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.

Comfort | 19
18 | Comfort
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.

34 | Summary
Incredible power. Tremendous agility.
Exclusive design. This is the formula that
our engineers were working towards.Purism stands for the uncompromising pursuit of a clear line:
the road ahead. A formula that also promises unlimited
driving pleasure. But sometimes life is to
be enjoyed in its purest form – concen -
trated, in the truest sense. This was the
approach we took when building the
Cayenne GTS. A concept reduced to its essential elem-
ents – output, performance, intelligence.
A concept that is true to its roots: the
tarmac.
Purist. The new Cayenne GTS.
