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.

The only thing running low on long journeys:
fuel consumption.
Cayenne Diesel.
Boasting outstanding performance and
efficiency, the Cayenne Diesel is ideal for
longer journeys – offering high levels of
torque, while fuel consumption remains
low.
Its 3.0 -litre V6 turbo - diesel engine is now
more powerful and refined, and approxi -
mately 20 kg lighter.
1) The unit generates
180 kW (245 hp) and maximum torque
of 550 Nm. The sprint to 100 km/ h
requires just 7.6 seconds. Top speed is
220 km/ h. Fuel consumption now comes
in at just 7.2 l/100 km in the combined
test cycle.
2)
Direct fuel injection comes courtesy
of a common-rail injection system.
The piezoelectric injectors enable mul -
tiple injections at a pressure of up to 2,000 bar, ensuring optimum distribution
of the air/fuel mixture – for improved
dynamics.
The turbocharger on the Cayenne Diesel
features Variable Turbine Geometry

(V TG, p. 42). Combined with optimised
channelling of the intake air, it enhances
the charging effect, thereby generating
a higher output and impressive torque,
even at low engine speeds.
The standard eight-speed Tiptronic S
includes gearshift controls on the steer -
ing wheel. Transmit ting the high torque
of the Cayenne Diesel smoothly and
effectively, the eight gears are designed
to facilitate both economical driving with
low fuel consumption and performance
driving with emphatic acceleration. Porsche Traction Management (PTM,
p. 47)
permanent all-wheel drive with
self- locking centre differential transmits
the car’s power to all four wheels with
optimum precision and control.
Available as a no - cost option, the
100 -litre fuel tank increases the range
to well over 1,000 km while keeping
the engine rpm and noise levels low.
The Cayenne Diesel: proof that
a 100 -metre sprinter can also run
a marathon.

True, asphalt is rather grey.
But that need not apply to what’s happening on it.
Cayenne GTS.
GTS – three unmistakable let ters which, in
conjunction with the name Porsche, have
writ ten history both on and off the track.
Three letters that combine exceptional
racing performance with superb everyday
agilit y and that, at Porsche, have always
stood for impressive figures.
Good reasons to take a closer look at the
Cayenne GTS. A concept reduced to its
essential elem ents: output, performance,
intelligence. A concept that is true to its
roots: the tarmac – the place where life
happens for purists.
In the Cayenne GTS beats the heart of a
pure-bred athlete that knows only one
direction: straight ahead. The up rated,
naturally aspirated 4.8-litre V8 engine
delivers 309 kW (420 hp) and maximum
torque of 515 Nm. The benchmark sprint
from 0 to 100 km/ h is completed in just 5.7 seconds. Top speed comes in

at 261 km/ h.
The Cayenne GTS is also highly efficient –
thanks to standard fuel-saving technolo -
gies including the auto start/stop function
(p. 38), VarioCam Plus (p. 39) and direct
fuel injection (DFI, p. 40).
The ride height on the steel-spring sports
suspension is 24 mm lower than on the
other Cayenne models – for a lower
centre of gravit y. Also fit ted as standard,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM, p. 57) is an electronic damping
control system.
The striking central air intake underlines
the sheer power within. The SportDesign
package – standard fitment on the
Cayenne GTS only – includes the following
features in exterior colour: athletic lower front and rear apron elem

ents, dynamic
side skirts, unique wheel arch extensions
and rear spoiler with fixed bi - plane design.
All components have been
optimised
in the Porsche wind
tunnel to improve
their
efficiency and further enhance the
vehicle’s
purposeful stance.
The standard sports exhaust system
delivers an even more distinctive sound.
For the looks to match, it features t win
dual-tube tailpipes with mat t black finish.
St ylish and safe: the Bi-Xenon headlights
with black surround and Porsche Dynamic
Light System (PDLS, p. 63) are fit ted as
standard. The car features the same day -
time running lights as the Cayenne Turbo:
each main headlight unit has four LED
spotlights. The tinted taillights are also
equipped with LED technology. The Cayenne GTS is fit ted with 20 -inch

RS Spyder Design wheels as standard.
These one-part alloy wheels feature a
race-inspired look and brake calipers with
a red paint finish.
Pure sports appeal and exclusivit y con-
tinue inside the Cayenne GTS. The door
panels, armrests, seat centres and roof -
lining are finished in Alcantara. The GTS
sports seats with 8-way adjustment are
highly dynamic thanks to their low posi -
tioning. With adjustable fore/aft,
height
and squab/ backrest angle set tings,
they
also offer exceptional comfort and
sup-
port – even during performance driving.
The Cayenne GTS. Developed so that life
can be enjoyed in its purest form.

Reduced weight, lower fuel consumption, fewer emissions.
At Porsche, we believe less is more.

