The concept behind every car we build   
is based around the pursuit of perform -
ance. This has been the case since 
1948. Another of our traditional core 
  values is efficiency. At Porsche, we are 
continually striving to find a successful 
balance between the two.
This is achieved using advanced engine 
concepts featuring technologies such   
as DFI (p. 40), VarioCam Plus (p. 39),   
the auto start /stop function (p. 38),   
the parallel full hybrid drive (p. 28) and 
consistent lightweight construction. Weight reduction is a key aspect of our 
design philosophy derived from our rich 
racing heritage. Part of our R&D Centre, 
the Motorsport Department is located in 
Weissach where it shares premises with 
the Automotive Industry Exhaust Emission 
Centre (ADA). Just a  
coincidence? We call 
it symbiosis.
In practice: the Cayenne is up to 185 kg 
lighter, depending on the model.
1) We   
have achieved this through the use of 
new, innovative weight-saving materials, 
the development of new production    technologies and functionalities, and a 
series of concept modifications. This 
 
has enabled us to halve the weight of 
the tailgate, for example. Innovative 
  materials are also a feature of the axle 
construction, with steel being replaced 
where possible by lightweight alterna -
tives such as aluminium and plastic.
The benefits for the driver: greater agilit y 
and driving dynamics – with lower fuel 
consumption. Efficiency at its best.
Great achievements are something to be proud of.
Even more so if they benefit the world around you.

Not just for the driver.
Storage compartments.
Comfort also means having the import   ant 
things at your fingertips when you need 
them. Which is why the Cayenne models 
offer a wide range of storage   options. 
These include door storage compartments 
with bot tle holders,   storage pockets on 
the front seat backrests, a glove com -
partment cooled by the air-conditioning 
system, a storage compartment in the 
centre console and a handy drawer 
beneath both the driver’s and front 
 
passenger’s seat.
Interior lighting.
The interior lighting concept with 
  delayed- off function is well thought- out   
to provide the required level of light 
whenever you need it. The generous 
standard equipment includes footwell 
  illumination front and rear, ignition lock 
illumination, a front light console with 
reading lights as well as reading lights at 
the rear. This is complemented by door 
entry lights, front and rear, and red door 
safet y lights. In addition, all Cayenne

illumination and a tailgate courtesy-light 
function.
