There is one fuel that will always be free.
Which is why we make the most of it.
Air intake system.
The Cayenne models are all
equipped with a resonance air
intake system. This simple
technology uses the pressure
waves generated by the inlet
valves to ‘force’ air into the engine.
The effect is enhanced in
the Cayenne, Cayenne S and
Cayenne GTS by a two-stage
intake manifold. This 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). On theCayenne GTS, performance is
enhanced by optimised airflow
management in the intake manifold.
Although ‘naturally aspirated’,
the Cayenne, Cayenne S and
Cayenne GTS provide high torque
ratings across the entire engine
speed range.
Drive
Pressure is often the key to performance.
Turbocharging system in the Cayenne Turbo.
The Porsche Turbo is synonymous
with performance, exhilarating
acoustics and the finest engineering.
The Cayenne Turbo has twin
turbocharger units arranged in
parallel. The low-volume intake
pipes combine with short exhaust
manifolds to achieve a rapid,
emphatic response.
Incoming air is passed through a
filter and compressed by the turbine
units. Its temperature is then
reduced in the intercooler system,
which improves cylinder charging
and limits thermal loads on the
engine.
Boost pressure reaches 1.8 bar
(absolute pressure) under full
acceleration from just 2,500 rpm.In normal road driving (part-throttle
mode), the pre-throttle boost
pressure is reduced in order
to
maximise fuel economy. When
the car is driven more assertively,
the
turbines are ‘pre-spun’ so
as to increase the pressure
available. When the throttle is
finally opened, the boost can
be applied immediately.
Both turbo units are cooled by
dedicated circuits from the main
engine cooling system.This solutionprevents oil degradation due to
overheating.
For the driver, the result is
seamless delivery of phenomenal
power and torque.

The smallest things can make the biggest difference.
Even a single spark.
Ignition system.
The Cayenne models have a
static high-voltage ignition
system with separate ignition
coils on each individual plug.
As well as providing a more consistent spark, this is a
more reliable alternative to
a conventional distributor and
leads. The role of distributor
is performed by the engine
management system. As well
as improving performance
and economy, emissions are
prevented at source.
Drive
Committed to a purer driving experience.
Exhaust system.Spend less on servicing.
And more time on the road.
the Cayenne S (in conjunction
with Tiptronic S), it has a
performance sound setting
which is automatically enabled in
‘Sport’ mode. The package also
includes twin dual-tube tailpipes
with chrome-plated finish. (Note:
vehicles equipped with the sports
exhaust system have a reduced
off-road capability.)
All exhaust systems – standard
and sports – comply with all
relevant emissions legislation.
Longer service intervals are
not only more convenient and
financially attractive, they are
also better for the environment.
Each Cayenne model offers
three clear benefits: lower
servicing costs, more time on
the road and a more eco-friendly
use of resources.For more information on service
intervals, please refer to the
separate price list for the Cayenne
model range.

The lightweight exhaust systems
in the Cayenne models are made
f
rom special, long-life stainless
steel.
Short exhaust manifolds enable
rapid heating of the primary
catalysts, a basic prerequisite
for early and more effective
emissions control.
The engine management system
is also involved in preventing
emissions at source. Inside each
of the two primary catalytic
converters are two oxygen
sensors. These supply a real-time
analysis of exhaust gas compos-
ition. Based on this information,
the engine management system
can adjust the air/fuel mix as
required. This control system
ensures low emissions in all oper-
ating scenarios. The primary and
main catalysts offer high efficiency,
faster warm-up, a long service
life and consistently low emissions
(see page 104).
The Cayenne GTS has a sports
exhaust system as standard.

Drive
The convenience of an automatic.
The excitement of a sequential gearbox.
Six-speed Tiptronic S.
Each gearshift point is automatically
selected based on current road
conditions and driving style.
Within a short space of time,
you’ll develop a feel for the
system and begin to influence
gearshifts using the throttle alone.
The benefits of Tiptronic S are most
apparent in high-performance driving.
The immediacy of response, with
practically no interruption in drive,
is comparable with that of a manual
gearbox.
Tiptronic S automatically selects
the optimum gearshift pattern,
even in low-range mode. The
low-range gearing is available at
speeds of up to 15 km / h (9 mph).
You can also return to high-range
mode at up to 30 km / h (19 mph).
For complete manual control,
simply slot into manual and use
the gearshift controls on the
steering wheel. If you prefer, you
can use the gear selector lever
on the centre console. Even in
automatic mode, you can change
gear manually via the rocker
controls on the steering wheel.
If there is no further manual
input for a period of 8 seconds,
the system reverts to automatic
mode.
One of the special features in
Tiptronic S is standby control.
When the car is stationary in an
active gear position and with the
foot brake applied, the input
clutch automatically disconnects
the engine from the driveline,
thereby reducing fuel consumption.
Other useful functions include
a warm-up programme which
temporarily suppresses upshifts
in order to accelerate warm-up
in the catalysts and thus reduce
emissions. If rapid throttle inputs
are detected, the system automat-
ically selects the ‘Sport’ gearshift
pattern, i.e., there is no need to
use a ‘kickdown’ function. When
the throttle is released quickly, e.g.,
on entering a corner, unwanted
downshifts are prevented.
Mid-corner gearshifts are also
suppressed, enhancing stability
and safety.Under heavy braking, Tiptronic S
shifts down to maximise engine
braking. An incline sensor enables
better uphill acceleration and
better engine braking on descent.
Another special feature, Porsche
Hill Holder, permits easy hill starts
without the need to use the brakes.
The gearbox cooling system is
specifically designed to match
the performance, transport,
towing and off-road capabilities
of all Cayenne models.
Tiptronic S is standard equipment
on the Cayenne Turbo and optional
on the other three models. The
six forward ratios transmit power
with smoothness, efficiency and
precision – whatever your choice
of terrain.
In automatic mode, the gearshift
maps range from maximum
economy to maximum performance.

