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?

Six-speed manual gearbox.
The six-speed manual gearbox on the
Cayenne has been specifically adapted
for the demands of high-performance
use. The gear lever throw is short and
precise, and each of the six ratios has
been selected for optimum progression
through the gears. As the centre console
rises to meet the dashboard, the gear
lever is close to hand – for an even more
engaging drive.
The standard upshift display in the
instrument cluster helps to reduce fuel
consumption further still. Eight-speed Tiptronic S is also available
as an option on the Cayenne in conjunc
-
tion with the auto start/stop function.
Standard on the Cayenne.
Eight-speed Tiptronic S.
The outstanding feature of the eight-
speed Tiptronic S is a particularly wide
ratio spread. 1st gear is designed for
optimum acceleration when pulling away
and greater performance when tackling
ascents and towing loads in off-road
terrain. Top speed is reached in 6th gear
(in 7th gear on the Cayenne Diesel). The
remaining upper gears are used to lower
the revs at high speed, thereby enhanc -
ing fuel economy and occupant comfort. On the motorway in particular, driving

at low revs will significantly reduce the
noise level inside the vehicle.
In automatic mode, the driver can influ -
ence gearshifts on the Tiptronic S using
the throt tle and brakes alone. Tiptronic S
automatically adapts the gearshift points
for performance driving – equally, if a
more defensive driving st yle is detected,
the system selects a gearshift point that
offers maximum fuel economy. Under
heav y braking, Tiptronic S shifts down to
maximise engine braking.
An electric pump is used to maintain the
required pressure of the transmission fluid,
e.g. to transmit high levels of torque
at
lower engine speeds. The standard sports steering wheel in
conjunction with Tiptronic S has two
ergonomic switches for manual gear
changes. One press forward with the
thumb and Tiptronic S shifts up. One

pull backwards with the index finger and
Tiptronic S shifts down. Either the right
or left-hand switch can be used. The
result: an even more dynamic response
when changing gear.
Standard on the Cayenne Diesel,
Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid,

Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.
Optional for the Cayenne.

Outstanding brake performance.
To the point.
Braking systems.
Porsche brakes are renowned worldwide
as the benchmark in performance and
durability. Equipped with larger and more
powerful braking systems, the Cayenne
models continue this tradition by offering
excellent deceleration – even when the
car is fully laden with five adult occu -
pants, a full complement of luggage and
a braked trailer load of up to 3,500 kg
(Cayenne with manual gearbox: 2,700 kg).
All Cayenne models have internally
vented discs all round, ensuring con -
sistent performance during heav y use. The front disc dimensions (diameter/
thickness) are 350 mm/34 mm on
the Cayenne and Cayenne Diesel,
360 mm/36 mm on the Cayenne S,
Cayenne S Hybrid and Cayenne GTS, and
390 mm/38 mm on the Cayenne Turbo.
All models have
six-piston monobloc

aluminium brake calipers at the front
and four-piston equivalents at the rear.
The calipers are black on the Cayenne
and Cayenne Diesel and silver on the
Cayenne S and Cayenne S Hybrid. On
the Cayenne GTS and the Cayenne Turbo,
they feature a striking red paint finish.

Braking is assisted by a tandem booster
and large brake master cylinder. Further
assistance is provided by PSM (p. 68).
For greater safet y, the brake pads are
equipped with wear sensors, alerting
the driver when new pads are required.
Electric parking brake.
Manually activated and deactivated,
the electric parking brake releases
automatically as you drive off.
Automatic hold function.
With the automatic hold function, you
can pull away on the flat or a slope
without ever rolling back. The system
automatically detects when the vehicle
has come to a halt on an uphill gradient.
PSM then maintains the brake pressure
at all four wheels for a brief period to
prevent the vehicle from moving in the
opposite direction.

Recuperation.
The electronic engine management sys -
tem on the Cayenne S Hybrid controls
the braking process so that, when
the brake pedal is actuated, as much
expended energy as possible can be

harnessed by the electric machine in gen-
erator mode and stored in the 288-volt
nickel metal hydride (NiMH) bat tery. This
is referred to as recuperation. To do this,
the engine management system adjusts
the generator current depending on the
brake pedal position, recovers part of
the kinetic energy and stores it in the
bat tery. When the pressure on the brake
pedal exceeds a certain threshold, the
brakes are applied.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).

