We’ve been building sports cars for more

than 60 years. During that time, we’ve

brought race-proven technologies to the

road – and

everyday driving.

Yet the Cayenne is anything but

ordinary – especially in the SUV

segment. We’ve also continued to

drive forward the Cayenne concept.

The result: a car that brings us closer

to the fascinating appeal of the sports

car than ever before. With higher

performance, typical Porsche design

genes and an interior that delivers

true sports car appeal.

The Cayenne

The Cayenne. To the point.

Those who develop talent reap the reward.

Sometimes in more ways than one.

The Cayenne models.

When we launched the first Cayenne in

2002, it was met with great scepticism.

Can it still be considered a Porsche at

all? Our reply: never before in the history

of the company, had a model gone

from 0 to 100,000 sold units so quickly.

The second-generation Cayenne too has

firmly established itself in the SUV

market, demonstrating that exceptional

sports car performance is not just

restricted to the road, while the first

Cayenne Diesel proved once more

that we are not afraid to follow uncon-

ventional paths.

The success story continued to gather

momentum in 2010 – with the sum of the

ideas inherent in every Porsche.

Innovative drive systems have led to

greater efficiency: fuel consumption has

been reduced by up to 23 % and CO2

emissions by up to 26 %. This was

achieved thanks to the Cayenne models

being considerably lighter, with each

one weighing up to 185 kg less than the

respective previous model. They also

feature a host of advanced technologies

such as the auto start/stop function

(p. 38). All this has made our vehicles

more dynamic, practical and comfortable

than ever before.

For increased comfort and safety there’s

a range of driver assistance systems

including the optional adaptive cruise

control (p. 110) with Porsche Active Safe

(PAS). Ensuring a phenomenal sound

experience in every seat position is the

optional Burmester® High-End Surround

Sound System (p. 96).

The most innovative – and therefore in

keeping with the rest of the Porsche

family – is the Cayenne S Hybrid. Its par-

allel full hybrid system (p. 28) harnesses

the power of an electric machine (motor/

generator) and an internal combustion

engine. This provides several clear

benefits for the driver: outstanding

sports car performance combined with

excellent fuel economy. Once again,

typically Porsche.

The Cayenne Diesel is no exception.

The drive system is based on the tried-

and-tested Porsche principle. We’ve

just refined the concept, making it even

lighter and more powerful.

The Cayenne and Cayenne S offer

increased power and efficiency, while

also delivering exceptional capability

off road. The result: greater driving

pleasure with reduced fuel consumption

and CO2 emissions. On and off road.

This has also been achieved through the

use of advanced technologies such as

direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 40), eight-

speed Tiptronic S (p. 44) and VarioCam

Plus (p. 39). The interaction between

all components has also been optimised.

The Cayenne GTS: an SUV descended

from a thoroughbred sports car. The

purist among Cayenne models, it is

extremely close to the road. With excep-

tional performance, a reduction in ride

height and an engine note typical of the

GTS, it offers one thing above all else:

pure sporting prowess.

Another of our principles: high per-

formance should never come at the

expense of comfort or safety, and

this is something we have kept to. Even

with a car offering the phenomenal out-

put of the Cayenne Turbo. Its 4.8-litre V8

powerplant develops 368 kW (500 hp),

which is guaranteed to set pulse rates

climbing and send a shiver down the

spine – both natural reactions in a turbo-

charged Porsche.

Standard active safety features include

Bi-Xenon main headlights with the

Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS,

p. 63). For greater comfort and perform-

ance, the car is equipped as standard

with eight-speed Tiptronic S (p. 44), while

Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus,

p. 56) enhances driving dynamics and

stability.

As always, we’ve focused on what’s really

important. To the point: the Cayenne

models.

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 view.

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

practicality has led to an interior that

is both sporty 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.

Everything has changed.

Information Provided by:

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 kg1) 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 heavy 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 CO2 emissions. The

figures speak for themselves: maximum

torque of 400 Nm, 220 kW (300 hp),

a top speed of 230 km/h and the ability

to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in

7.5 seconds. With both fuel consumption

and CO2 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

trans mitted through a high-performance

and increased traction. Drive

is

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 fitted 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

practicality that is typical of Porsche.

Let’s be honest, would you have expected

anything else?

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

2,000 bar, ensuring optimum distribution

of the air/fuel mixture – for improved

dynamics.

The turbocharger on the Cayenne Diesel

features Variable Turbine Geometry

(VTG, 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. Transmitting 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.

