The Cayenne GTS follows one guiding
principle alone: the racing line.
The new Cayenne GTS is equipped with
air suspension that features a 20 -mm
reduction in height when compared to a
Cayenne S as standard. This allows for
a lower center of gravit y and even closer
contact to the road.
Fit ted as standard equipment, Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM)
is an electronic damping control system.
It offers continuous adjustment of the
damping forces on each wheel, depending
on the current road conditions and driving
st yle.
During performance driving with heavy
acceleration and braking phases, there
is an increased tendency for the body to
sway. PASM prevents this from happening.
It has three driver-selectable modes whose
basic setup is performance-orient
ed to
match the capabilit y of the Cayenne GTS:
‘Comfort’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’. Sensors
monitor the movement of the body and
also gather data on lateral acceleration, steering angle, brake pressure and engine
torque. Based on the driving conditions,
the system continuously varies the individ
-
ual damping forces within the parameters
defined for the selected mode. PASM
remains active at all times. It automatical -
ly adapts to the prevailing driving situ-
ation, enabling greater vehicle control and
improving comfort and safet y – when out
for a quick ‘run’ after work, for example.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
active all-wheel drive enables high levels
of traction and impressive driving dynam -
ics. PTM continuously monitors the status
of the vehicle to ensure the optimum
torque split – for powerful acceleration
on long straights,
through tight corners
or on surfaces with different friction
coefficients.
In sport, it often comes down to those
crucial seconds. The optional Sport
Chrono Package
1) includes an analog and
digital timer located at the center of the dashboard. In conjunction
with PCM, the
performance display informs
you about
the total driving time, lap distance covered
so far, the number of laps completed and
individual lap times. Just in case you wish
to record your own personal best. Available as an option, Porsche Torque
Vectoring Plus (PT V Plus) is a system that
enhances driving dynamics and stability.
PT V Plus offers variable distribution
of engine torque to the rear wheels and an
electronically controlled rear differential. As standard, the Cayenne GTS is fit ted
with 20 -inch RS Spyder Design wheels.
These one-part alloy wheels feature a
race-inspired look.
Purism is about one thing above all:
maximum focus on that which is essen -
tial. High performance – achieved in the
most intelligent way.

Maximum comfort and performance –
without losing sight of the essentials.
When a sports car manufacturer reflects
on comfort, there can be only one out -
come: high-end systems offering excep -
tional performance. The standard CDR audio system has a
7-inch touchscreen color display which
enables you to navigate and select the
main menus and functions with ease and
efficiency. The integrated CD radio,
featuring an FM t win-tuner with RDS, 30
memory presets, dynamic autostore and
speed-sensitive volume control, includes
a sound system with 10 loudspeakers
and a total audio output of 100 wat ts. Available as an option, Porsche Communi
-
cation Management (PCM) is the central
control system for all information and
communications functions, including the
navigation module with high-speed hard drive, radio, CD/ DVD, sound set tings,
on-board computer, and telephone. Key
features include a 7-inch high-resolution
touchscreen color display for intuitive con -
trol.
The optional BOSE
® Surround Sound Sys -
tem has been matched to the acoustics of
the new Cayenne GTS. A total of 14 loud -
speakers deliver an output of 585 wat ts.
For an even more exclusive aural experi -
ence, the optional Burmester
® High - End
Surround Sound System offers a total
output of more than 1,000 wat ts, 16 loud -
speakers and a 16-channel amplifier.
The instrument cluster comprises five
round instruments augmented by a 4.8-
inch TFT color screen. It displays informa -
tion from the on-board computer or, in
conjunction with PCM including navigation
module, map data from the navigation
system.
The Cayenne GTS is equipped with climate
control as standard, which ensures a
pleasant temperature when your pulse
rate is climbing.
Available as an option, adaptive cruise
control automatically regulates the speed
of your vehicle. It can be used at speeds
above 19 mph for added driver comfort
on longer journeys.
The optional Lane Change Assist (LCA)
system monitors the area behind and
to the side of the vehicle. At speeds of
19 mph or more, it alerts the driver
of a vehicle in the adjacent lane via a
visual signal. If the indicators are activat -
ed, LEDs in the exterior mirrors provide
a visual signal to alert the driver of a
vehicle in the blind spot.
Park Assist uses an acoustic signal and
visual display to alert the driver of any
obstacles at the front or rear of the car. The luggage compartment has a total
capacit y of up to 62.9 cubic ft
1) with the
rear seats folded. The optional trailer
coupling without tow ball is available. It
accommodates a maximum braked trailer weight of 7,716 pounds.
A purist vehicle
concept can lead to many things. Pure
comfort, for instance.
