Cayenne S.
The Porsche ‘S’ has long been a mark   
of heightened sports performance and 
abundant reserves of power. On the 
  Cayenne S, it also stands for strength, 
agility and efficiency. 
At the heart of the car is a naturally aspir -
ated
 4.8-litre V8 engine featuring direct 
fuel injection (DFI, p. 40), VarioCam Plus 
(p. 39) and a t wo -stage intake manifold. 
This helps to reduce fuel consumption 
and emissions
1), while ensuring maximum 
output. In short: 294 kW (400 hp), max -
imum torque of 500 Nm and a top speed 
of 258 km/ h. The Cayenne S accelerates 
from 0 to 100 km/ h in as lit tle as 5.9 sec-
onds. Fuel consumption has been reduced 
by up to 23  % and CO2 emissions by as 
much as 26  %.1) The weight of the car   
has also been lowered by 180 kg.
1)
Drive is transmit ted to the road with 
smoothness and precision by the 
  standard eight-speed Tiptronic S, which 
includes gearshift controls on the 
  steering wheel. The result: optimum 
 
use of the available power reserves. 
Of course, to apply exceptional power 
like this effectively, it needs to be 
  harnessed and controlled. For example, 
by Porsche Traction Management (PTM, 
p. 47). On the Cayenne S, this active 
  all-wheel drive system features an 
  electronically variable, map-controlled 
multi-plate clutch, an automatic brake    differential (ABD) and anti-slip  
regulation 
(ASR). Working in   conjunction with ad-  
vanced Porsche   Stability Management 
(PSM, p. 68), PTM ensures the required 
torque split in every driving scenario. On 
or off road. During performance driving, 
as well as on leisurely journeys or when 
towing heav y loads. 
The design also reflects the impressive 
power within. The black slats on the air 
intakes make them appear larger, and 
the car wider. Other distinctive features 
include the 18-inch Cayenne S III wheels.
The Porsche ‘S’. A mark to which the 
Cayenne S holds true.

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.