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 two-stage intake manifold.

This helps to reduce fuel consumption

and emissions1), 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 little 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.

Drive is transmitted 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 heavy 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.

A hybrid is like a good marriage.

Information Provided by:

Only with two better halves.

Cayenne S Hybrid.

We have always gone our own way. This

is the hallmark of our independent spirit.

Only thus can we continue to meet our

high performance standards. And yours.

For the Cayenne S Hybrid we chose a

highly sophisticated technical concept

that perfectly embodies the key principle

of an alternative drive: efficiency.

The parallel full hybrid drive (p. 28) on

the Cayenne S Hybrid features a 3.0-litre

V6 supercharged engine and an electric

machine (motor/generator) that provides

additional power on demand. It offers

levels of acceleration that are compar-

able with a V8 unit, but with a reduction

of up to 22 % in both fuel consumption

and CO2 emissions compared to the

Cayenne S.

The engine delivers 245 kW (333 hp),

while the electric machine generates

34 kW (47 hp). Working in tandem,

they produce a total output of 279 kW

(380 hp).

With a top speed of 242 km/h, acceler-

ation from 0 to 100 km/h takes 6.5 sec-

onds. Maximum torque is 580 Nm.

On the parallel full hybrid system, the

electric machine and a decoupler are

integrated directly into the drivetrain

between the combustion engine and the

eight-speed Tiptronic S. The decoupler

ensures positive engagement with the

combustion engine, thereby offering

several benefits – both for the driver

and the environment.

Under moderate acceleration, the

electric machine can power the vehicle

independently. In order to drive quietly

through residential areas, for example.

The generator can also be used to

recuperate energy during braking, i.e.

for charging the battery.

In addition, the electric machine can be

used to boost performance – for faster

acceleration.

Other energy-saving features include the

car’s ability to glide along, even when the

engine is turned off. The hybrid system

therefore also brings significant advan-

tages when not driving in urban traffic,

as the vehicle can simply ‘coast ’ along

many stretches of road without any

power at all. Together with the auto

start/stop function, the parallel full

hybrid system offers exceptional levels

of performance and efficiency.

The ‘hybrid’ designation on each front

wing alludes to the innovative drive con-

cept within.

Inside the car, the TFT colour display

in the instrument cluster provides

information on the current energy flow.

Further driving data is displayed via

the optional Porsche Communication

Management (PCM).

But the greatest benefit of all:

the Cayenne S Hybrid is a Porsche.

And it drives like one too.

Cayenne GTS.

GTS – three unmistakable letters which, in

conjunction with the name Porsche, have

written history both on and off the track.

Three letters that combine exceptional

racing performance with superb everyday

agility and that, at Porsche, have always

stood for impressive figures.

Good reasons to take a closer look at the

Cayenne GTS. A concept reduced to its

essential elem ents: output, performance,

intelligence. A concept that is true to its

roots: the tarmac – the place where life

happens for purists.

In the Cayenne GTS beats the heart of a

pure-bred athlete that knows only one

direction: straight ahead. The up rat

delivers 309 kW (420 hp) and maximum

torque of 515 Nm. The benchmark sprint

from 0 to 100 km/ h is completed in

at 261 km/h.

The Cayenne GTS is also highly efficient –

thanks to standard fuel-saving technolo-

gies including the auto start/stop function

(p. 38), VarioCam Plus (p. 39) and direct

fuel injection (DFI, p. 40).

The ride height on the steel-spring sports

suspension is 24 mm lower than on the

other Cayenne models – for a lower

How could we make the Cayenne more

powerful and yet, at the same time,

more efficient? Where should we start?

It’s obvious, really. 1948 – where else?

That’s when the values that we hold

so dearly today – and will continue to

do so in the future – were established.

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 variety 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

standing performance

fuel consumption.

Another example of a track-derived racing

vehicle is the 911 GT3 R Hybrid. With

its front-wheel hybrid drive and flywheel

engine to deliver out-

with incredibly low

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 between 3,000 and 5,250 rpm,

enabling a low-rev, economical driving

style while offering exceptional reserves

of power.

Decoupler Protective housing Electric machine

Hybrid module

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

maximum torque of 580 Nm,

(380 hp) and

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.

On the parallel full hybrid system, the

electric machine is integrated directly

into the drivetrain. The hybrid module

is situated between 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

E-power button.

Information Provided by:

The ‘e-power’ button 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 throttle map is adapted so

that the combustion engine is engaged

later than in ‘Normal’ mode depending

on performance requirements. This is

activated via a button on the centre

console.