Cayenne Tu r b o.
Understatement coupled with clear state -
ments: lower fuel consumption, faster
acceleration.
1) Supreme engineering that
speaks for itself. In short, every thing
you’d expect from a Turbo.
Another clear statement is the distinctive
sound from the twin dual-tube tailpipes.
Produced by the 4.8-litre t win-turbo V8
engine that delivers 368 kW (500 hp) and
features direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 40).
The car has a top speed of 278 km/ h
and the benchmark sprint from 0 to
100 km/ h is completed in 4.7 seconds.
Maximum torque is 700 Nm. Here too,
fuel consumption has been reduced by
23 % and CO

connecting the car to the road are the
19-inch Cayenne Turbo wheels – wheels
up to 21 inches in diameter are available
as an option. The chassis on the Cayenne
Turbo is equipped as standard with air
suspension featuring self-levelling and
ride-height control, as well as Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM,
p. 57). This electronic damping control
system offers continuous adjustment
of the damping forces on each wheel –
depending on current road conditions
and driving st yle. This enables greater
car control, improving safety and
comfor t. Comfort is also key in the Cayenne Turbo
interior. Standard equipment comprises
an interior package in smooth-finish
leather, a rooflining in Alcantara and an
electrically adjustable steering column.
Also fit ted as standard: the BOSE®
Surround Sound System, Porsche

Communication Management (PCM, p. 90)
with navigation module, adaptive sports
seats with comfort memory package
(18-way), Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM,
p. 58), automatic headlight activation
and automatically dimming exterior and
interior mirrors.
Exterior features exclusive to the
Cayenne Turbo include Bi-Xenon main
headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS, p. 63), larger air intakes
and a distinctive ‘power dome’ on

the bonnet – a clear reference to the
enormous potential within.
Following our long established principles,
the Cayenne Turbo blends phenomenal
performance with outstanding comfort
and efficiency. It does so in st yle, but
without ever compromising on any one
in particular. Because we believe that
less can also mean more.

Hybrid, diesel, petrol. Many different options.
One outcome: Porsche.
Drive systems.
The drive system of the
Cayenne S Hybrid.
Hybrid drives are suitable for use in a
wide range of scenarios. On road, off
road or on the track – to us, it ’s about
using technology in the most intelligent
way. This enables us to introduce hybrid
technology into a variet y of different
vehicle concepts.
The clearest proof of this is the 918 Spyder
– a concept study for the super sports car
of the future. The electric machines in its
plug-in hybrid system work in conjunction
with the high rpm
engine to deliver out-
standing performance with incredibly low
fuel consumption.
Another example of a track- derived racing
vehicle is the 911 GT3 R Hybrid. With
its front-wheel hybrid drive and fly wheel storage system, it is an extremely
modern
interpretation of a thoroughbred
racecar with great potential for the
future.
With the Cayenne S Hybrid, our primary
focus was on meeting customer require -
ments in terms of athleticism, high effi -
ciency and greater everyday practicality.
The result: the parallel full hybrid.
The Cayenne S Hybrid has a 3.0 -litre V6
supercharged engine. The charging
effect of the compressor ensures high
levels of torque, even at low engine
speeds. The unit generates an output of
245 kW (333 hp). 440 Nm of torque is
available bet ween 3,000 and 5,250 rpm,
enabling a low-rev, economical driving
style while offering exceptional reserves
of power. At 288 volts, the electric machine has

a maximum output of 34 kW (47 hp).
The benefits of the synchronous motor
with inner rotor design are extremely
compact dimensions and high levels of
efficiency. It also acts as a starter motor
and alternator.
Working in tandem, both units provide
a total output of 279 kW
(380 hp) and
maximum torque of 580 Nm,
propelling
the car from 0 to 100 km/ h in just
6.5 seconds. These are the levels of
acceleration you would usually expect
from an eight- cylinder unit, but with
a combined fuel consumption of
8.2 l/100 km in the EU cycle.
1)
On the parallel full hybrid system, the
electric machine is integrated directly
into the drivetrain. The hybrid module
is situated bet ween the transmission
and the combustion engine. The engine
is engaged and disengaged using a
specially designed decoupler.
The electronic engine management
system receives all information on the
driving and energy status and controls
both drive systems to ensure optimum
performance in any driving scenario.
It shuts off the combustion engine and
switches it back on. Thanks to the ultra-
fast decoupler and instantaneous engine
start-up, all of this goes unnoticed by
the driver. Under moderate acceleration,
the electric machine can power the vehicle independently using electricity
alone. For example, for driving quietly
through residential areas. In addition,

it can be used to boost performance –
for even faster acceleration.
The parallel full hybrid concept also
comes into its own during performance
driving. When the Cayenne S Hybrid is
Parallel full hybrid
driven at high speeds and on overrun,
the combustion engine is automatically
disengaged from the drivetrain and shut
off: the car continues to ‘coast’ along.
Engine drag and the associated losses
are eliminated and efficiency is increased
at speeds of up to 156 km/ h.

