2011 PORSCHE CAYENNE seats

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.

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.

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.

curtain-t ype airbags on each
side of the roof offering opti-
mum head protection for both
rows of seats and side impact
protection elements in each
door. Side airbags at the rear
are also available as an option.Two impact sensors are located
at the front of the car to enable
bet ter detection of a head-on
collision. The driver and front
passenger airbags use a gas
generant based on an organic
propellant. As a result, the air-
bags are lighter, more compact
and easier to recycle. A roll-over
detection system provides
additional protection in the event
that the car were to overturn.
Using sensor-acquired data, it
enables early deployment of
the curtain airbags and triggers
the seat-belt pre-tensioners.
Seat belt system.
The Cayenne models feature
three-point seat belts on all
five seats, as well as seat-belt
pre-tensioners (front and outer

Airbags.
All Cayenne models are equipped
with full-size front airbags for
driver and front passenger as
standard. These are augmented

Bodyshell construction.
Our ongoing development of
the light weight steel body is a
decisive factor in the enhanced
passive safet y and unparalleled
rigidit y of the Cayenne body.
In the event of an accident, a
system of side and cross-
members at the front of the car
helps to channel impact energy
in a safe and predetermined
manner. The interior is protected
by hot-formed super high-strength
steel reinforcements, including
side intrusion beams in each of
the doors.