Battery.

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 battery 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 battery under certain condi-

tions when the combustion engine is in

part-throttle mode and through energy

recovery during braking. A special battery

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

battery is optimised and its suitability

for everyday use ensured, while offering

a high capacity: 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 electricity 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.

Engine technology.

Auto start/stop function.

The Cayenne models that are equipped

with eight-speed Tiptronic S also feature

an auto start/stop function. If, for ex -

ample, you stop at traffic lights and keep

your foot on the brake pedal, the auto

start/stop function will automatically

cut the engine. Although the engine is

not running, all audio and communication

systems remain switched on and the

standard climate control continues to

maintain the selected temperature. The

only changes you’ll perceive: peace

and quiet and – thanks to greater fuel

economy – also peace of mind.

The system is deactivated in certain

situations, e.g. if the outside temperature

is very high or the battery charge is low.

The starter motor has been revised to

cope with the additional demands of the

system, and the bat tery charge and life

are continuously monitored. The battery

and starter motor are replacement parts

that are subject to greater wear and tear

with frequent use of the auto start/stop

function.

Standard on the Cayenne Diesel,

Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid,

Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.

Available as an option for the Cayenne in

conjunction with the optional Tiptronic S.

VarioCam Plus.

VarioCam Plus creates two engines out

of one by steplessly adjusting the inlet

valve timing and lift.

The system differentiates between nor-

mal road usage and performance driving,

adapting seamlessly as driver inputs

change. All functions are automatically

controlled by the engine management

system. All you experience is responsive

acceleration and ultra-smooth running

characteristics. Inlet valve timing is

steplessly adjusted. To improve response

when starting from cold, for example,

VarioCam Plus selects the higher lift

setting and retards valve timing.

At medium revs and minimal load, the

valve lift is lowered and timing advanced

to minimise fuel consumption and emis-

sions. At low engine speeds in particular,

VarioCam Plus significantly improves fuel

economy. To achieve maximum power

and torque, the valve lift is raised.

Overall, the system provides greater

performance with relatively modest fuel

consumption.

Standard on the Cayenne S,

Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.

Variable valve timing.

The V6 engine in the Cayenne features

variable valve timing on both inlet and

exhaust. The camshaft phase angles

are continuously varied by the engine

management system via rotary-vane

adjusters.

On the Cayenne S Hybrid, the inlet valve

timing is continuously adjusted.

The key benefits include better fuel

economy and lower emissions. It also

helps to generate greater power and

torque – even at low engine speeds.

Compression with precision.

Essential for getting right to the point.

Direct fuel injection (DFI).

DFI injects fuel directly into the combus-

tion chamber at up to 120 bar with milli-

second precision using electromagnetic

injectors. The injector position and spray

geometry have been carefully designed

to improve output, torque, fuel economy

and emissions. The swirling of the fuel as

it enters each chamber increases the

mixing of air and fuel, thereby enhancing

combustion. By forming the air/fuel mix-

ture directly in the combustion chamber,

DFI contributes to engine cooling. As a

result, it was possible to increase the

compression ratio and therefore power

and efficiency.

Direct fuel injection on the diesel
engine (common-rail injection system).

On the Cayenne Diesel, direct fuel injec-

tion comes courtesy of a common-rail

injection system. The injection pressure

is now up to 2,000 bar, ensuring optimum

distribution of the air/fuel mixture – for

greater performance. The piezoelectric

injectors provide flexible injection rate

adjustment, using exactly metered

quantities of fuel, with multiple injections

for each power stroke to deliver smooth

combustion.

Cooling systems.

A high-performance engine can only

maintain its maximum capability over

a long service life if all components are

operating consistently within a specific

temperature range. The engines in the

Cayenne models are therefore designed

for efficient cooling.

In order to reduce the frictional losses

that occur during warm-up, all Cayenne

models feature comprehensive thermal

management. Using intelligent control,

it activates the different cooling circuits

individually and on demand, thereby

ensuring that the optimum operating

temperature for the engine and trans-

mission is reached more quickly. This

minimises friction – and keeps fuel

consumption and CO2 emissions low.

The V8 engines have an enhanced coolant

management system offering effective

temperature control throughout the engine.

While 20 % of coolant flows longitudinally

through the crankcase, the remaining 80 %

serves the cylinder heads using the proven

cross-flow principle (from hot to cold).

