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.

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.
For fuel consumption, CO
2 emissions and efficiency class data, please refer to pages 150/151.1) Compared to previous model.

avoid the inconvenience of using a 
 conventional  key.
To enter the car, simply touch the door 
handle and the system automatically 
checks the encrypted access code on 
the key in your pocket. If the code is 
  accepted, the doors are unlocked and 
you can step inside. To start or stop the 
engine, simply turn the key in the ignition.

standard with an engine immobiliser and 
anti-theft alarm featuring ultrasonic inter
-
ior surveillance. 
The alarm circuit includes all four doors, 
bonnet, tailgate, rear screen, interior, 
  ignition and trailer (if fit ted). The immobiliser system works by auto
-
matically communicating with the vehicle 
key. If the key is approved, the engine 
can be started as normal.
When the key is removed from the igni -
tion, the steering column is automatically 
locked to provide additional securit y.  
 
Preparation for Porsche Vehicle   
Tracking System (PVTS).
This preparation enables future installa -
tion of the Porsche Vehicle Tracking 
  System (PVTS) obtainable from Porsche 
Tequipment. PV TS can be used to locate 
a stolen vehicle in 25 EU countries as 
well as Norway, Switzerland and Russia – 
irrespective of where you live.
Porsche Vehicle Tracking System (PV TS) with GPS tracking in the event of an alarm
The vehicle is not tracked continually, 
only when the alarm is triggered. In the 
event of vehicle theft or manipulation, or 
if the loss of the vehicle is reported by 
the owner, a silent alarm is automatically 
triggered. The package includes a spe -
cial wiring loom, higher capacit y bat tery 
(depending on vehicle specification) and 
tilt sensor for the alarm system.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
