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?

The only thing running low on long journeys:
fuel consumption.
Cayenne Diesel.
Boasting outstanding performance and
efficiency, the Cayenne Diesel is ideal for
longer journeys – offering high levels of
torque, while fuel consumption remains
low.
Its 3.0 -litre V6 turbo - diesel engine is now
more powerful and refined, and approxi -
mately 20 kg lighter.
1) The unit generates
180 kW (245 hp) and maximum torque
of 550 Nm. The sprint to 100 km/ h
requires just 7.6 seconds. Top speed is
220 km/ h. Fuel consumption now comes
in at just 7.2 l/100 km in the combined
test cycle.
2)
Direct fuel injection comes courtesy
of a common-rail injection system.
The piezoelectric injectors enable mul -
tiple injections at a pressure of up to 2,000 bar, ensuring optimum distribution
of the air/fuel mixture – for improved
dynamics.
The turbocharger on the Cayenne Diesel
features Variable Turbine Geometry
(V TG, p. 42). Combined with optimised
channelling of the intake air, it enhances
the charging effect, thereby generating
a higher output and impressive torque,
even at low engine speeds.
The standard eight-speed Tiptronic S
includes gearshift controls on the steer -
ing wheel. Transmit ting the high torque
of the Cayenne Diesel smoothly and
effectively, the eight gears are designed
to facilitate both economical driving with
low fuel consumption and performance
driving with emphatic acceleration. Porsche Traction Management (PTM,
p. 47)
permanent all-wheel drive with
self- locking centre differential transmits
the car’s power to all four wheels with
optimum precision and control.
Available as a no - cost option, the
100 -litre fuel tank increases the range
to well over 1,000 km while keeping
the engine rpm and noise levels low.
The Cayenne Diesel: proof that
a 100 -metre sprinter can also run
a marathon.

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.

(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.

Intelligent, discreet, responsive.
The ideal travelling companion.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
on the Cayenne, Cayenne S,
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM) is
an active all-wheel drive system with an
electronically variable, map-controlled
multi-plate clutch, automatic brake differ -
ential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR).
Torque is distributed bet ween the front
and rear axles by means of the electron -
ically variable multi-plate clutch. For the
toughest off-road terrain, the differential
can be locked using the PTM control
on the centre console. With the aid of
on-board sensors, the status of the car
is continuously monitored and the front/
rear split is adjusted to match changing
driving conditions. The sensors are used
to measure a range of values, including the rotational speed of all four wheels,
the lateral and longitudinal acceleration
of the car, and the current steering
angle.
If, for example, the rear wheels threaten
to lose traction under acceleration, a
greater proportion of drive torque is
automatically transmit ted to the front
axle by a more positive engagement of
the multi-plate clutch. In addition, ASR
minimises wheel spin. During cornering,
the required level of engine torque is
distributed to the front wheels to ensure
excellent lateral stability.
In conjunction with advanced Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM, p. 68), PTM
ensures the perfect distribution of drive
torque for optimum traction in all road
scenarios, whether on long straights,
through tight corners or on surfaces
with different friction coefficients. If one
of the wheels is about to lose traction,
PTM uses the ABD function to apply the
corresponding brake. As a result, more
drive is automatically transferred to
the opposite wheel. If both wheels on
one axle are in danger of slipping, ASR
immediately intervenes and modifies
engine output to maintain drive. As well as enhancing traction and active safet y,
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
offers exceptional handling and driving
dynamics.Standard on the Cayenne, Cayenne S,
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.

Porsche Traction Management
(PTM) on the Cayenne Diesel and
Cayenne S Hybrid.
The Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne S
Hybrid feature a permanent all-wheel
drive system with self-locking centre
differential. This provides a standard
torque split of 60 % to the rear and
40 % to the front. If one of the wheels
is about to lose grip, the self-locking
centre differential transmits the torque
to the axle offering the highest level of
traction.
The ASR and ABD systems
work in the same way as in the PTM on
the Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne GTS
and Cayenne Turbo.
On the Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne S
Hybrid, PTM also enables variable distribution of engine torque to the rear
wheels, thereby enhancing steering pre
-
cision and driving dynamics. Specifically,
this means that when entering a corner
at high speed, moderate brake pressure
is applied to the inside rear wheel.
This supports the steering motion of
the car, thereby improving its cornering
dynamics.
Standard on the Cayenne Diesel and
Cayenne S Hybrid.
Downhill assistance.
A standard feature on all Cayenne models,
Porsche Hill Control (PHC) provides
downhill assistance by maintaining a
constant rate of speed on extreme downhill gradients. It is activated via a
switch on the centre console. The speed
can be set to bet ween 3 and 30 km/ h.

