Performance. It’s what motivates
our engineers – and exhilarates
our drivers. Winning races,
exploring new terrain, achieving
new objectives.
With the Cayenne model range,
we’ve applied this power to an
ambitious range of applications.
The result is four highly
versatile cars – every
one of them a Porsche.
At Porsche, we believe in playing to our strength:
the pursuit of excellence in every respect.
The Cayenne models.
The Cayenne models
One thing they have in common
is the standards they set: in
performance, safety and economy.
The character of each car is
apparent at first glance: accom-
plished, athletic, brimming with
energy and potential. The front
and rear sections are elegantly
designed with excellent aerodynamic
properties. The flared wheel arches
accommodate a range of wheel
options up to 21 inches in diameter.
Among the most distinctive features
on all four models is the elongated
headlight geometry. In addition,
each car has LED taillights as
standard (see page 93).
The stylish form is brought
thrillingly to life with remarkable
engine performance. The high-
capacity engines offer increased
power and torque with relatively
modest fuel consumption. This is
achieved using a range of technol-
ogies
, including direct fuel injection
(DFI – see page 50) and VarioCam
Plus on the V8 engines (see page
53).
The sports-oriented suspension can
be further refined with the optional
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC – see page 80), an active
anti-roll stability system. Safety is an equally important consideration,
with Porsche Stability Management
(PSM – see page 98) included
as standard equipment. The race-
proven Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB– see page 96) is
also available as optional equipment.

models have a flattened headlight
geometry which gives a broader
look to the car.
The air intake openings are designed
for optimum cooling. On the
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo,
the central air intake has a larger
cross-sectional area to compensate
for the higher engine outputs. In the
outer intake openings are a pair of
Dynamism and power – both
immediately apparent in every
Cayenne model.
The front-end design on the
naturally aspirated models features
H7 projector-beam headlights.
The Cayenne Turbo has Bi-Xenon
headlights with static and dynamic
cornering lights (also optional on
the other three models). All four
elongated light units containing the
turn-signal indicators and sidelights.
These are positioned vertically on
the Cayenne and Cayenne S, and
horizontally on the Cayenne GTS
and Cayenne Turbo. Another
distinguishing feature on the
Cayenne Turbo is the ‘power-domed’
engine lid.
The rear section also alludes to
the powerful capability of each car.
Integrated within the rear apron
are a pair of single-tube tailpipes
on the Cayenne and Cayenne S,
and dual-tube tailpipes on the
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.
The tailpipes on the Cayenne GTS
have a chrome-plated finish. All
four models have a diffuser-style
design on the lower rear apron
plus LED taillights and brake
lights. An extended bi-plane roof
spoiler is available as a no-cost
option on the Cayenne GTS.
The interior space is designed
around the driver in a range of
quality materials. Full leather
upholstery is standard equipment
on the Cayenne GTS and Cayenne
Turbo. Also included as standard
on the Cayenne GTS is a new
sports seat design featuring
greater lateral support and a
comfort memory package (sports
seats optional on all other models).
In short: a powerful first
impression, inside and out, that
is also enduringly Porsche.
The art: creating motion while standing still.
Design.

The standard Porsche Traction
Management (PTM – see page 66)
combines permanent all-wheel drive
with an electronically variable
centre differential, two-speed transfer
gearbox, anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and automatic brake differential
(ABD). The results are excellent
dynamics and greater active safety.
The Cayenne models
The Cayenne V6 develops 213 kW
(290 hp) at 6,200 rpm. Maximum
torque of 385 Nm is available
from 3,000 rpm. The V8 unit in
the Cayenne S produces 283 kW
(385 hp) and 500 Nm of torque
from 3,500 rpm.
In the Cayenne GTS, the V8 engine
develops 298 kW (405 hp) at
6,500 rpm plus 500 Nm of torque
from 3,500 rpm. Maximum output
ratings on the Cayenne Turbo are
368 kW (500 hp) at 6,000 rpm
and as much as 700 Nm of torque
between 2,250 and 4,500 rpm.
The Cayenne, Cayenne S and
Cayenne GTS are all equipped as
standard with a high-performance,
high-precision six-speed manual
gearbox. Alternatively, there’s the
option of six-speed Tiptronic S,
which is standard in the Cayenne
Turbo. Maximum speeds with
Tiptronic S are 227 km / h (141 mph)
for the Cayenne, 250 km / h (155
mph) for the Cayenne S, 251 km / h
(156 mph) for the Cayenne GTS
and 275 km / h (171 mph) for the
Cayenne Turbo.
Direct fuel injection (DFI) increases
engine output while improving fuel
efficiency. The V6 Cayenne has
variable valve timing on inlet and
exhaust. The V8 models feature
VarioCam Plus,combining variable
valve timing with two-stage valve
lift on the inlet side. The results:
high performance, low fuel
consumption and low exhaust
emissions. Seemingly paradoxical,
yet typically Porsche.
For extreme off-road driving,
there’s t
he optional Off-road
Technology package (see page
88), which is
available for the
Cayenne, Cayenne S
and Cayenne
Turbo.
The science: always breaking new ground.
Engineering.
The Cayenne models have high-
capacity engines featuring a range
of innovative technologies. Each
car reconciles the two extremes
of high performance and low fuel
consumption. The Cayenne has a
3.6-litre V6, the Cayenne S and
Cayenne GTS have 4.8-litre V8s,
while the Cayenne Turbo tops the
range with a 4.8-litre twin-turbo V8.