Driving with foresight.
Quite literally.
Active safety.
It’s always a pleasure taking corners
in a Porsche. Especially when they’re
now so visible at night. The striking
lighting arrangement is also instantly
recognisable.
Automatic headlight activation.
The headlights are automatically
switched on when darkness sets in
or when driving through a tunnel in the
daytime. Other features include an auto -
matic switch-off and ‘Welcome Home’
function – when you arrive at a destin -
ation after dark, the headlights remain
illuminated for a user-defined period,
lighting your path from the car.
Standard on all Cayenne models.
Halogen main headlights.
The projector-beam halogen main head -
lights feature automatic static range
control and reflection high-beam lights –
for optimum illumination of the road.
Standard on the Cayenne, Cayenne
Diesel, Cayenne S and Cayenne S
Hybrid.
Bi-Xenon main headlights with
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Bi-Xenon main headlights – which
also have a black surround on the
Cayenne GTS – feature halogen auxiliary
headlights, integrated headlight cleaning
and automatic dynamic range control.
This provides more uniform illumination
of the road in both dipped and high-beam
mode. The dynamic cornering light function
swivels the main headlights towards the
inside of a bend based on the current
steering angle and road speed. The static
cornering lights activate the auxiliary
headlights in order to illuminate more of
the road in tight bends and turns.
PDLS also features speed-sensitive
headlight control and an adverse
weather function, which is activated

in conjunction with the rear foglight –
for even greater safet y, not just at night
and during cornering.


Standard on the Cayenne GTS and
Cayenne Turbo. Optional for all other
Cayenne models.

Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(PDLS Plus).
PDLS Plus offers t wo additional func -
tions: high Beam Assistant recognises
oncoming vehicles and automatically
switches the headlights from high beam
to dipped beam.
As you approach a crossing, Intersection
Assistant activates the left and right
indicators, making the beam of light
broader and shorter. This improves illu -
mination of the area directly surrounding
the vehicle, making the driver more
aware of what ’s going on around him.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
Daytime running lights.
Fit ted as standard on all Cayenne
models: LED day time running lights. On the Cayenne, Cayenne Diesel,
Cayenne S and Cayenne S Hybrid, these
are arranged horizontally in the front light
units, whereas on the Cayenne GTS and
the Cayenne Turbo each main
headlight
unit has four LED spotlights. Day time
running lights improve safet y in the
day time as they make you more visible
to other road users.
Taillights.
LED technology is used for all functions
on the rear light modules. For an ultra-
fast response and greater luminance.
In
short: for greater safet y. In an emer -
gency stop, the adaptive LED brake
lights on the Cayenne models pulsate
to alert the traffic behind more quickly
to a critical situation. The high-level third
brake light is integrated into the roof

Placing great weight on safety.
While taking things lightly.
Passive safety.
Airbags.
All Cayenne models are equipped with
full-size front airbags for driver and
front passenger as standard. These
are augmented by Porsche Side Impact
Protection (POSIP).
This comprises a side airbag in each
front seat, curtain-t ype airbags on each
side of the roof offering optimum head
protection for both rows of seats and
side impact protection elements in each
door. Side airbags at the rear are also
available as an option.
Two impact sensors are located at the
front of the car to enable bet ter detec -
tion of a head- on collision. The driver and front passenger airbags use a gas
generant based on an organic propellant.
As a result, the airbags are lighter,

more compact and easier to recycle.
A roll-over detection system provides
additional protection in the event that
the car were to overturn. Using sensor-
acquired data, it enables early deploy-
ment of the curtain airbags and triggers
the seat-belt pre-tensioners.
Seat belt system.
The Cayenne models feature three-point
seat belts on all five seats, as well as
seat-belt pre-tensioners (front and outer
rear seats) and force limiters (front seats
only).
ISOFIX mounting points.
The outer rear seats are equipped with
ISOFIX mounting points for compatible
child seats (p. 87) as standard. These
are available as an option for the front
passenger seat.
Bodyshell construction.
Our ongoing development of the light -
weight steel body is a decisive factor
in the enhanced passive safet y and
unparalleled rigidit y of the Cayenne body.
In the event of an accident, a system of
side and cross-members at the front of
the car helps to channel impact energy in
a safe and predetermined manner. The
interior is protected by hot-formed super
high-strength steel reinforcements,
including side intrusion beams in each
of the doors.
Passive safety: bodyshell
Passive safet y: airbags
High strength and consistent deformation
properties: t wo key safet y requirements
fulfilled by the multiphase steel used
throughout the body. Thanks to a safet y
