Power, precision and the potential for more.
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.

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.
1)
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.

E-power button.
The ‘e-power’ but ton can be used to
expand the range in which the vehicle

can be run solely on electric power, when
heading out of a residential area, for
instance. The throt tle map is adapted so
that the combustion engine is engaged
later than in ‘Normal’ mode depending
on performance requirements. This is
activated via a but ton on the centre

console.

B at ter y.
The hybrid system features a high-
voltage nickel metal hydride (NiMH) bat-
tery consisting of 240 cells. It provides
the electric machine with the energy required for the vehicle to drive short

distances solely on electric power.
The compact bat tery is located under the
loadspace floor in the luggage compart -
ment. Weighing approximately 80 kg,
its dimensions are 426 mm x 925 mm x
286 mm.
The bat tery is designed to last without
the need for any maintenance throughout
its entire life. As the electric machine
also functions as a generator, it can
charge the bat tery under certain condi -
tions when the combustion engine is in
part-throt tle mode and through energy
recovery during braking. A special bat tery management and cooling system main
-
tains a constant temperature and
protects the battery from overheating.
It also monitors the charge/discharge
processes. As a result, the life of the
bat tery is optimised and its suitabilit y
for everyday use ensured, while offering
a high capacit y: 1.7 kWh.
Systems that are usually dependent on
the output provided by the combustion
engine, such as climate control, power
steering and brake assist, run solely
on electricit y on the Cayenne S Hybrid.
As they do not rely on output from the
engine, these functions remain active
when the car is running in electric mode or when it is ‘coasting’ or gliding along
with the engine turned off.
In summary: despite its six- cylinder
powerplant, the Cayenne S Hybrid offers
performance levels that are comparable
with an eight-cylinder unit – but with
significantly lower fuel consumption. Also
when it comes to hybrid drives, we’ve
taken a completely new path. Hardly
surprising really, with a technology this
convincing.

Shedding weight.
Adding agility, economy and comfort.

Chassis.
Weight reduction.
The axle concept on the Cayenne models
features consistent lightweight con -
struc
tion. The results: enhanced driving
dynamics, lower fuel consumption and
optimum occupant comfort.
Front axle.
The chassis on the Cayenne models
offers a direct response – for a more
rewarding driving experience. The wish -
bones on the subframe-mounted front
suspension with high-mounted upper
arms are in aluminium. This axle design
ensures accurate wheel location, greater
agility and minimal interference on uneven
surfaces. The subframe is secured on
large rubber mountings that reduce road
noise to a minimum.
It is also specially constructed to increase
stability. For enhanced comfort and even
greater active and passive safet y. In the
event of an impact, the subframe deforms
in a predefined manner.
Rear axle.
The rear axle features multi-link suspen -
sion. Ideal for performance road and track
use, it also copes well with the extremely
high towing and carrying loads that are
possible with each Cayenne. The suspen -
sion struts are angled to allow longer
suspension travel and create a deeper and
wider cargo area. As well as providing
additional space, the car is also easier
to
load.
The rear axle design minimises dive and
squat under acceleration and braking.
It also improves mid-corner stability and
compensates for sudden load transfer. In short: it enables a more relaxed

way of driving. Examples of intelligent
lightweight construction on the rear
axle include hollow drive shafts.
Steering.
The steering system has been com pletely
revised and adapted for a more immediate
response and greater driving dynamics.
Around the straight-ahead pos ition, in
particular, the ratio is now more direct.
With the variable steering ratio and spe -
cial valve settings on the power-steering
system, optimum manoeuvrability is
ensured. The turning circle of the Cayenne
models is just 11.9 metres.
The steering column itself consists of
multiple collapsing sections linked by two
universal joints and a special deformation
element provides additional safet y in the
event of a front impact. Electro -hydraulic power steering is

used for the first time on the Cayenne S
Hybrid. The demand-driven pump only
provides assistance to the steering as
and when required, thereby contributing
to overall efficiency.
Power steering Plus.
Power steering Plus is a speed-sensitive
power-steering system.
At higher speeds, the steering becomes
firmer, inputs are more precise and
driver comfort is enhanced. At lower
speeds, it enables easy manoeuvrability
and parking.
Standard on the Cayenne S Hybrid.
Optional for all other Cayenne models.