The Cayenne GTS has a sports
exhaust system that is also
available as an option on the
Cayenne S (in conjunction with
Tiptronic S). As well as enhancing
the engine sound, it features
chrome-plated dual-tube tailpipes.
The Cayenne models
Cayenne S and red on the Cayenne
GTS and Cayenne Turbo. All four
models are equipped with Porsche
Stability Management (PSM) as
standard. PSM is an electronic
active safety system that automat-
ically stabilises the car (and trailer,
if fitted) in critical road scenarios.
Another standard feature is the
‘Sport’ mode function. At the
push of a button, the engine
and Tiptronic S become more
responsive, the air suspension
drops to Low Level I, while PASM
and PDCC are also switched to
‘Sport’ mode.
Standard fitment wheels are 17-inch
Cayenne alloys on the Cayenne,
18-inch Cayenne S II alloys on the
Cayenne S and 19-inch Cayenne
Design alloys on the Cayenne Turbo.
Among the special sports features
on the Cayenne GTS are the stand-
ard 21-inch Cayenne Sport wheels.
The brake performance is more
than a match for the power of each
Cayenne model. All four cars have
six-piston monobloc aluminium fixed
calipers at the front and four-piston
units at the rear. The calipers are
black on the Cayenne, silver on the Another feature that’s standard on
the Cayenne Turbo and optional
on the other three models is self-
levelling air suspension with Porsche
Active Suspension Management
(PASM – see page 76). PASM
is an electronic damping control
system offering a choice of
increased comfort or added sports
performance. The Cayenne GTS
is equipped as standard with an
exclusive steel-sprung sports sus-
pension that also includes PASM.
The air suspension system and
PASM can also be combined with
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC) on all models. This optional
system actively reduces body-roll
when cornering, thereby enhancing
turn-in response. The results: greater
agility, greater comfort and even
greater driving pleasure.For easier loading, there’s an
optional automatic tailgate with
user-programmable opening
height and push-button operation.

Exceptional performance.
What else would you expect from a Porsche?
The Cayenne.
A high-performance six-speed
manual gearbox is standard
equipment. The optional six-speed
Tiptronic S includes gearshift
controls on the steering wheel.
It is also equipped with standby
control for better fuel economy
(see page 64).
The powerful brakes increase
active safety in all driving scenarios.
The black-finish calipers are unique
to the V6 model.
With its precision steering and
sports chassis setup, the Cayenne
is agile and responsive. Using
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
and Porsche Stability Management
(PSM), power is transmitted through
the permanent all-wheel drive with
efficiency, precision and safety. In
difficult terrain, the electronically
variable centre differential combines
with the anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and automatic brake differential
(ABD) to maintain optimum traction
at all times. This ability is enhanced
in low-range mode, where all gear
ratios are reduced. As a result,
the car remains mobile in soft
ground and performs better when
towing a heavy trailer load. For
the toughest off-road conditions,
the electronically variable centre
differential can be fully locked while
in low-range mode using the PTM
control on the centre console.
The torque split is then fixed with
38 % of drive being transmitted
to the front wheels and 62 % to
the rear.
For extreme off-road use, there’s
the optional Off-road Technology
package. As well as increasing
underbody protection, it includes
an electronically variable rear
differential (see page 89). This
differential can also be manually
locked to increase off-road
traction.
The Cayenne is an excellent on-
road performer with a wide range
of other talents: off-road capability,
comfort, safety, sporting style and
practicality.
Its powerful V6 engine features
direct fuel injection (DFI), variable
valve timing on inlet and exhaust
and a variable resonance intake
manifold. The results: generous
performance and excellent fuel
economy.
The 3.6-litre engine develops
213 kW (290 hp) at 6,200 rpm.
Maximum torque is 385 Nm
from as low as 3,000 rpm. With
a manual gearbox, it requires
8.1 seconds to reach 100 km / h
(62 mph). Maximum speed is
227 km / h (141 mph).
Press the standard ‘Sport’ button
and the engine management is
adjusted to maximise throttle
response.