Available as an option on all Cayenne
models, the Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB) has already proven its
abilit y to cope with the harshest require -
ments of the racetrack. It is available in
conjunction with 20-inch wheels or larger
for the Cayenne Turbo and with 19-inch
wheels or larger for all other Cayenne
models.
The discs are made from a specially
treated carbon-fibre compound that is
silicated in a high-vacuum process at
approximately 1,700 °C. The resulting
material is not only much harder than
cast iron, it is also more resistant to
heat.
Even at high temperatures, the thermal
resistance of the PCCB disc ensures
outstanding dimensional stability. The
ceramic material is totally resistant to
corrosion and offers excellent acoustic
damping properties.
PCCB enables shorter braking distances
– no mat ter how tough the driving
conditions. The pedal response is fast
and precise with only moderate input
required. Excellent fade resistance
ensures greater balance when slowing
from high speed.
The key advantage of PCCB is a total
weight saving of approximately 50
%
compared with equivalent cast-iron discs.
As well as enhancing performance and fuel economy, the unsprung and rotating
masses are lightened. The results:
greater comfort and road-holding on
uneven road surfaces plus better
handling and agility.
Optional for all Cayenne models.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
Porsche Stabilit y Management (PSM) is
an electronic control system that uses a
range of functions – including anti-lock
braking (ABS) – to help stabilise the
vehicle (and trailer, if fit ted) in hazardous
road scenarios. Throughout each journey,
sensors monitor the direction, speed,
yaw velocit y and lateral acceleration of
the car. Using this information, it is pos-
sible to calculate the actual direction of
travel at any given moment. If the car
begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM
applies selective braking on individual
wheels to restore stabilit y. If necessary,
PSM can also intervene in the engine
management system to temporarily
modify the amount of drive transmitted
to the wheels. PSM has three additional functions that
help reduce braking distances. If the
throt tle pedal is released suddenly, PSM
automatically readies the braking sys
-
tem. The pressure in the brake lines
is marginally increased, bringing each
of the pads into light contact with the
corresponding disc. If the driver goes on
to apply the brakes, the calipers respond
more quickly and the braking distance is
reduced.
In an emergency stop – i.e. when the
pressure on the brake pedal exceeds
a certain threshold – the brake assist
function uses the PSM hydraulics to
apply maximum braking force at all
four wheels.
Preparing for the road ahead.
With a little help from PSM.
For added safet y, the system also read -
ies the brakes whenever a decreasing
distance to the vehicle in front is detect -
ed. The optional adaptive cruise control
and PSM interact to prefill the brakes.
Even if adaptive cruise control is inactive,
the system registers the speed of the
vehicle in front and automatically readies
the braking system. In addition, the sys -
tem alerts the driver to the decreasing
distance by briefly tugging on the
brakes.
PSM also features a trailer stabilisation
function – for a significant contribution
to car and trailer safet y. Within the laws
of physics, it compensates for load
transfer caused by throt tle and brake inputs up to the maximum degree of
lateral acceleration. It also enhances the
car’s driving dynamics and directional
stability when accelerating on inconsis
-
tent road surfaces.
Other features include a special control
strategy in the ABS for braking on loose
surfaces. By briefly locking the wheels,
a wedge is formed ahead of each t yre
which provides additional purchase to
help slow the car, e.g. on gravel or snow.
For a more involving driving experience,
PSM can also be disabled, but remains
active in the background.
Standard on all Cayenne models.

Speed limit indicator.
The speed limit indicator informs the
driver about speed restrictions, restric -
tions on overtaking and when these
no longer apply, which is recorded using
a camera.
Information is shown on the colour TFT
display in the instrument cluster and
via PCM. If the driver misses a traffic
sign – e.g. due to heav y rainfall or
darkness – the speed limit stored in
the navigation module is automatically
displayed.
This leaves the driver free to focus on
the road ahead.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
Speed limit indicator
Adaptive cruise control with
Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
Optional on all Cayenne models, adaptive
cruise control regulates the speed of your
vehicle in line with that of the ve hicle in
front. To do that, the system uses a radar
sensor in the central air intake to monitor
the road up to 200 m ahead.
If you approach another vehicle that is
travelling slower than your selected
cruising speed, the system slows the
engine or gently applies the brakes.

This continues until the distance that
you have preset is maintained. If heavier
braking is required, the driver has to

actively intervene. Your vehicle will
now follow the one in front at a reduced
speed.
If the other vehicle decelerates further,
adaptive cruise control will continue to
reduce your speed – even down to a halt.
When the road ahead is free once more,
the car automatically returns to your
selected cruising speed between 30 and
210 km/ h. To pull away after an auto -
matic stop, simply use the control lever
or depress the accelerator pedal.
If selected by the driver, the integrated
Stop & Go function automatically applies
the brakes and then drives off again in
congested traf fic.
For added safet y, the system also
features integrated Porsche Active Safe
(PAS). The system visually and audibly
alerts the driver in the event of a sudden
decrease in distance and briefly tugs
on the brakes. It can also intervene in
the braking process and apply increased
braking pressure through to all- out emer -
gency braking, if required.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
Adaptive cruise control
