2011 PORSCHE CAYENNE four wheel drive

At Porsche, we are continually
changing. Looking for a new and
dif ferent approach. Without ever
losing sight of where we’ve come
from. That ’s how we remain true
to ourselves.
The basic Cayenne concept is
therefore the same. We’ve just
continued to improve it: the
Cayenne is
now lighter – up to
165 kg
1) depending on the speci-
fication
– and also more dynamic,
more comfortable, and closer
to the road than ever before.
Without detracting from the

qualities required for off-road
driving or towing heav y loads.
Its naturally aspirated 3.6-litre
V6 engine features direct fuel
injection (DFI, p. 38), variable
valve timing on both inlet and
exhaust, and a variable resonance
intake manifold – for a generous
output and excellent fuel econ-
omy. In other words: we have
enhanced the performance, while
significantly lowering the weight,
fuel consumption and CO
2 emis-
sions. The figures speak for themselves: maximum torque of
400 Nm, 220 kW (300 hp), a top
speed of 230 km/ h (143 mph)
and the abilit y to accelerate
from 0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) in
7.5 se conds. With both fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions
reduced by 20 %.
1), 2) Delivering
this power to the road efficiently,
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 44) combines active all-
wheel drive
with an electron ically
variable
multi-plate clutch, auto -
matic brake dif ferential (ABD) and
anti-slip regulation (ASR). PTM
enables the perfect distribution of
drive torque to all four wheels,
whether on long straights, through
tight corners or on surfaces with
dif ferent friction coef ficients: for
dynamic handling
and increased
traction. Drive is transmit ted
through a high-performance
six-speed manual gearbox (p. 42),
which ensures optimum progres-
sion through the gears.
In addition to the standard
18-inch Cayenne wheels and
larger brakes, the Cayenne
can be fit ted with the optional Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB, p. 64) – for out-
standing brake performance.
Another key advantage: a total
weight saving of approximately
50 % compared with equivalent
cast- iron discs.
The generous standard equipment
includes partial-leather seats,
climate control, the CDR-31 audio
system with touchscreen, cruise
control and automatic headlight
activation. For added comfort,
there’s also a ‘Welcome Home’
lighting function. When you arrive
at a destination af ter dark, the
headlights remain illuminated for
a user- defined period, lighting
your path from the car.
So, a unique blend of the great
sports performance and unre-
stricted everyday practicalit y that
is t ypical of Porsche. Let ’s be
honest, would you have expected
any thing else?
Everything has changed. Apart from the concept.

Boasting outstanding perform-
ance and ef ficiency, the Cayenne
Diesel is ideal for longer journeys
– of fering high levels of torque,
while fuel consumption remains

Its new 3.0 -litre V6 turbo - diesel
engine is now more powerful and
refined, and approximately 20 kg
l i g h t e r.
1) The unit generates
180 kW (245 hp) and maximum
torque of 550 Nm. The sprint
to 100 km/ h (62 mph) requires
just 7.6 seconds. Top speed
is 220 km/ h (137 mph). Fuel
con sumption now comes in at
just 7.2 l/100 km (39.2 mpg) in
the EU cycle.
2)
Direct fuel injection comes cour-
tesy of a common-rail injection
system. The piezoelectric
injectors now enable multiple
injections at a pressure of up to 2,000 bar, ensuring optimum
distribution of the air/fuel mixture
– for improved dynamics.
The new turbocharger on the
Cayenne Diesel features Variable
Turbine Geometry (V TG, p. 40).
Combined with optimised channel-
ling of the intake air, it enhances
the charging ef fect, thereby
generating a higher output and
impressive torque, even at low
engine speeds.
The standard eight-speed
Tiptronic S includes gearshif t
controls on the steering wheel.
Transmit ting the high torque
of the Cayenne Diesel smoothly
and ef fectively, the eight gears
are designed to facilitate both

The 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 maintain drive. As well as en-
hancing traction and active safety,

Torque is distributed bet ween the
front and rear axles by means of
the electronically variable multi-
plate clutch. For the toughest
off-road terrain, the differential
can be locked using the PTM
control on the centre console.
With the aid of on -board sensors,
the status of the car is continu-
ously monitored and the front /
rear split is adjusted to match
changing driving conditions.

