The Porsche ‘S’ has long been
a mark of heightened sports per-
formance and abundant reserves
of power. On the Cayenne S, it
also stands for strength, agilit y
and efficiency.
At the heart of the car is a natur-
ally aspirated 4.8-litre V8 engine
featuring direct fuel injection
(DFI, p. 38), VarioCam Plus (p. 37)
and a t wo -stage intake manifold.
This helps to keep fuel consump-
tion and emissions low, while
ensuring maximum output. In
short: 294 kW (400 hp), maximum
torque of 500 Nm and a top
speed of 258 km/ h (160 mph).
The Cayenne S accelerates from
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) in as
lit tle as 5.9 seconds. Fuel con-
sumption has been reduced by
up to 23 % and CO
2 emissions by
as much as 26 %.
1), 2) The weight
of the car has also been lowered
by 180 kg
1). Drive is transmit ted to the road
with smoothness and precision
by the standard eight-speed
Tiptronic S, which includes gear-
shif t controls on the steering
wheel. The result: optimum use
of the available power reserves.
Of course, to apply exceptional
power like this ef fectively, it
needs to be harnessed and con-
trolled. For example, by Porsche
Traction Management (PTM,
p. 44). On the Cayenne S, this
active all-wheel drive system
features an electronically variable,
map - controlled multi - plate clutch,
an automatic brake differential
(ABD, p. 44) and anti-slip regu-
lation (ASR, p. 44). Working
in conjunction with advanced
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM, p. 66), PTM ensures the
required torque split in every
driving scenario. On or of f road.
During performance driving, as well as on leisurely journeys
or when towing heav y loads.
The black slats on the air intakes
make them appear larger, and
the car wider. Other distinctive
features include the 18-inch
Cayenne S III wheels.
The Porsche ‘S’. A mark to which
the Cayenne S holds true.
Power, precision and the potential for more.

Understatement coupled with
clear statements: lower fuel
consumption, faster acceleration.
Supreme engineering that speaks
for itself. In short, every thing
you’d expect from a Turbo.
Another clear statement is the
distinctive sound from the t win
dual-tube tailpipes. Produced by
the 4.8-litre t win -turbo V8 engine
that delivers 368 kW (500 hp)
and features direct fuel injection
(DFI, p. 38). The car has a top
speed of 278 km/ h (173 mph)
and the benchmark sprint from
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) is com-
pleted in 4.7 seconds. Maximum
torque is 700 Nm. Here too, fuel
consumption has been reduced
by
23 % and CO2 emissions by
2 5 % .

Optimum traction and safet y are
provided by Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 44) active
all-wheel drive. Also connecting
the car to the road are the 19 -inch Cayenne Turbo wheels.
The chassis on the Cayenne Turbo
is equipped as standard with air
suspension featuring self-levelling
and ride-height control, as well
as Porsche Active Suspension
Management
(PASM, p. 51). This
electronic damping control sys-
tem offers continuous adjustment
of the damping forces
on each
wheel – depending on
current
road conditions and driving st yle.
This enables greater car control,
improving safet y and comfort.
Comfort is also key in the
Cayenne Turbo interior. Standard
equipment comprises an interior
package in smooth-finish leather,
a rooflining in Alcantara and an
electrically adjustable steering
column.
Also fit ted as standard: the
BOSE® Surround Sound System,
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) with navi-
gation module, adaptive sports
seats with comfort memor y package (18-way), Tyre Pressure
Monitoring (TPM, p. 57), auto -
matic headlight activation and
automatically dimming exterior
and interior mirrors.
Exterior features exclusive to
the Cayenne Turbo include
Bi-Xenon main headlights with
Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS, p. 61), larger air intakes
and a distinctive ‘power dome’ on
the engine lid – a clear reference
to the enormous potential within.
Following our long established
principles,
the Cayenne Turbo
blends phenomenal performance
with outstanding comfort and
efficiency. It does so in st yle but
without ever compromising on
any one in particular. Because we
believe that less can also mean
more.
Reduced weight, lower fuel consumption, fewer emissions.
At Porsche, we believe less is more.

Porsche Dynamic Chassis
Control (PDCC).
Available as an option in con-
junction with air suspension,
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC) is an active anti-roll
system that further enhances
the extra ordinary road holding
and precision handling of the
Cayenne models.
PDCC anticipates and significantly
reduces lateral body movement
when cornering. This is achieved
with the aid of the active anti-roll
bars featuring hydraulic swivel
motors on the front and rear
axles. The system responds to
the current steering angle and
lateral acceleration by producing
a stabilising force that precisely
negates the swaying force of the
body. The benefits are greater agilit y
at every speed, more responsive
steering, stable load transfer
characteristics and enhanced
occupant comfort. When off-road
mode is selected via a switch
on the centre console, this allows
the t wo halves of each anti-roll
bar to rotate further in opposition
to each other. This in turn enables
greater wheel articulation and
ensures that each individual
wheel has more contact with
the ground, improving traction
on uneven surfaces.
Optional for the Cayenne,
Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo.

The Cayenne models can be
equipped with an air suspension
system featuring self-levelling,
ride-height control and PASM – for
enhanced driving dynamics and
comfort. The self-levelling facilit y
maintains a constant ground clear-
ance, which can easily be adjust-
ed using the ride-height control
on the centre console:

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

Ski bag
Loading option
Even when the car is fully laden,
the self-levelling air suspension
on the Cayenne Turbo (optional
on all other models) maintains a
constant ground clearance at
front and rear.
For greater convenience, the air
suspension package includes
ride-height control, enabling the
car to be lowered below the
normal ride level for easier load-
ing of heav y items. When
moving
off, the suspension automatically
reverts to the standard ride-height
set ting (Normal Level).
An automatic tailgate is avail-
able as an option with a user-
programmable set ting that can
be adjusted to the height of
your garage.
With the rear seats folded, the
loadspace expands to as much
as 1,780 litres

stored out of view and protected
from the sun using a retractable
cover with detachable storage
casset te.
A handy ski bag is available as an
option. As well as protecting the
interior of your Cayenne, it can
be used to transport your skis
to and from the car. For added
practicalit y, the ski bag is also
washable.
The Cayenne brings a new facet
to the concept of high perform-
ance. And it ’s extremely versatile
