navi ­
gation system. It also shows the
set tings of the optional adaptive
cruise control or gives various
warnings, such as alerts from Tyre
Pressure Monitoring (TPM), which
is also available as an option. On the new Cayenne S Hybrid, the
display also provides information
about the energy management.
Oil pressure, oil and coolant
temperature as well as the fuel
level are displayed using analogue
gauges, while the boost pressure
gauge on the new Cayenne Turbo
is digital. A compass display in
the instrument cluster is available
as an option in conjunction with
PCM. This shows the four cardinal
and four ordinal directions with
degree increments as well as your
current altitude.
The steering column offers man­
ual height and reach adjustment
(electrically adjustable on the
new Cayenne Turbo). The steering
wheel rim is in smooth
­finish
leather. As is the optional three ­
spoke sports steering wheel with
gearshif t paddles – for genuine
