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.

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.

The chassis on the Cayenne Turbo
is equipped as standard with air

as Porsche Active Suspension
Management
(PASM, p. 51). This
electronic damping control sys-
tem offers continuous adjustment
of the damping forces
on each

current
road conditions and driving st yle.
This enables greater car control,
improving safet y and comfort.
Comfort is also key in the

a rooflining in Alcantara and an
electrically adjustable steering
column.
Also fit ted as standard: the
BOSE® Surround Sound System,
Porsche Communication

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

The Cayenne S Hybrid has a
3.0 -litre V6 supercharged engine.
The charging effect of the
compressor ensures high levels
of torque, even at low engine
speeds. The unit generates an
output of 245 kW (333 hp).
440 Nm of torque is available
bet ween 3,000 and 5,250 rpm,
enabling a low-rev, economical
driving st yle while offering
exceptional reserves of power.
At 288 volts, the electric machine
has a maximum output of
34 kW (47 hp). The benefits of
the synchronous motor with
inner rotor design are extremely
compact dimensions and high
levels of efficiency. It also acts as
a starter motor and alternator.
Working in tandem, both units
provide a total output of 279 kW
(380 hp) and maximum torque
of 580 Nm, propelling the car
from 0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) in
just 6.5 seconds. These are the
levels of acceleration you would
usually expect from an eight-
cylinder unit, but with fuel con-
sumption of under 8.2 l/100 km
(34.4 mpg) in the EU cycle.

On the parallel full hybrid system,
the electric machine is integrated

The electronic engine manage-
ment system receives all infor-

With the Cayenne S Hybrid, our

The drive system of the
Cayenne S Hybrid.
Hybrid drives are suitable for use
in a wide range of scenarios. On
road, of f road or on the track – to
us, it ’s about using technology in
the most intelligent way. Porsche
Intelligent Performance has
enabled us to introduce hybrid
technology into a variet y
of different vehicle concepts.
The clearest proof of this is the
super sportscar of the future –
the 918 Spyder. The electric
machines in its plug-in hybrid
system work in conjunction with
the high rpm engine to deliver
exceptional performance with
incredibly low fuel consumption.
Another example is the 911 GT3 R
Hybrid. With its front-wheel hybrid
drive and fly wheel storage sys-
tem, it is an extremely modern
interpretation of a thoroughbred

It shuts of f the combustion
engine and switches it back on.
Thanks to the ultra-fast decoup-
ler and instantaneous engine
start-up, all of this goes un-
noticed by the driver.
Under mod-
erate
acceleration, the electric
machine can power the vehicle
independently using electricit y
alone. For example, for driving
quietly through residential areas
.
In
addition, it can be used to
boost
performance – for even
faster acceleration.
The parallel full hybrid concept
also comes into its own during
performance driving. When
the Cayenne S Hybrid is driven
at high speeds and on overrun,
the combustion engine is automatically disengaged from
the drivetrain and shut off: the
car
continues to ‘coast’ along.
Engine drag and the associated
losses are eliminated and
efficiency is increased at speeds
of up to 156 km/ h (97 mph).
The ‘e-power’ function expands
the range in which the vehicle
can be run solely on electric
power, when heading out of a
residential area, for instance.
The throt tle map is adapted so
that the combustion engine is
engaged later than in ‘Normal’
mode depending on performance
requirements. This is activated
via a but ton on the centre
console.
