2012 PORSCHE CAYENNE GTS sport mode

Exterior | 9

Sporting spirit is a state of mind. Some -
thing that drives you on. You can sense
and feel it in every muscle and with
every heartbeat.

The front of the Cayenne GTS is unmis -
takable. As on all Cayenne models, the
contours immediately draw the eye.
The elongated hood is clearly reminis
cent of
Porsche racecars from the 1960s. The
striking center air intake underlines the
sheer power within, a feature that was
unique to the Cayenne Turbo until now.
The sharper profile exudes eagerness and
determination, which is further emphasized by the dynamic rear roof pillars and

flowing coupé-like silhouette.
The rear is also imbued with sporting
spirit. The rear wheel arches are typical
of a sports car, streamlined and muscular.
The ‘Cayenne GTS’ logo on the tailgate
makes a clear reference to the car’s
enormous potential.
The tapered rear window and streamlined
rear section accentuate the flared wheel
arches – for a typically distinctive rear
v iew.
Pure sport is all about stepping up the
power. That ’s why the new Cayenne GTS
is equipped, as standard, with the
SportDesign package. The athletic lower
front and rear fascia elements, dynamic
side skirts, wheel arch extensions and
rear spoiler with split t win wing profile
are all finished in exterior color.
All components have been optimized
in the Porsche wind tunnel to improve their efficiency and further enhance the

vehicle’s purposeful stance.
The Cayenne GTS is available in t wo
exclusive special colors: Carmine Red
or Peridot Metallic. A range of other
colors is naturally available on request.
For contrast, the side window surrounds
and rear trim strip have a black high-
gloss finish. Other features include the
Bi-Xenon™ main headlights in black and
the tinted LED taillights.
A coming together of sporting spirit and
purism, both of which are the driving
force behind great achievement.

Sporting spirit is intangible. Or is it?

Relax and take things easy –
in dynamic style.
Everyone needs to escape the everyday
stresses and strains from time to time.
Some people like to do this by exploring
a more dynamic side of life.
In the new Cayenne GTS beats the heart
of a pure athlete that knows only one
direction: straight ahead. The uprated,
naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8 engine
delivers 420 hp at 6,500 rpm. Maximum
torque of 380 lb.-ft. is available at
3,500 rpm. The benchmark sprint from
0 to 60 is completed in just 5.4 seconds.
Top track speed comes in at 162 mph.
The engine power of the new Cayenne GTS
is 20 hp higher and boasts an added
11 lb.-ft. of torque compared to the

Cayenne S. A shorter drive ratio further
enhances the car’s agilit y. So you feel the
pulse of the road – every inch of the way. Drive is transmit ted to the road with
smoothness and precision by the stand
-
ard eight-speed Tiptronic S. Depending
on road conditions and driving st yle, it
automatically selects the correct driving
mode. You can change gear using t wo
gearshift paddles on the standard
SportDesign steering wheel. One pull
on the right-hand paddle and Tiptronic S
shifts up. One pull on the left-hand
paddle and Tiptronic S shifts down.
As you’d expect from a true top performer,
the new Cayenne GTS is also highly
efficient. Thanks to intelligent
performance.
Standard fuel-saving technologies include
the Auto Start Stop function, VarioCam
Plus and Direct Fuel Injection (DFI). DFI
injects fuel directly into the combustion
chamber with millisecond precision using
electromagnetic injectors. This increases the air/fuel mix, thereby enhancing com
-
bustion for higher output and torque with
lower fuel consumption and emissions. Thermal management activates the differ
-
ent cooling circuits individually, thereby
ensuring that the optimum temperature
for the engine and transmission is reached
more quickly after a cold start. This
minimizes friction and keeps fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions low
during warm-up. The standard sport exhaust system

delivers an even more distinctive sound.
For the looks to match, it features t win
dual-tube tailpipes finished in matte black.

The drive system on the new Cayenne GTS
is designed for one thing above all else:
Performance.

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.

The Cayenne.
The success story of the Cayenne con-
tinues to gather momentum – thanks to
its enhanced emotional appeal, it is more
dynamic, practical and comfortable than
ever before. And also more efficient.
The V6 Cayenne is more powerful and
economical, while also delivering excep -
tional capability off road.Intelligent: the Cayenne S Hybrid. Its
parallel full hybrid system harnesses the
power of an electric machine and an
internal combustion engine. Working in
tandem, they produce a total output of
380 hp – for outstanding sports car
performance combined with excellent
fuel economy. The same is true of the Cayenne Diesel.
We’ve just refined the concept, increasing
the car’s power and efficiency.
The
Porsche ‘S’ has long been a mark
of heightened
sports performance and
abundant reserves of power. On the
Cayenne S, it also stands for strength,
agilit y and efficiency. In short: 400 hp
and a top track speed of 160 mph. The Cayenne Turbo makes clear state
-
ments in terms of its design, equipment,
output and efficiency. Its 4.8-liter
twin-turbo-V8 powerplant develops
500 hp. With a maximum speed of
172 mph, this car proves that high

performance and driving dynamics need
not come at the expense of comfort and

safety.
As always, we’ve focused on
what ’s really important. To the point:
the Cayenne models.
Purism, personality and performance.
