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.

Whatever the terrain, the passenger
compartment provides a comfort-
able environment for up to five adult
occupants. The partial-leather seats
have 12-way electric adjustment
for the driver and front passenger.
Other standard features include
air conditioning and the CDR-30
CD radio with two-tuner frequency
diversity and 12 loudspeakers.
The optional automatic air condi-
tioning has separate temperature
adjustment for the driver and front
passenger. Alternatively, there’s a
four-zone air-conditioning system
with additional controls for the
rear seat occupants.
The luggage compartment offers
540 litres of loadspace. With the
rear seats folded, this is increased
to as much as 1,770 litres*.
For easier loading, there’s an
optional automatic tailgate (see
page 144). Other load-carrying
solutions include a roof transport
system and a choice of towbars
(manually detachable or electrically
retractable). Both can be used
with braked trailer loads up to
3,500 kg.
The passive safety concept
offers excellent protection for
all occupants. The concept is
based on a sophisticated body
structure featuring multi-phase
steels, energy-absorbing areas
and side-impact protection.
This is augmented by a compre-
hensive airbag system featuring
full-size front airbags for driver
and front passenger, integratedroof-mounted curtain airbags
covering both rows of seats,
and thorax airbags in the front

GTS. A thrilling blend of two
legendary designations: the
uncompromising character of Engine power is more than
matched by the red-caliper brakes

measuring 350 mm in diameter

Composite Brake (PCCB) is
available as optional equipment.
The performance capability of
the Cayenne GTS is expressed
throughout the exterior design.
The front and rear sections are
identical to those on the Cayenne
Turbo. The colour-coded lower
mouldings (front, side and rear)
enhance the car’s powerful looks.
An elongated roof spoiler with
fixed bi-plane profile is available
as a no-cost option. The side
window surrounds, door handles
and door-sill trim strips have a
stylish black finish. Another feature
unique to the GTS model is the
pair of dual-tube chrome tailpipes
on the sports exhaust system.
The interior shares the same
sporting style – from the stainless
steel door-sill guards with
‘Cayenne GTS’ logo to the high-grip

Our ongoing development of the
lightweight steel body is key to the
rigidity of the Porsche Cayenne.
The triple-skin structure with
robust three-box sections provides
exceptional strength and occupant
protection, particularly in the
all-important roof area.
In the event of an accident, a
system of side and cross-members
at the front of the car helps to
channel impact energy in a safe
and predetermined manner. Energy
is absorbed by a three-tier
deformation zone that shields the
passenger
cell. In areas with only
limited capacity for deformation,
the interior is protected by high-
tensile steel reinforcements,
including side intrusion beams in
each of the doors.
Safety is more than skin deep.
Bodyshell construction.
Safety
With its combination of high
strength and consistent deformation
properties, the multiphase steel
used throughout the body fulfils two
key safety requirements. Tailored
blanks are employed in a number
of areas to form effective crash
protection structures, e.g., around
the longitudinal members and roof
rails.
Result: the Cayenne models comply
with all legal requirements for all
types of crash protection, including
frontal, side, diagonal and rear
impact, as well as roll-over damage
and frontal or side post impact.Super high-strength steel

Airbags.
All Cayenne models are equipped
with full-size front airbags for driver
and front passenger as standard.
These are augmented by a side-
impact protection system featuring
a thorax airbag in each front seat.
Curtain-type airbags on each side
of the roof provide extensive head
protection for both rows of seats.
When these are deployed, they
form a protective cushion along
the side of the car with a total
volume of around 20 litres.
Two additional impact sensors
are located at the front of the car
to enable better detection of
a head-on collision. As a result,
the front airbags can be more
accurately deployed in response
to the specific characteristics
of what can often be a complex
impact scenario.
The driver and front passenger
airbags use a gas generant based
on an organic propellant. As aresult, the airbags are lighter,
more compact and easier to
recycle. A roll-over detection
system provides additional
protection in the event that the
car were to overturn. Using
sensor-acquired data, it enables
early deployment of the curtain
airbags and triggers the seat-belt
pre-tensioners.
Interior safety features.
The Cayenne models feature
three-point seat belts on all five
seats, as well as seat-belt pre-
tensioners (front and outer rearseats) and force limiters (front
seats only). The front passengerseat and outer rear seats are also
equipped with ISOFIX mounting
points for compatible child seats.
If a child seat is mounted on the
front passenger seat, the
corresponding airbag can
be quickly deactivated using
a key-operated switch.

equipped as standard with an
engine immobiliser and anti-theft
alarm featuring ultrasonic interior
surveillance.
The alarm circuit includes all four
doors, engine lid, tailgate, rear
screen, interior, ignition and trailer

The immobiliser system works by
automatically communicating with
the vehicle key. If the key is ap-
proved, the engine can be started
as normal.
When the key is removed from the
ignition, the steering column is
automatically locked to provide
additional security.
Porsche Entry & Drive.
With this optional system, you can
reduce the inconvenience of a con-
ventional key.

unlocked. To start or stop the
engine, simply push the ignition
button.
To lock the car on leaving, all you
have to do is press a button on the
outside of the door handle. Porsche
