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
2 emissions by 25 %.1)
Not least thanks to a weight saving of
185 k g.

Optimum traction and safet y are pro -
vided by Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 47) active all-wheel drive. Also
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.

Compression with precision.
Essential for getting right to the point.
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
DFI injects fuel directly into the combus -
tion chamber at up to 120 bar with milli -
second precision using electromagnetic
injectors. The injector position and spray
geometry have been carefully designed
to improve output, torque, fuel economy
and emissions. The swirling of the fuel as
it enters each chamber increases the
mixing of air and fuel, thereby enhancing
combustion. By forming the air/fuel mix -
ture directly in the combustion chamber,
DFI contributes to engine cooling. As a
result, it was possible to increase the
compression ratio and therefore power
and efficiency.
Direct fuel injection on the diesel
engine (common-rail injection system).
On the Cayenne Diesel, direct fuel injec -
tion comes courtesy of a common-rail
injection system. The injection pressure
is now up to 2,000 bar, ensuring optimum
distribution of the air/fuel mixture – for
greater performance. The piezoelectric
injectors provide flexible injection rate
adjustment, using exactly metered
quantities of fuel, with multiple injections
for each power stroke to deliver smooth
combustion.
Cooling systems.
A high-performance engine can only
maintain its maximum capability over
a long service life if all components are
operating consistently within a specific
temperature range. The engines in the
Cayenne models are therefore designed
for efficient cooling.
In order to reduce the frictional losses
that occur during warm-up, all Cayenne
models feature comprehensive thermal
management. Using intelligent control,
it activates the different cooling circuits
individually and on demand, thereby
ensuring that the optimum operating
temperature for the engine and trans -
mission is reached more quickly. This
minimises friction – and keeps fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions low.
The V8 engines have an enhanced coolant
management system offering effective
temperature control throughout the engine.
While 20 % of coolant flows longitudinally
through the crankcase, the remaining 80 %
serves the cylinder heads using the proven
cross-flow principle (from hot to cold).
On all Cayenne models, the piston heads
are cooled using oil-spray jets integrated
within the main lubrication system.
The entire cooling system is designed for
prolonged heav y-dut y use, e.g. off-road
driving or heav y towing and carrying
applications.
Lubrication.
The V8 engines use dry-sump lubrication
to ensure a consistent supply of oil in
all load conditions, especially in off-road
terrain. The oil reservoir is located inside
the engine. This saves on space and
reduces weight.
Oil is circulated around the V8 engines
using a demand-driven pump. This has
been designed for the toughest driving
scenarios on and off road, including per -
formance driving and extreme gradients.
The V6 engines have a wet-sump lubrica -
tion system. Ensuring a reliable supply of
oil, whatever the driving conditions.

2 emissions and efficiency class data, please refer to pages 150/151.

From urban jungle to the windy wilds.
The Cayenne is perfectly at home on any terrain.
Off-road capability.
Steep ascents leading to snow- covered
mountain lodges, boggy ground or
muddy, loose surfaces – all situations
that the Cayenne handles superbly with
intelligent all-wheel drive. The drive
systems featured on the Cayenne models
deliver exceptional torque. For plent y of
power on tap. On any terrain.
Operating concept.
With the help of Porsche Traction
Management (PTM), the Cayenne can
cope with even the most demanding
off-road scenarios. Simply move the
main off-road control on the centre
console forward or backward to select
one of up to three off-road modes
(depending on the model). Available
on the Cayenne, Cayenne Diesel,
Cayenne S, Cayenne GTS and Cayenne
Turbo, this
function readies the car for
off-road use or reverts the set ting to
normal road driving.
In Off-road Mode 1, for example, the
maps for all relevant systems, e.g. ABS,
are adapted to provide optimum traction.
In addition, High Level I is selected
on vehicles featuring air suspension
with PASM. If that ’s not enough, the air
suspension can be raised further to
High Level II to increase the approach/
departure angle and wading depth.
1)
Push the off-road control forward again
on the Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne GTS
and Cayenne Turbo to activate Off-road
Mode 2 – for even greater traction on difficult terrain, the multi-plate clutch can
be fully locked.
The electronically variable rear diffe
r-
ential on the optional Porsche Torque
Vectoring Plus (PT V Plus, p. 56) is inte -
grated within the all-wheel drive system.
This automatically ensures the optimum
distribution of drive torque on particular -
ly uneven surfaces. If one of the rear
wheels begins to slip, the rear differential
varies the amount of torque transmit ted
through each drive shaft, thereby restor -
ing traction. In Off-road Mode 3, the rear
differential can be manually locked using
the main off-road control. Then both
rear wheels receive the same amount of
torque, regardless of surface conditions.
The optional PDCC (p. 55) enables greater wheel articulation in all three
modes, improving traction still further.
For effective prevention of damage to the
underside of the car, all Cayenne models
can be equipped with optional off-road
underbody protection comprising rock
rails with integrated skid plates, a
reinforced engine-bay guard, additional
protection for fuel tank and rear axle,
and a second towing lug.
1) The Cayenne GTS has a steel -spring spor ts suspension with a 24 mm reduction in ride height (20 mm reduction with optional air suspension). This will lead to restricted capabilit y when driving of f road.

Making headway without getting in a spin.
An approach we thoroughly support.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).
A system for enhancing driving dynamics
and stability, PTV Plus offers variable
distribution of engine torque to the rear
wheels and electronically controlled rear
differential. Depending on the steering
angle, steering speed, throttle pedal
position, yaw velocit y and vehicle speed,
PT V Plus optimises steering response
and precision by applying brake pres -
sure to the left or right rear wheel, as
r equired. Specifically, this means that when enter
-
ing a corner at high speed, moderate
brake pressure is applied to the inside
rear wheel. This transfers drive torque to
the outside rear wheel which supports
the steering motion of the car, thereby
improving its cornering dynamics.
At slow and medium speeds, PT V Plus
considerably enhances agility and steer -
ing precision. At high speeds, during
fast cornering and under wheel spin, the
electronically controlled rear differential
ensures additional stabilit y. Also on
variable-grip surfaces, in the wet and on snow, PT V Plus – combined with Porsche
Traction Management (PTM, p. 47) and Porsche Stabilit y Management (PSM, p. 68)
– provides a major contribution to active
safety.
In off-road terrain, PT V Plus reduces
wheel spin on the rear wheels – even when towing heav y trailer loads. The
electronically controlled rear differential
can be fully locked using the off-road
control on the centre console.
Optional for the Cayenne, Cayenne S,
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping control
system. It offers continuous adjustment
of individual damping forces based on
current road conditions and driving st yle.
During performance driving or heav y off-
road use, there is an increased tendency
for the body to sway. PASM prevents
this from happening, thereby improving
stability and occupant comfort. PASM
has three setup modes: ‘Comfort ’,
‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)
Whichever one you select, the system
uses a series of sensors to monitor the
movement of the body. It also gathers
data on lateral acceleration, steering
angle, brake pressure and engine torque
and modifies the damping force on each
individual wheel in accordance with the
selected mode.
PASM remains active at all times. It
automatically adapts to the prevailing
driving conditions, enabling greater
car control and improving comfort and
safety.The Cayenne GTS is the only model in the
range to feature a steel-spring suspension
with a 24 mm reduction in ride height
including PASM. For a lower centre of
gravit y and even closer contact with the
road.
Optional for the Cayenne, Cayenne
Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid.
Standard on the Cayenne GTS.
Standard on the Cayenne Turbo:
air suspension with PASM.
