features include Bi-Xenon main
headlights with the Porsche
Dynamic Light System (PDLS,
p. 61). For greater comfor t and
performance, the car is equipped
as standard with eight-speed
Tiptronic S (p. 42), while Porsche
Torque Vectoring Plus (PT V Plus,
p. 50) enhances driving dynamics
and stabilit y.
As always, we’ve focused on
what ’s really important. To the
point: the Cayenne models.through the use of advanced
technologies such as direct fuel
injection (DFI, p. 38), eight-speed
Tiptronic S (p. 42) and VarioCam
Plus (p. 37). The interaction
bet ween all components has
also been optimised.
Another of our principles: high
performance should never come
at the expense of comfort or
safet y, and this is something we
have kept to. Even with a car
of fering the phenomenal output
of the Cayenne Turbo. Its 4.8-litre
V8 powerplant develops 500 hp,
which is guaranteed to set pulse
rates climbing and send a shiver
down the spine – both natural
reactions in a turbocharged
Porsche. Standard active safet y
performance combined with
excellent fuel economy.
Once again, t ypically Porsche.
The Cayenne Diesel is no excep-
tion. The drive system is based
on the tried-and-tested Porsche
principle. We’ve just refined the
concept, making it even lighter
and more powerful. This is
what we call Porsche Intelligent
Performance.
The Cayenne and Cayenne S
offer increased power and
efficiency,
while also delivering
exceptional capabilit y of f road.
The result: greater driving pleasure
with reduced fuel consumption
and CO2 emissions. On and off road.
This has also been achieved
The most innovative – and
therefore in keeping with the rest
of the Porsche family – is the
Cayenne S Hybrid. Its parallel full
hybrid system (p. 28) harnesses
the power of an electric machine
(motor/generator) and an internal
combustion engine. This provides
several clear benefits for the
driver: outstanding sportscar
them more dynamic, ef ficient,
practical and comfor table than
ever before. Fuel consumption has
been reduced by up to 23 % and
CO
2 emissions by up to 26 % (de-
pending on the model). This was
achieved thanks to the Cayenne
models being
considerably lighter,
with each one weighing up to 185 kg
less than the respective previous
model. They also feature a host of
advanced technologies such as
the auto start /stop function (p. 36).
For increased comfort and
safet y, Lane Change Assist
(LCA, p. 105) and adaptive
cruise control (p. 104) are
available as an option. Ensuring
a phenomenal sound experience
in every seat position is the
optional Burmester
® High-End
Surround Sound System (p. 94).
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.
The second -generation Cayenne
too has firmly established itself
in the SUV market, demonstrating
that exceptional sportscar per-
formance is not just restricted to
the road, while the first Cayenne
Diesel proved once more that we
are not afraid to follow unconven-
tional paths.
The success story continued to
gather momentum in 2010 – with
Porsche Intelligent Performance.
The sum of the ideas inherent
in every Porsche. Ideas that have
led us to develop new drive sys-
tems, enhancing the emotional
appeal of our vehicles and making
Those who develop talent reap the reward.
Sometimes in more ways than one.
The Cayenne models.
12 · The Cayenne | Model range

Specially custom-engineered
for the Cayenne models, the
system features a total of
14 loudspeakers (including active
subwoofer and centre-fill speaker)
that combine with a 585-wat t
9-channel amplifier to produce
a powerful sound experience.
In combination with Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM), the BOSE
® Surround
Sound System enables playback
of audio DVDs, making full use
of the impressive sound spectrum
of 5.1 digital recordings. Of
course, you can still play other
audio sources such as CDs and MP3s. In stereo or, at the push
of a but ton, in one of the virtual
surround modes generated by
BOSE® Centerpoint® 2 technology.
The BOSE®- patented AudioPilot®
noise compensation technology
uses a microphone in the cockpit
to monitor ambient sound. The
system is then able to provide
real-time adjustment of all audio
output – for a more consistent
aural experience. Standard on the Cayenne Turbo.
Optional for all other Cayenne
models.
compatible with both Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM) and the CDR-31 audio
system.

Adaptive cruise control.
Optional on all Cayenne models,
adaptive cruise control regulates
the speed of your vehicle in line
with that of the vehicle in front. To
do that, the system uses a radar
sensor in the central air intake
to monitor the road up to 200 m
ahead. If you approach another vehicle
that is travelling slower than
your selected cruising speed,
the system slows the engine or
gently applies the brakes. This
continues until the distance that
you have preset is maintained.
If heavier braking is required, the
driver has to actively intervene. Your vehicle will now follow the
one in front at a reduced speed.
If the other vehicle decelerates
further, adaptive cruise control
will continue to reduce your speed
– even down to a halt. When the
road ahead is free once more,
the car automatically returns
to your selected cruising speed bet ween 30 and 210 km/ h
(19 and 130 mph). To pull away
after an automatic stop, simply
use the control lever or depress
the accelerator pedal.
For added safet y, the system also
readies the brakes whenever a
decreasing distance to the vehicle
in front is detected. Adaptive
cruise control and PSM (p. 66)
interact to prefill the brakes.
The system visually and audibly
alerts the driver in the event
of a critical decrease in distance
and briefly tugs on the brakes.
Optional for all Cayenne
models.
Lane Change Assist (LCA).
Lane Change Assist (LCA )
monitors the area behind the
vehicle and the blind spot using
radar sensors. At speeds of 30 km/ h (19 mph) or
more, the system alerts the driver
of a vehicle in the blind spot or
approaching quickly from behind
via a visual signal from the
exter ior mirrors. This enhances
comfort and safet y, particularly
when driving on the motorway.
However, LCA does not actively
intervene in the
controlling of
the vehicle and can be deactivated
at any time.
Optional for all Cayenne
models.