On all Cayenne models, the piston heads

are cooled using oil-spray jets integrated

within the main lubrication system.

The entire cooling system is designed for

prolonged heavy-duty use, e.g. off-road

driving or heavy towing and carrying

applications.

Lubrication.

The V8 engines use dry-sump lubrication

to ensure a consistent supply of oil in

all load conditions, especially in off-road

terrain. The oil reservoir is located inside

the engine. This saves on space and

reduces weight.

Oil is circulated around the V8 engines

using a demand-driven pump. This has

been designed for the toughest driving

scenarios on and off road, including per-

formance driving and extreme gradients.

The V6 engines have a wet-sump lubrica-

tion system. Ensuring a reliable supply of

oil, whatever the driving conditions.

emissions and efficiency class data, please refer to pages 150/151.

Air intake system.

Information Provided by:

The Cayenne models are all equipped

with a resonance air intake system.

This technology uses the pressure waves

generated by the inlet valves to ‘force’ air

into the engine.

The effect is further enhanced on the V6

engine in the Cayenne and the V8 engine

in the Cayenne S and the Cayenne GTS

by a two-stage intake manifold. This vari-

able geometry combines all the benefits

of a long intake tube (higher torque at

low rpm) with those of a shorter length

(more power at higher rpm).

The result: highly impressive torque

ratings across the entire engine speed

range.

Turbocharging system in the
Cayenne Turbo.

In the Cayenne Turbo, the engine is

assisted by twin turbocharger units

arranged in parallel – one for each bank

of cylinders. Incoming air is passed

through a filter and compressed by the

turbine units. Its temperature is then

reduced in the twin intercooler system,

which improves cylinder charging and

limits thermal loads on the engine.

Supercharging system in the
Cayenne S Hybrid.

The engine in the Cayenne S Hybrid is

equipped with a supercharger. For a

more direct response, even at low revs

and road speeds. The supercharger has

a low-temperature water cooling system

Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) in
the Cayenne Diesel.

The turbocharger in the Cayenne Diesel

features Variable Turbine Geometry

(VTG). The gas-flow from the engine

is channelled onto the turbines via elec-

tronically adjustable guide vanes. By

changing the vane angle, the system can

replicate the geometry in all types of

turbo, large or small, and thus achieve

the optimum gas-flow characteristics.

As a result, even at low engine rpm,

the turbine speed is maximised. For a

significant increase in boost pressure,

excellent cylinder charging plus greater

power and torque.

for cooling the charge air.

For fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and efficiency class data, please refer to pages 150/151.

Electronic engine management.

Cultured performance in all driving

scenarios requires comprehensive

engine control. The electronic engine

management system does this by

continually monitoring the relevant input

data from a variety of sophisticated

sensors. This data is then compared with

a corresponding set of reference values.

Based on this information, a range of

key engine functions, e.g. ignition and

injection timings as well as injection

quantities, are seamlessly and auto-

matically adjusted. Other major functions

include on-board recuperation. It ensures

that the on-board power supply is only

replenished while the vehicle is on the

overrun. This boosts fuel economy as

well as performance, and ensures max-

imum engine output during acceleration.

All this goes unnoticed by the driver,

apart from the obvious benefits: lower

fuel consumption and CO2 emissions plus

greater power and torque at all times.

Exhaust system.

The lightweight exhaust systems in the

Cayenne models are made from special,

long-life stainless steel. The key features

of the catalysts are high efficiency,

faster warm-up and a long service life.

Sports exhaust system.

Available as an option on the Cayenne

and Cayenne S and included as standard

on the Cayenne GTS, the sports exhaust

system1) provides an even more distinct-

ive sound. For the looks to match, it

comes with a specially designed set of

twin dual-tube tailpipes with a high-gloss

finish. On the Cayenne GTS, these are

finished in matt black.

All exhaust systems, standard and

sports, comply with the EU 5 emissions

legislation.

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 throttle and brakes alone. Tiptronic S

automatically adapts the gearshift points

for performance driving – equally, if a

more defensive driving style is detected,

the system selects a gearshift point that

offers maximum fuel economy. Under

heavy 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

lower engine speeds.

at

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.

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 between 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 transmitted 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

Stability Management (PSM, p. 68), PTM

ensures the perfect distribution of drive

torque for optimum traction in all road

All-wheel drive on the Cayenne, Cayenne S, Caye nne GTS and Cayenne Turbo

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 safety,

Porsche Traction Management (PTM)

offers exceptional handling and driving

dynamics.
