We’ve been building sports cars for more
than 60 years. During that time, we’ve
brought race-proven technologies to the
road – and
great emotion to ordinary
everyday driving.
Yet the Cayenne is any thing but
ordinary – especially in the SUV
segment. We’ve also continued to
drive forward the Cayenne concept.
The result: a car that brings us closer
to the fascinating appeal of the sports
car than ever before. With higher
performance, typical Porsche design
genes and an interior that delivers
true sports car appeal.

Those who develop talent reap the reward.
Sometimes in more ways than one.
The Cayenne models.
When we launched the first Cayenne in
2002, it was met with great scepticism.
Can it still be considered a Porsche at
all? Our reply: never before in the history
of the company, had a model gone
from 0 to 100,000 sold units so quickly.
The second-generation Cayenne too has
firmly established itself in the SUV
market, demonstrating that exceptional
sports car performance is not just
restricted to the road, while the first
Cayenne Diesel proved once more
that we are not afraid to follow uncon -
ventional paths.
The success story continued to gather
momentum in 2010 – with the sum of the
ideas inherent in every Porsche. Innovative drive systems have led to
greater efficiency: fuel consumption has
been reduced by up to 23
% and CO
2
emissions by up to 26 %. This was
achieved thanks to the Cayenne models
being considerably lighter, with each
one weighing up to 185 kg less than the
respective previous model. They also
feature a host of advanced technologies
such as the auto start/stop function
(p. 38). All this has made our vehicles
more dynamic, practical and comfortable
than ever before.
For increased comfort and safet y there’s
a range of driver assistance systems
including the optional adaptive cruise
control (p. 110) with Porsche Active Safe
(PAS). Ensuring a phenomenal sound
experience in every seat position is the
optional Burmester
® High-End Surround
Sound System (p. 96). The most innovative – and therefore in
keeping with the rest of the Porsche
family – is the Cayenne S Hybrid. Its par
-
allel full hybrid system (p. 28) harnesses
the power of an electric machine (motor/
generator) and an internal combustion
engine. This provides several clear
benefits for the driver: outstanding
sports car performance combined with
excellent fuel economy. Once again,
typically Porsche.
The Cayenne Diesel is no exception.
The drive system is based on the tried-
and-tested Porsche principle. We’ve
just refined the concept, making it even
lighter and more powerful.
The Cayenne and Cayenne S offer
increased power and efficiency, while
also delivering exceptional capability
off road. The result: greater driving pleasure with reduced fuel consumption
and CO
2 emissions. On and off road.
This has also been achieved through the
use of advanced technologies such as
direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 40), eight-
speed Tiptronic S (p. 44) and VarioCam
Plus (p. 39). The interaction bet ween
all components has also been optimised.
The Cayenne GTS: an SUV descended
from a thoroughbred sports car. The
purist among Cayenne models, it is
extremely close to the road. With excep -
tional performance, a reduction in ride
height and an engine note t ypical of the
GTS, it offers one thing above all else:
pure sporting prowess.
Another of our principles: high per -
formance should never come at the
expense of comfort or safet y, and
this is something we have kept to. Even
with a car offering the phenomenal out -
put of the Cayenne Turbo. Its 4.8-litre V8
powerplant develops 368 kW (500 hp),
which is guaranteed to set pulse rates
climbing and send a shiver down the
spine – both natural reactions in a turbo -
charged Porsche.
Standard active safety features include
Bi-Xenon main headlights with the
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS,
p. 63). For greater comfort and perform -
ance, the car is equipped as standard
with eight-speed Tiptronic S (p. 44), while
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus,
p. 56) enhances driving dynamics and
stability.
As always, we’ve focused on what ’s really
important. To the point: the Cayenne
models.

Children can give you a great deal of joy.
Even more so when they’ve inherited your finest characteristics.
Design.
When you look at someone’s face,
you see much more than their external
features. We are proud to say, it ’s
the same with the Cayenne models.
In fact, what you see is more sports
performance than ever before.
The contours of the front section draw
the eye, reflecting the car’s excellent
dynamics at first glance. The elongated
bonnet is clearly reminiscent of Porsche
racecars from the 1960s. The front wheel
arches are extremely well defined, while
the ‘power-domed’ bonnet further under -
lines the sheer power and resolution
within – this is particularly dominant on
the Cayenne Turbo. Other distinguishing
features include the visibly drawn-in
flanks.
The profile is sharper and exudes
eagerness and determination.
The muscular rear wheel arches are typical
of a sports car, while the contoured roof
spoiler pays homage to the Carrera GT.
Further proof of how harmoniously our
performance concept has been integrated
into our design philosophy – across the
entire model range.
The tapered rear screen and streamlined
rear section underline the pronounced
wheel arches – for a typically distinctive
rear v iew.
The exterior is unmistakably Porsche.
The inside too. But not in the way you are
used to perhaps. The desire to achieve
greater agility, flexibility and everyday
practicalit y has led to an interior that
is both sport y and comfortable (p. 78
on wards): another clear reference to the
Carrera GT, the centre console rises to meet the dashboard – for an even more
dynamic drive.
The rear cabin area is larger and more
variable than before. It features split-
folding seats with fore/aft adjustment
and adjustable backrest angle – for extra
legroom and greater comfort. In add ition,
a wide range of exclusive materials has
been used. Practically everything has
been changed, but one thing remains the
same: the focus on you and your
passengers.

Everything has changed.
Apart from the concept.
Cayenne.
At Porsche, we are continually changing.
Looking for a new and different approach.
Without ever losing sight of where we’ve
come from. That ’s how we remain true to
ourselves.
The basic Cayenne concept is therefore
the same. We’ve just continued to
improve it: the Cayenne is now lighter –
up to 165 kg
1) depending on the specifi -
cation – and also more dynamic, more
comfortable, and closer to the road than
ever before. Without detracting from the
qualities required for off-road driving or
towing heav y loads.
Its naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V6 engine
features direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 40),
variable valve timing on both inlet and
exhaust, and a variable resonance intake manifold – for a generous output and
excellent fuel economy. In other words:
we have enhanced the performance,
while significantly lowering the weight,
fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions. The
figures speak for themselves: maximum
torque of 400 Nm, 220 kW (300 hp),
a top speed of 230 km/ h and the abilit y
to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/ h in
7.5 seconds. With both fuel consumption
and CO
2 emissions reduced by 20 %.1)
Delivering this power to the road effi -
ciently, Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 47) combines active all-wheel
drive with an electronically variable multi-
plate clutch, automatic brake differential
(ABD, p. 47) and anti-slip regulation (ASR,
p. 47). Together they enable the perfect
distri bution of drive torque to all four wheels, whether on long straights,
through tight corners or on surfaces with
different
friction coefficients – for dynamic
handling
and increased traction. Drive is
trans mitted through a high-performance
six-speed manual gearbox (p. 44), which
ensures optimum progression through
the gears.
In addition to the standard 18-inch
Cayenne wheels and larger brakes, the
Cayenne can be fit ted with the optional
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB, p. 66) – for even more outstand -
ing brake performance.
Another key advantage: a total weight
saving of approximately 50 % compared
with equivalent cast-iron discs. The generous standard equipment
includes partial-leather seats, climate
control, the CDR audio system with
touchscreen, cruise control and auto
-
matic headlight activation. For added
comfort, there’s also a ‘Welcome Home’
lighting function. When you arrive at a
destination after dark, the headlights
remain illuminated for a user-defined
period, lighting your path from the car.
So, a unique blend of the great sports
performance and unrestricted everyday
practicalit y that is t ypical of Porsche.
Let ’s be honest, would you have expected
anything else?
