We’re passionate about building cars that unleash great power.
With the means to responsibly control it.
We understand that it ’s difficult to
curb your enthusiasm. We feel exactly
the same when developing our safet y
concepts.
The new Cayenne GTS is fit ted as stand -
ard with six-piston monobloc aluminum
fixed calipers at the front and four-piston
equivalents at the rear. It has internally
vented discs all round, ensuring consist -
ent performance during heav y use. The
brake discs have a diameter of 360 mm
at the front and 330 mm at the rear and
the calipers are finished in red. Available
as an option, the Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB) offers race-
proven brake performance.
Included as standard, advanced Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM) is an auto -
matic control system that helps to
stabilize the vehicle in hazardous road
scenarios. If the throt tle pedal is suddenly
released, PSM automatically readies the
braking system. The pressure in the brake lines is marginally increased, bringing
each of the pads into light contact with the
cor-responding disc. In an emergency
stop, the brake assist function uses the
PSM hydraulics to apply maximum braking
force at all four wheels.
The car is equipped with standard full-size
airbags for driver and front passenger to
help ensure optimum protection. These

are augmented by Porsche Side Impact
Protection (POSIP) and a driver knee
airbag. This comprises a side airbag in
each front seat, curtain-t ype airbags on
each side of the roof and side impact protection elements in each door.
The Cayenne GTS features Bi-Xenon™
main
headlights with black surround and
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The dynamic cornering light function
swivels the main headlights towards the
inside of a corner based on the current
steering angle and road speed, while
the static cornering lights activate the
auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate
more of the road in tight corners and turns.
PDLS also features speed-sensitive
headlight control and an adverse weather
function, which is activated in conjunction
with the rear foglights. The result: even greater
safet y, not just at night and

during cornering.
LED technology is used for all functions
on the rear light modules – for an ultra-
fast response and greater luminance.
To enhance the car’s purist appearance, the LED taillights also feature a black

surround.
As any top athlete will know, ensuring your
safet y is of paramount importance. Only
then can you relax and enjoy the moment.
