2011 PORSCHE CAYENNE dashboard

The front wheel arches are
extremely well defined, while
the ‘power-domed’ engine lid
further underlines the sheer
power and resolution within –
this is particularly dominant
on the Cayenne Turbo. Other
distinguishing features include
the visibly drawn - in flanks. The sharper profile exudes
eagerness and determination,
which is further emphasised by
the dynamic rear roof pillars
and flowing coupé-like silhouet te.
The rear wheel arches are t ypical
of a sportscar, streamlined and
muscular, while the contoured
roof spoiler pays homage to the
Carrera GT. Further proof of how
harmoniously our performance
concept has been integrated into
our design philosophy – across
the entire model range. The tapered rear screen and
streamlined rear section underline
the pronounced wheel arches –
f o r a t y p ic a l l y d i st i n c t i v e re a r v i e w.
The exterior is unmistakably
Porsche. The inside too. But not in
the way you are used to perhaps.
The desire to achieve greater
agilit y, flexibilit y and everyday
practicalit y has led to a complete
revision of the interior (p. 78
onwards): another clear reference
to the Carrera GT, the centre
console rises to meet the
dashboard – for an even more
involving drive.
The rear cabin area is larger and
more variable than before. It
features split-folding seats with
fore/aft adjustment and adjust-
able backrest angle – for extra
legroom and greater comfort.
In addition, a wide range of
exclusive materials has been
used. Practically every thing has
been changed. But one thing
remains the same: the focus on
you and your passengers.
The contours of the front section
draw the eye, reflecting the car’s
excellent dynamics at first glance.
The elongated engine lid is clearly
reminiscent of Porsche racecars
from the 1960s.
When you look at someone’s face,
you see much more than their
external features. We are proud
to say, it ’s the same with the
Cayenne models. In fact, what you
see is more sports performance
than ever before.
Children can give you a great deal of joy.
Even more so when they’ve inherited your finest characteristics.

five round instruments form the
familiar cluster and are slightly
raised from the dashboard as
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 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 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-

(electrically adjustable on the
Cayenne Turbo). The steering
wheel rim is in smooth-finish
leather. As is the optional

available as an option, the multi-

easy access to a range of
functions including audio and
telephone.
