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.
The Cayenne.

bet ween 3,800 and 4,400 rpm Cayenne: 400 Nm at 3,000 rpm
, 220 kW (300 hp) at 6,300 rpm
The Cayenne Diesel is powered
by a new 3.0 -litre V6 turbo - diesel
engine with a common-rail injec-
tion system. Its turbocharger
features Variable Turbine Geo -
metry (V TG, p. 40). The incoming
exhaust gases drive a set of
electronically variable turbine
blades whose angle is continuous-
ly adjusted to ensure optimum
performance under all engine
loads. This results in an output
of 180 kW (245 hp) and maximum
torque of 550 Nm. The car
accelerates from 0 to 100 km/ h
(62 mph) in 7.6 seconds. Max-
imum torque is available bet ween
1,750 and 2,750 rpm. Top speed
is 220 km/ h (137 mph), while fuel
consumption has been lowered.

On all Cayenne petrol engines,
we have used direct fuel injection
(DFI, p. 38) to achieve a signi fi-
cant increase in specific power
and torque as well as bet ter fuel
economy and lower emissions.

7.5 seconds to reach 100 km/ h
(62 mph) with a manual gearbox.
At the same time, fuel economy
has been improved by up to 20 %.

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.
