The new Cayenne S Diesel.
Life is all about set ting yourself new
goals every day. Always giving it your
all and never wasting a second. Fulfilling
your potential and living out your
passions. How is this done? By using
resources intelligently and following
your own path with great determination. It ’s a clear position – and one we share.
That ’s why we decided to drive forward
the concept of a diesel with Intelligent
Performance, making it even more

powerful and efficient. We think you’ll
agree the results are very convincing:

The new Cayenne S Diesel.

Politicians, scientists, the business com­
munit y – these days everyone is looking
to increase performance, while conserv ­
ing resources and improving efficiency.
But just how can this be achieved? Simply
by always going that one step further.
To help you reach your aspirations.
That ’s why our engineers are always
working towards more than one goal at a
time. When developing the new Cayenne S
Diesel, we were concerned with making
it more powerful and yet, at the same time, more efficient. Two guiding prin­
ciples that have been inextricably linked

at Porsche since 1948. Along with the
principle of offering you an even more
exhilarating experience.
How do we do this? With 281 kW (382 hp)
and 850 Nm of torque, naturally. To
match the performance capability of the
new 4.2 ­litre V8 turbo ­diesel engine,
the Cayenne S Diesel features the same
braking system as the Cayenne S, eight­
speed Tiptronic S and Porsche
Traction
Management (PTM) active all ­wheel drive.
All of this helps to make it a sports
car among diesels – and among SUVs. In addition, the Cayenne S Diesel
em
bodies every thing for which the

Porsche ‘S’ stands: heightened sports
per formance and abundant reserves
of power. Its drive system, generous
equipment and unique design are also
geared towards one thing: meeting
your needs.
Once again, we’ve taken a tried ­and ­
tested concept and developed it further.
The result: a diesel, a sports car and,
above all else, a Porsche that success­
fully combines performance and
e f f ici e n cy.
Efficiency and performance.
An ongoing quest whatever business you’re in.

Drive.
Like us, you’ve probably already dis­
covered the t wo vital ingredients you
need to achieve any goal: endurance
and performance.

In the Cayenne S Diesel beats the heart
of a pure ­bred athlete. The smooth ­
running 4.2 ­litre V8 turbo ­diesel engine is
both efficient and extremely powerful.
Generating 281 kW (382 hp), it enables
the car to sprint from 0 to 100 km/ h
(62 mph) in 5.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 252 km/ h (156 mph).

Maximum torque is an impressive
850 Nm, while fuel consumption comes
in at just 8.3 l/100 km (34.0 mpg) in
the combined test cycle.
1)
The highest performing V8 turbo ­diesel
in its class, it is assisted by t win turbo ­
charger units arranged in parallel – one
for each bank of cylinders. Incoming air
is passed through a shared filter and
compressed by the turbine units. Its
temperature is then reduced in the t win
intercooler system before it is fed
through to the engine.

Direct fuel injection comes courtesy
of a common ­rail injection system. The
piezoelectric injectors enable multiple
injections at a pressure of up to 2,000 bar,
ensuring optimum distribution of the air/
fuel mixture – for smooth ­running com ­
bustion.
As you’d expect from a diesel, efficiency
levels are high. This is due to advanced
technologies such as the standard auto
start/stop function. The turbochargers
on the Cayenne S Diesel also feature
Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG). Thermal management ensures that

the optimum operating temperature
for the engine and transmission is
reached more quickly. This reduces
fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
The key to success: being able to
stay the distance.

If you think about it, there’s really
only one way to achieve success: by
chan
nelling your energy in the right
direction. The impressive power of the
new Cayenne S Diesel is transmit ted
to
the road by the standard eight­speed
Tiptronic S. The standard sports steering
wheel has t wo ergonomic switches for
manual gear changes. The multifunction
steering wheel with switches is available
as an option, SportDesign steering wheel
features gearshift paddles.
In conjunction with Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) active all­wheel drive, the chassis offers high levels of traction
and impressive driving dynamics. The
system continuously monitors the status
of the car to ensure the optimum torque
split in every driving scenario – for
dynamic acceleration on long straights,
through tight corners or on surfaces
with different friction coefficients.
Available as an option, Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM) is an
electronic damping control system. It
provides continuous adjustment of the
damping forces on each wheel depending
on the current road conditions and driving

st yle. There is a choice of three setup
modes: ‘Comfort’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’.
PASM automatically adapts to the
prevailing driving conditions, enabling
greater car control and improved
comfort and safet y.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PT V
Plus), also optional, is a system
that enhances the driving dynamics
even further. It offers variable distribu­
tion of engine torque to the rear wheels
and electronically controlled rear
differential. PT V Plus optimises steering
response and precision by applying brake
pressure to the left or right rear wheel,
as required.
No matter what your aspirations,
it pays to be grounded.

Environment.
Our aim is to help you move forward –
now and in the future.
That ’s why the pursuit of performance
on the Cayenne S Diesel was not based
on horsepower alone, but also on
efficiency and reduced emissions.
The new 4.2­litre V8 turbo ­diesel has
a high compression ratio and excellent
thermal efficiency. This enables better
use of the higher energy densit y offered by
diesel fuel.
The Cayenne S Diesel features a double­
flow exhaust system, with each exhaust
tract comprising an oxidation catalyst
fit ted close to the engine and a diesel
particulate filter. In order to minimise
thermal losses and ensure that the
system is working under ideal condi­
tions, the pipes are completely air­gap
insulated. Due to the rapid warm­up of
the catalytic converters, the optimum
operating temperature is reached earlier
so emissions are reduced sooner when
starting from cold.The exhaust­gas recirculation on the
Cayenne S Diesel routes part of the
exhaust gas back into the combustion
process, resulting in lower peak com­
bustion temperature and therefore lower
nitrogen oxide emissions.
Lightweight construction is another
key aspect that we are consistently
pursuing. Reduced weight means lower
consumption. This is achieved through
the use of lightweight, innovative
materials – such as aluminium and
plastic – as well as the development
of new production technologies and

for a sustainable future.

advanced functionalities. The benefits
for the driver are tangible: greater
agility and impressive driving dynamics
– with enhanced fuel economy. Fuel con­
sumption comes in at just 8.3 l/100 km
(34.0 mpg) in the combined test cycle

while the 100 ­litre fuel tank increases
the range to well over 1,000 km.
Efficiency at its best.
