2010 PORSCHE CAYENNE suspension

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.

Available on the Cayenne,
Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S

and Cayenne Turbo, this function
readies the car for of f ­road use
or reverts the set ting to normal
road driving.
In Of f ­road Mode 1, for example,
the maps for all relevant
systems, e.g. ABS, are adapted
to provide optimum traction. In
addition, Porsche Hill Control

is activated and High Level I is
selected on vehicles featuring air
suspension with PASM. If that ’s
not enough, the air suspension
can be raised further to High
Level II to increase the approach/
departure angle and wading depth.
Push the of f ­road control forward
again on the Cayenne, Cayenne S
and Cayenne Turbo to activate
Off ­road Mode 2 – for even great ­
er traction on dif ficult terrain,
the multi ­plate clutch can be fully
locked.
The electronically variable rear
differential on the optional
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PT V Plus) is integrated within
the all ­wheel drive system. This
automatically ensures the opti ­mum distribution of drive torque
on particularly uneven surfaces.
If one of the rear wheels begins
to slip, the rear dif ferential varies
the amount of torque transmit ted
through each drive shaf t, thereby
restoring traction. In Of f
­road
Mode 3, the rear dif ferential can
be manually locked using the main
of f ­road control. Then both rear
wheels receive the same amount
of torque, regardless of surface
conditions. The optional PDCC
(p. 53) enables greater wheel
articulation in all three modes,
improving traction still further.
For effective prevention of dam ­
age to the underside of the car,
all new Cayenne models can be
equipped with optional of f ­road
underbody protection comprising
rock rails with integrated skid plates, a reinforced engine
­bay
guard, additional protection
for fuel tank and rear axle, and
a second towing lug.
Operating concept.
With the help of Porsche Traction
Management (PTM), the Cayenne
can cope with even the most
demanding of f ­road scenarios.
Simply move the main of f ­road
control on the centre console
forward or backward to select
one of up to three off ­road
modes (depending on the model).
Steep ascents leading to snow
­
covered mountain lodges, boggy
ground or muddy, loose surfaces
– all situations that the Cayenne
handles superbly with intelligent
all ­wheel drive. The drive systems
featured on the new Cayenne
models deliver exceptional torque.

Chassis.
In of f­road terrain, PT V Plus
reduces wheel spin on the rear
wheels – even when towing heav y
trailer loads. The electronically
controlled rear dif ferential can
be fully locked using the of f ­road
control on the centre console.
Optional for the new Cayenne,
new Cayenne S and new
Cayenne Turbo.
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping
control system. It of fers con­
tinuous adjustment of individual
damping forces based on current
road conditions and driving st yle.
During performance driving or
heav y of f ­road use, there is an
increased tendency for the body
to sway. PASM prevents this from
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.
It automatically adapts to the
prevailing driving conditions,

enabling greater car control and
improving comfort and safet y.
Optional for the new Cayenne,
new Cayenne Diesel, new
Cayenne S and new Cayenne S
Hybrid. Standard on the new
Cayenne Turbo: air suspension
with PASM.
This transfers drive torque to the
outside rear wheel which supports
the steering motion of the car,
thereby improving its cornering
dynamics.
At slow and medium speeds, PT V
Plus considerably enhances agilit y
and steering precision. At high
speeds, during fast cornering and
under wheel spin, the mechanical
limited ­slip rear differential
ensures additional stabilit y. Also
on variable ­grip surfaces, in the
wet and on snow, PT V Plus –
combined with Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) and Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM) –
provides a major contribution to
active safety.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).
A new system for enhancing
driving dynamics and stabilit y,
PT V Plus offers variable distribu ­
tion of engine torque to the rear
wheels and mechanical limited ­
slip rear dif ferential. Depending
on the steering angle, steering
speed, throt tle pedal position,
yaw velocit y and vehicle speed,
PT V Plus optimises steering re ­
sponse and precision by applying
brake pressure to the left or right
rear wheel, as required.
Specifically, this means that when
entering a corner at high speed,
moderate brake pressure is
applied to the inside rear wheel.

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.
1. High Level II.

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:

high­mounted upper arms are now
in aluminium. This axle design
ensures accurate wheel location,
greater agilit y and minimal inter ­
ference on uneven surfaces.
The subframe is secured on large
rubber mountings that reduce
road noise to a minimum. It is
also specially constructed to
increase stabilit y. For enhanced comfort and even greater active
and passive safet y. In the event
of an impact, the subframe
deforms in a predefined manner.

Rear axle.
The rear axle features multi
­link
suspension. Ideal for performance
road and track use, it also copes
well with the extremely high
towing and carrying loads that
are possible with each Cayenne.
The suspension struts are angled
to allow longer suspension travel
and create a deeper and wider
cargo area. As well as providing
additional space, the car is also
easier to load. The rear axle design minimises
dive and squat under acceleration
and braking. It also improves mid
­
corner stabilit y and compensates
for sudden load transfer. In short:
it enables a more relaxed way
of driving. Examples of intelligent
light weight construction on the
rear axle include hollow drive
shafts.
Steering.
The steering system has been
completed revised and adapted
for a sportier driving st yle.
Around the straight ­ahead pos­
ition, in particular, the ratio is
now more direct. With the variable
steering ratio and special valve
set tings on the power ­steering
system, optimum manoeuvrabilit y
is ensured. The turning circle of
the new Cayenne models is just
11.9 metres.
The steering column itself
consists of multiple collapsing
sections linked by t wo universal
joints and a special deformation
element provides additional safet y
in the event of a front impact. Electro
­hydraulic power steering
is used for the first time on the
Cayenne S Hybrid. The demand ­
driven pump only provides
assistance to the steering as
and when required, thereby

contributing to overall efficiency.
Servotronic.
Servotronic is a speed ­sensitive
power steering system.
At higher speeds, the steering
becomes firmer, inputs are more
precise and driver comfort is
enhanced. At lower speeds, it
enables easy manoeuvrability
and parking.
Standard on the new Cayenne S
Hybrid. Optional for the new
Cayenne, new Cayenne Diesel,
new Cayenne S and new
Cayenne Turbo.