Chassis
Exceptional power requires accurate direction.
Steering.Tough for off road, light for the track, stylish for any terrain.
Wheels.
The electrically adjustable steer-
ing column has a driver-selectable
‘Easy Entry’ function, which raises
the steering wheel towards the
dashboard whenever you enter
or leave the car. The comfort and
sports seat options (standard on
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo)
have a comfort memory package
that stores your preferred
wheel position as well as seat
and exterior mirror settings.
The steering column consists of
multiple collapsing sections linked
by three universal joints. A special
deformation element offering
70 mm of travel provides a high
level of safety in the event of front
impact.
Servotronic.
Servotronic is a speed-sensitive
power steering system available
as an option on all Cayenne
models.
At higher speeds, the steering
becomes firmer, inputs are more
precise and driver comfort is
greatly enhanced.
At lower speeds, it enables easy
manoeuvrability and parking. For optimum manoeuvrability, on
and off road, all Cayenne models
have variable-ratio steering
and special valve settings on
the power-steering system. Lock-
to-lock travel is a modest
2.65 turns, while the turning
circle is just 11.7 metres.
The steering wheel can be adjusted
by 50 mm for reach and 40 mm
for height. Both adjustment options
are electrically assisted on
the Cayenne GTS and Cayenne
Turbo. Electric adjustment is also
available as an option on the
Cayenne and Cayenne S as part
of the optional comfort or sports
seat package (each with comfort
memory package). The optional
padded steering wheel (standard
on Cayenne GTS) brings added
sporting style to each model.

Applying power with sensitivity, protecting with strength.
Off-road Technology package.
The rear differential enables
optimum distribution of engine
torque in difficult off-road terrain.
A fully automated part of the
all-wheel system, its primary
function is to optimise traction.
If one of the rear wheels begins
to lose grip, the differential varies
the torque transmitted through
each drive shaft, thereby restoring
traction. Available as a factory-fitted
option on all Cayenne models, the
Off-road Technology package*
incorporates an electronically
variable and lockable rear
differential as part of the standard
all-wheel drive system. Other
features include high-strength
rock-rails with integrated skid
plates, a reinforced engine-bay
guard, enhanced protection for
the fuel tank and rear axle, and
a second towing lug.In low-range mode, the rear
differential can be manually
locked using the main off-road
control on the centre console.
In this state, both rear wheels
receive the same amount of
torque.
For additional off-road protection,
optional wheel-arch extensions
(black finish) and running boards*
with integrated skid plates are
available.

Environment
Fuel system.
We have also applied the highest
engineering standards to protect
the environment from fuel
evaporation. The non-return
fuel supply system provides a
considerable reduction in vapour
emissions. The fuel lines are
partly constructed from steel,
while those carrying vapour are
made from multi-layer plastics.
A large active-carbon filter and
multi-layer plastic fuel tank help
reduce evaporation even more.
A leak detection pump is also
included to monitor the integrity
of the fuel tank system.
Acoustics.
Think of a Porsche and what
do you hear? One of the most
distinctive sounds on the road.
A sound created not just by the
engine, but also by the absence
of unwanted noise. To minimise
Fuel economy.
At Porsche, we’re using innovative
technologies to increase perform-
ance while enhancing fuel economy.
With direct fuel injection (DFI),
we’ve made our engines more
efficient in terms of both output
and consumption. DFI is combined
with VarioCam Plus in the V8 engines
and variable valve timing in the
Cayenne V6. As well as improving
performance and economy, both
of these systems help to minimise
engine emissions. The low-drag
exterior on each Cayenne model
further improves efficiency.
Fuel.
All Porsche models are already
compatible with a fuel ethanol
content of up to 10 %. Ethanol
has a positive impact on the carbon
dioxide balance since the plants
grown for its production absorb
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
‘play’ between engine components
under all load conditions, we’ve
used stronger, lighter and more
temperature-resistant materials.
This reduces mechanical noise
and eliminates the need for engine
encapsulation. Large-volume
silencers and air intake manifolds
also help to minimise noise –
throughout the life of the car.
Tyre noise has been drastically
reduced in collaboration with
our official tyre partners. Wind
noise levels have also been
lowered thanks to aerodynamic
refinements.
All that remains is the Porsche
sound – as legendary as ever.
