2011 PORSCHE CAYENNE fuel cap

At this point, it would be very
tempting for us to wax lyrical about
the Cayenne. However, we prefer to
tell you about an exciting concept:
Porsche Intelligent Performance.
Our commitment to more ef ficient
engines and lighter bodies. The
result is even more power, but with
lower fuel consumption and fewer
emissions. In short: greater per-
formance and everyday practicalit y.
The Cayenne of fers exactly what
our customers need: more Porsche
than ever before.
The Cayenne. To the point.

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.

part-throt tle mode and through
energy recovery during braking.
A special bat tery management
and cooling system maintains
a constant temperature and
pro
tects the bat ter y from over-
heating. It also monitors the
charge/discharge processes. As
a result, the life of the bat tery is
optimised and its suitabilit y for
everyday use ensured, while
offering a high capacit y: 1.7 kWh. Systems that are usually depen d-
ent on the output provided by
the combustion engine, such as
climate control, power steering
and brake assist , run solely
on electricit y on the Cayenne S
Hybrid. As they do not rely on
output from the engine, these
functions remain active when the
car is running in electric mode or
when it is ‘coasting’ or gliding
along with the engine turned of f.
In summary: despite its six-
cylinder powerplant, the
Cayenne S Hybrid offers per-
formance levels that are com-
parable with an eight-cylinder
unit – but with significantly lower
fuel consumption.
Also when it comes to hybrid
drives, we’ve taken a completely
new path. Hardly surprising really,
with a technology this convincing.
The compact bat tery is located
under the loadspace floor in the
luggage compartment. Weighing
80 kg, its dimensions are
426 mm x 925 mm x 286 mm.
The bat tery is designed to last
without the need for any main-
tenance. As the electric machine
also functions as a generator,
it can charge the bat tery under
certain conditions when
the combustion engine is in
The hybrid system features a
high -voltage nickel metal hydride
(NiMH) bat tery consisting of
240 cells. It provides the electric
machine with the energy required
for the vehicle to drive short
distances solely on electric
power.

with direct fuel injection (DFI,
p. 38), VarioCam Plus (p. 37) and
a t wo -stage intake manifold.
The unit delivers 294 kW (400 hp)
at 6,500 rpm. Maximum torque
of 500 Nm is available bet ween
3,500 and 5,000 rpm.
Fit ted with eight-speed Tiptronic S
as standard, the car is capable
of accelerating from 0 to
100 km/ h (62 mph) in
5.9 seconds. Top speed is
258 km/ h (160 mph), while
fuel consumption has been
reduced by 23 %

powered by
a 4.8-litre t win -turbo V8 engine
featuring direct fuel injection (DFI,
p. 38), VarioCam Plus (p. 37) and
charge-air cooling. It generates
368 kW (500 hp) at 6,000 rpm.
Maximum torque of 700 Nm is

consistently within a specific
temperature range. The engines
in the Cayenne models are
therefore designed for ef ficient
cooling.
In order to reduce the frictional
losses that occur during warm -up,
all Cayenne models feature com-
prehensive thermal management.
Using intelligent control, it
activates the dif ferent cooling
circuits individually and on de-
mand, thereby ensuring that the
optimum operating temperature
for the engine and transmission
is reached more quickly. This
minimises friction – and keeps
fuel consumption and CO
2 emis-
sions low.
The V8 engines have an enhanced
coolant management system
offering effective temperature
control throughout the engine.
While 20 % of coolant flows longi-
tudinally through the crankcase,
the remaining 80 % serves the
cylinder heads using the proven
cross-flow principle (from hot to
cold).
On all Cayenne models, the piston
heads are cooled using oil-spray
jets integrated within the main
lubrication system.
The entire cooling system is
designed for prolonged heav y-
dut y use, e.g. of f-road driving
or heav y towing and carrying
applications.Lubrication.
The V8 engines use dry-sump
lubrication to ensure a consistent
supply of oil in all load conditions,
especially in of f-road terrain.
The oil reservoir is located inside
the engine. This saves on space
and reduces weight.
Oil is circulated around the V8
engines using a demand- driven
pump. This has been designed
for the toughest driving scenarios
on and off road, including per-
formance driving and extreme
gradients. The V6 engines have a wet-sump
lubrication system.
Ensuring a
reliable supply of oil, no mat ter
how challenging the driving
conditions.
Direct fuel injection on the
diesel engine (common-rail
injection system).
On the Cayenne Diesel, direct
fuel injection comes courtesy of
a common -rail injection system.
The injection pressure is now up
to 2,000 bar, ensuring optimum
distribution of the air/fuel mixture
– for greater performance. The
piezoelectric injectors provide
flexible injection rate
adjustment,
using exactly metered quantities
of fuel, with multiple injections
for each power stroke to deliver
smooth combustion.
Cooling systems.
A high -performance engine can
only maintain its maximum
capabilit y over a long service life
if all components are operating
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
DFI injects fuel directly into the
combustion chamber at up to
120 bar with millisecond precision
using electromagnetic injectors.
The injector position and spray
geometry have been carefully
designed to improve output,
torque, fuel economy and emis-
sions. The swirling of the fuel as
it enters each chamber increases
the mixing of air and fuel, thereby
enhancing combustion. By form-
ing the air/fuel mixture directly
in the combustion chamber, DFI
contributes to engine cooling.
As a result, it was possible to in-
crease the compression ratio and
therefore power and efficiency.

Compression with precision.
Essential for getting right to the point.

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, 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 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

forward or backward to select
one of up to three off-road
modes (depending on the model).
