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.

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.

As on every Porsche, the interior of the
Cayenne is designed around the driver,
combining sporting st yle with the very
highest standards of ergonomics, com
-
fort and quality.
Particularly striking features include the
way the centre console rises to meet
the dashboard – clearly inspired by the
Carrera GT. This immediately enhances
the interior structure, a continuation of
the car’s dynamic exterior lines. The seat
position and sports steering wheel offer
exceptional support and contact – for an
even sportier ride.
Our benchmark for exceptional driver comfort?
An out-and-out sports car.
Comfort.
A t ypical Porsche feature: the five round
instruments form the familiar cluster and
are slightly raised from the dashboard as
a visual unit. The high-resolution 4.8-inch
TFT colour screen displays information
from the on-board computer or, in con -
junction with PCM including navigation
module, map data from the navigation
system. It also shows the set tings of the
optional adaptive cruise control (p. 110)
or gives various warnings, such as alerts
from Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM,
p. 58), which is also available as an option.
On the Cayenne S Hybrid, the display also
provides information about the energy
management. Oil pressure, oil and coolant temperature
as well as the fuel level are displayed
using analogue gauges, while the boost
pressure gauge on the Cayenne Turbo is
digital. A compass display in the instrument
cluster is available as an
option in conjunc-
tion with PCM. This shows the four cardinal
and four ordinal directions with degree
increments as well as your current altitude.
The steering column offers manual height
and reach adjustment (electrically adjust -
able on the Cayenne Turbo). The steering
wheel rim is in smooth-finish leather. As is the optional SportDesign steering
wheel with gearshift paddles (standard on
the Cayenne GTS) – for genuine race-
st yle gearshift action. Also available as
an option, the multifunction steering
wheel enables easy access to a range of
functions including audio and telephone.

The car is ergonomically designed
around the vehicle occupants for
optimum comfort. Frequently used
controls are grouped logically together
on the centre console to enable you
to select individual functions quickly
and easily.
Other practical features include door
storage compartments with bot tle
holders front and rear.
The rear seats provide manual fore/aft
adjustment as well as backrest adjust -
ment and a 40/20/40 split-folding
facility, thereby increasing the storage
capacit y from 580 to 1,780 litres
(depending on the model). All Cayenne models are fit ted with
electric windows, front and rear, with
door-lock open/close facility as well

as climate control and remote central
locking.
The interior features a selection of qualit y
materials available in a variety of combin -
ations, all of which reflect true Porsche
heritage. The palet te of colours and fin -
ishes ranges from elegant to sport y, and
includes a selection of fine woods, alumin-
ium and carbon – for a race-inspired look.
If purist is your st yle, the Cayenne GTS
offers extraordinary scope for interior
personalisation: in conjunction
with the
leather interior in Black, the
optional
Leather interior in Platinum Grey with anthracite birch interior package (wood)
GTS interior package in Carmine Red
‘GTS’ logo in Carmine Red on head restraint
GTS interior packages1) give you the
opportunit y to add stunning highlights –
either in Carmine Red or Peridot.
They consist of elements such as the
embroidered ‘GTS’ logo on the head
restraints on the front and outer rear
seats, front and rear seat belts and dec -
orative seams on the dashboard, upper
door panels and armrests in contrasting
colour. The athleticism of the Cayenne
GTS is further underlined by an Alcantara
finish. Used extensively in motor racing,
it offers particularly good grip. These are just a few of the options avail
-
able
to help you design the Cayenne
interior to suit your individual taste.
