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.

sensors are used to measure a
range of values, including the
rotational speed of all four wheels,
the lateral and longitudinal
acceleration of the car, and
the current steering angle.
If, for example, the rear wheels
threaten to lose traction under
acceleration, a greater proportion
of drive torque is automatically
transmit ted to the front axle by a more positive engagement of
the multi
­plate clutch. In addition,
ASR minimises wheel spin. During
cornering, the required level of
engine torque is distributed to the
front wheels to ensure excellent
lateral stabilit y.
In conjunction with advanced
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM, p. 66), PTM ensures the
perfect distribution of drive
torque for optimum traction in all road scenarios, whether on
long straights, through tight cor
­
ners or on surfaces with dif ferent
friction coef ficients. If one of the
wheels is about to lose traction,
PTM uses the ABD function to
apply the corresponding brake.
As a result, more drive is auto ­
matically transferred to the op­
posite wheel. If both wheels on
one axle are in danger of slipping,
ASR immediately intervenes and
modifies engine output to main ­tain drive. As well as enhancing

increased tendency for the body

happening, thereby improving
stabilit y and occupant comfort. PASM has three setup modes:
‘Comfort ’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport ’.
Whichever one you select, the
system uses a series of sensors
to monitor the movement of the
body. It also gathers data on
lateral acceleration, steering
angle, brake pressure and engine
torque and modifies the damping
force on each individual wheel

in accordance with the selected
mode. PASM remains active at all times.

on the steering angle, steering

PT V Plus optimises steering re ­
sponse and precision by applying

All Cayenne models have internal­
ly vented discs all round, ensuring
consistent performance during
heav y use. The front disc dimen ­
sions (diameter/thickness) are
350 mm/34 mm on the new

Cayenne and new Cayenne Diesel,
360 mm/36 mm on the new
Cayenne S and new Cayenne S

calipers at the front and four ­
piston equivalents at the rear.
The calipers are black on the new
Cayenne and new Cayenne Diesel
and silver on the new Cayenne S
and new Cayenne S Hybrid. On
the new Cayenne Turbo, they
feature a striking red paint finish. Braking is assisted by a tandem
booster and large brake master
cylinder. Further assistance is
provided by PSM (p. 66).

PSM has three additional func­
tions that help reduce braking
distances. If the throt tle pedal
is released suddenly, PSM

automatically readies the braking
system. The pressure in the
brake lines is marginally increased,
bringing each of the pads into
light contact with the correspond ­
ing disc. If the driver goes on
to apply the brakes, the calipers
respond more quickly and the
braking distance is reduced. In an emergency stop – i.e. when
the pressure on the brake pedal
exceeds a certain threshold –
the brake assist function uses the
PSM hydraulics to apply maximum
braking force at all four wheels.
For added safet y, the system
also readies the brakes whenever
a decreasing distance to the
vehicle in front is detected. The
optional adaptive cruise control
and PSM interact to prefill the
brakes.
Even if adaptive cruise control is
inactive, the system registers the
speed of the vehicle in front and
automatically readies the braking
system. In addition, the system
alerts the driver to the decreasing distance by briefly tugging on
the brakes.
PSM also features a trailer
stabilisation function – for a
significant contribution to car
and trailer safet y.
Within the laws of physics, it
compensates for load transfer
caused by throt tle and brake

inputs up to the maximum degree
of lateral acceleration. It also en ­
hances the car’s driving dynamics
and directional stabilit y when
accelerating on inconsistent road
surfaces.
Other features include a special
control strategy in the ABS
for braking on loose surfaces.
By briefly locking the wheels, a wedge is formed ahead of each
t yre which provides additional
purchase to help slow the car,

rows of seats and side impact
protection elements in each

are also available as an option.
Two impact sensors are located
at the front of the car to enable
bet ter detection of a head­on
collision. The driver and front
passenger airbags use a gas
generant based on an organic
propellant. As a result, the air ­
bags are lighter, more compact
and easier to recycle. A roll ­over

additional protection in the event
that the car were to overturn.

The exhaust­gas recirculation on
the Cayenne Diesel routes part

Fuel and fuel economy.
Increasing performance while
enhancing fuel economy. The
new Cayenne comes in a choice
of three dif ferent drive systems
each featuring state ­of ­the ­art
technology for high ef ficiency and
relatively low fuel consumption.
The petrol ­engined models
already operate on fuels with an
ethanol content of up to 10%. The diesel engine is compatible
with a biodiesel blend of max. 7%.
This further improves the carbon
dioxide balance since the plants
grown for the production of
biofuels absorb carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere. As you
can see, for the benefit of the
environment, we are continually
working on making our cars more
ef ficient – as well as compatible
with alternative fuels. While
ensuring that they remain one
thing: a thoroughbred Porsche.
Fuel system.
We have also applied the highest
standards in order to protect
the environment from fuel

This is further aided by the rapid