power on tap. On any terrain.
Operating concept.
With the help of Porsche Traction
Management (PTM), the Cayenne can
cope with even the most demanding
off-road scenarios. Simply move the
main off-road control on the centre
console forward or backward to select
one of up to three off-road modes
(depending on the model). Available
on the Cayenne, Cayenne Diesel,
Cayenne S, Cayenne GTS and Cayenne
Turbo, this
function readies the car for
off-road use or reverts the set ting to
normal road driving.
In Off-road Mode 1, for example, the
maps for all relevant systems, e.g. ABS,
are adapted to provide optimum traction.
In addition, High Level I is selected
on vehicles featuring air suspension
with PASM. If that ’s not enough, the air
suspension can be raised further to
High Level II to increase the approach/
departure angle and wading depth.
1)
Push the off-road control forward again
on the Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne GTS
and Cayenne Turbo to activate Off-road
Mode 2 – for even greater traction on difficult terrain, the multi-plate clutch can
be fully locked.
The electronically variable rear diffe
r-
ential on the optional Porsche Torque
Vectoring Plus (PT V Plus, p. 56) is inte -
grated within the all-wheel drive system.
This automatically ensures the optimum
distribution of drive torque on particular -
ly uneven surfaces. If one of the rear
wheels begins to slip, the rear differential
varies the amount of torque transmit ted
through each drive shaft, thereby restor -
ing traction. In Off-road Mode 3, the rear
differential can be manually locked using
the main off-road control. Then both
rear wheels receive the same amount of
torque, regardless of surface conditions.
The optional PDCC (p. 55) enables greater wheel articulation in all three
modes, improving traction still further.
For effective prevention of damage to the
underside of the car, all Cayenne models
can be equipped with optional off-road
underbody protection comprising rock
rails with integrated skid plates, a
reinforced engine-bay guard, additional
protection for fuel tank and rear axle,
and a second towing lug.
1) The Cayenne GTS has a steel -spring spor ts suspension with a 24 mm reduction in ride height (20 mm reduction with optional air suspension). This will lead to restricted capabilit y when driving of f road.

Air suspension.
The Cayenne models can be equipped
with an air suspension system featuring
self-levelling, ride-height control and
PASM (p. 57)
1) – for enhanced driving
dynamics and comfort. The self-levelling
facility maintains a constant ground
clearance, which can easily be adjusted using the ride-height control on the
centre console.
Air suspension with PASM standard
on the Cayenne Turbo. Optional for all
other Cayenne models.
Steel-spring suspension.
The steel-spring suspension meets
high-level requirements in terms of per
-
formance, driving pleasure and off-road
capability. Consistent lightweight con -
struction – e.g. through the increased
use of aluminium – results in improved
driving dynamics, greater fuel economy
and enhanced comfort. The steel-spring suspension with a 24 mm reduction in
ride height on the Cayenne GTS is
designed to
deliver one thing above
all else: sports performance.
Standard on the Cayenne, Cayenne
Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid
and Cayenne GTS.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC).
Available as an option in conjunction
with air suspension, Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) is an active
anti-roll system that further enhances the
extraordinary road holding and precision
handling of the Cayenne models. PDCC
anticipates and significantly reduces
lateral body movement when cornering
with the aid of the active anti-roll bars
featuring hydraulic swivel motors on
the front and rear axles. The system
responds to the current steering angle
and lateral acceleration by producing a
stabilising force that precisely negates
the swaying
force of the body. The bene-
fits are greater agilit y at every speed,
more responsive steering, stable load transfer characteris
tics and enhanced
occupant comfort. When off-road mode
is selected via a switch on the centre
console, this allows the t wo halves of
each anti-roll bar to rotate further in
opposition to each other. This in turn
enables greater wheel articu lation and
ensures that each individual wheel has
more contact with the ground, improving
traction on uneven surfaces.
Optional for the Cayenne, Cayenne S,
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.