Ty r e s .
All t yres have been optimised
with regard to driving perform-
ance, handling, rolling resistance
and weight. They also provide
great potential for reducing fuel
consumption and emissions. The three basic components of
the t yre have been enhanced –
the rubber compound, tread de-
sign and the architecture of the
substructure. This reduces rolling
resistance and fuel consumption.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring
(TPM).
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM)
provides early warning of any
drop in pressure via the on -board
computer display.
In addition, the driver can quickly
and easily check the individual
pressures in all four wheels via
the multi-purpose display in the
instrument cluster.
Standard on the Cayenne Turbo.
Optional for all other Cayenne
models.
Wheels.
All of the wheels for the Cayenne
models have been specifically
designed to reflect the character
of the car – and convey it to the
road.
Standard on the Cayenne and
Cayenne Diesel: the 18-inch
Cayenne wheel.
Standard on the Cayenne S and
Cayenne S Hybrid: the 18-inch

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 Cayenne
and Cayenne Diesel, 360 mm/
36 mm on the Cayenne S and
Cayenne S Hybrid, and 390 mm/
38 mm on the Cayenne Turbo.All models have six-piston
monobloc aluminium brake
calipers at the front and four-
piston equivalents at the rear.
The calipers are black on the
Cayenne and Cayenne Diesel
and silver on the Cayenne S
and Cayenne S Hybrid. On the
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).
For greater safet y, the brake pads
are equipped with individual wear
sensors, alerting the driver when
new pads are required.
Electric parking brake.
Manually activated and deactivat-
ed, the electric parking brake
releases automatically as you drive
off.
Automatic hold function.
With the automatic hold function,
you can pull away on the flat or a
slope without ever rolling back.
The system automatically detects
when the vehicle has come to a
halt on an uphill gradient. PSM then
maintains the brake pressure at all
four wheels for a brief period to
prevent the vehicle from moving in
the opposite direction.
Braking systems.
Porsche brakes are renowned
worldwide as the benchmark
in performance and durabilit y.
Equipped with larger and more
powerful braking systems, the
Cayenne models continue this
tradition by offering excellent
deceleration – even when the
car is fully laden with five adult
occupants, a full complement
of luggage and a braked trailer
load of up to 3,500 kg (Cayenne
with manual gearbox: 2,700 kg).
Outstanding brake performance.

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,
e.g. on gravel or snow.
For a more involving driving
experience, PSM can also be
disabled, but remains active in
the background.
Standard on all Cayenne
models.
accele ration of the car. Using
this information, it is possible to
calculate the actual direction of
travel at any given moment. If
the car begins to oversteer or
understeer, PSM applies selective
braking on individual wheels to
restore stabilit y. If necessar y,
PSM can also intervene in the
engine management system to
temporarily modif y the amount of
drive transmit ted to the wheels.
Porsche Stability Management
(PSM).
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM) is an electronic control
system that uses a range of
functions – including anti-lock
braking (ABS) – to help stabilise
the vehicle (and trailer, if fit ted)
in hazardous road scenarios.
Throughout each journey, sensors

of the car’s dynamic exterior
lines. The seat position and
sports steering wheel offer
exceptional support and contact
– for an even sportier ride.A t ypical Porsche feature: the
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-
ual height and reach adjustment
(electrically adjustable on the
Cayenne Turbo). The steering
wheel rim is in smooth-finish
leather. As is the optional
SportDesign steering wheel with
gearshif t paddles – for genuine
race-st yle gearshif t action. Also
available as an option, the multi-
function steering wheel enables
easy access to a range of
functions including audio and
telephone.
