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.
