2011 PORSCHE CAYENNE suspension

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.

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
control on the centre console
forward or backward to select
one of up to three off-road
modes (depending on the model).
Steep ascents leading to snow-
covered mountain lodges, boggy
ground or muddy, loose surfaces
– all situations that the Cayenne
handles superbly with intelligent
all-wheel drive. The drive systems
featured on the Cayenne models
deliver exceptional torque. For
plent y of power on tap. On any
terrain.
From urban jungle to the windy wilds.
The Cayenne is perfectly at home on any terrain.

At slow and medium speeds, PT V
Plus considerably enhances agilit y
and steering precision. At high
speeds, during fast cornering and
under wheel spin, the electron-
ically controlled
rear differential
ensures additional stabilit y. Also
on variable-grip surfaces, in the
wet and on snow, PT V Plus –
combined with Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) and Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM) –
provides a major contribution to
active safety.In of f-road terrain, PT V Plus
reduces wheel spin on the rear

Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping
control system. It of fers con-
tinuous adjustment of individual
damping forces based on current
road conditions and driving st yle.
During performance driving or
heav y of f-road use, there is an
increased tendency for the body
to sway. PASM prevents this from
happening, thereby improving
stabilit y and occupant comfort.
PASM has three setup modes:
‘Comfort ’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport ’. Whichever one you select, the
system uses a series of sensors
to monitor the movement of the
body. It also gathers data on
lateral acceleration, steering
angle, brake pressure and engine
torque and modifies the damping
force on each individual wheel
in accordance with the selected
mode.
PASM remains active at all times.
It automatically adapts to the
prevailing driving conditions,
enabling greater car control and
improving comfort and safet y.
Optional for the Cayenne,
Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S
and Cayenne S Hybrid.
Standard on the Cayenne
Turbo: air suspension with
PASM.
yaw velocit y and vehicle speed,
PT V Plus optimises steering re-
sponse and precision by applying
brake pressure to the left or
right rear wheel, as required.
Specifically, this means that when
entering a corner at high speed,
moderate brake pressure is
applied to the inside rear wheel.
This transfers drive torque to the
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).

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:

high -mounted upper arms are
in aluminium. This axle design
ensures accurate wheel location,
greater agilit y and minimal inter-
ference on uneven surfaces.
The subframe is secured on large
rubber mountings that reduce
road noise to a minimum. It is
also specially constructed to
increase stabilit y. For enhanced comfort and even greater active
and passive safet y. In the event
of an impact, the subframe
deforms in a predefined manner.

Rear axle.
The rear axle features multi-link
suspension. Ideal for performance
road and track use, it also copes
well with the extremely high
towing and carrying loads that
are possible with each Cayenne.
The suspension struts are angled
to allow longer suspension travel
and create a deeper and wider
cargo area. As well as providing
additional space, the car is also
easier to load.
The rear axle design minimises
dive and squat under acceleration
and braking. It also improves mid-
corner stabilit y and compensates
for sudden load transfer. In short:
it enables a more relaxed way
of driving. Examples of intelligent
light weight construction on the
rear axle include hollow drive
shafts.
Steering.
The steering system has been
completely revised and adapted
for a more immediate response
and greater driving dynamics.
Around the straight-ahead pos-
ition, in particular, the ratio is
now more direct. With the variable
steering ratio and special valve
set tings on the power-steering
system, optimum manoeuvrabilit y
is ensured. The turning circle
of the Cayenne models is just
11.9 metres.
The steering column itself
consists of multiple collapsing
sections linked by t wo universal
joints and a special deformation
element provides additional safet y
in the event of a front impact. Electro -hydraulic power steering
is used for the first time on the
Cayenne S Hybrid. The demand-
driven pump only provides
assistance to the steering as
and when required, thereby
contributing to overall efficiency.
Servotronic.
Servotronic is a speed-sensitive
power-steering system.
At higher speeds, the steering
becomes firmer, inputs are more
precise and driver comfort is
enhanced. At lower speeds, it
enables easy manoeuvrability
and parking.
Standard on the Cayenne S
Hybrid. Optional for all other
Cayenne models.

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
2). Items can be
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
too.
