PORSCHE CAYNNE 2010 1.G Information Manual

How could we make the new
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.
Af ter all, is there any thing wrong
with having progressive concepts,
social responsibilit y and a clear
direction?

Working in tandem, both units
provide a total output of 279 kW
(380 hp) and maximum torque
of 580 Nm. The new Cayenne S
Hybrid is propelled from 0 to
100 km/ h (62 mph) in 6.5 sec­
onds. These are the levels of
acceleration you would usually
expect from an eight ­cylinder unit,
but with fuel consumption of
under 8.2 l/100 km (34.4 mpg)
in the EU cycle.
1)
On the parallel full hybrid system,
the electric machine is integrated
directly into the drivetrain. The
hybrid module is situated bet ween
the transmission and the com ­
bustion engine. The engine is
engaged and disengaged using
a specially designed decoupler.
The complex interplay bet ween
combustion engine, decoupler,
electric machine and bat tery is
controlled by the electronic engine
management system. It receives
all information on the driving and
energy status and controls both
drive systems to ensure optimum
performance in any driving scen­
ario. It shuts of f 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 independ ­
ently. For example, for driving
quietly through residential areas
using electricity alone. In
addition, it can be used to boost
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 com ­
pact dimensions and high levels
of ef ficiency. It also acts as a
starter motor and alternator.
The drive system of the
new Cayenne S Hybrid.
The abilit y to balance the dynamic
interplay of forces has a name:
hybrid drive. The combination
of internal combustion engine
and electric machine has led to
a significant reduction in fuel
consumption. We have opted

for a solution that satisfies our
requirements perfectly: the
parallel full hybrid.
The new 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
bet ween 3,000 and 5,250 rpm,
enabling a low ­rev, economic
driving st yle while offering

exceptional reserves of power.
Hybrid, diesel, petrol. Many different options.
One outcome: Porsche.

performance – for faster
acceleration, particularly when
pulling away.
The parallel full hybrid concept
also comes into its own during
performance driving. When
the Cayenne S Hybrid is driven

at high speeds and on overrun,
the combustion engine is auto ­
matically disengaged from the
drivetrain and shut of f: the car
continues to ‘coast’ along.
Engine drag and the associated
losses are eliminated and efficiency is increased at speeds

of up to 156 km/ h (97 mph).
The ‘e ­power’ function expands
the range in which the vehicle
can be run solely on electric
power. The throt tle map is adapt ­
ed so that the combustion engine
is engaged later than in ‘Normal’
mode depending on performance
requirements. This is activated
via a but ton on the centre con ­
sole.

Decoupler Protective housing Electric machine

in part­throt tle mode and through
energy recovery during braking.
A special bat tery management
and cooling system maintains
a constant temperature and
pro
tects the bat ter y from over­
heating. It also monitors the
charge/discharge processes. As
a result, the life of the bat tery is
optimised and its suitabilit y for
everyday use ensured, while
offering a high capacit y: 1.7 kWh. Systems that are usually depen­
dent on the output provided by

the combustion engine, such as
climate control, power steering
and brake assist, run solely on
electricit y on the new 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 of f.
In summary: despite its six ­
cylinder powerplant, the new
Cayenne S Hybrid offers per­
formance levels that are com­
parable 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.
The compact bat tery is located
under the loadspace floor in the
luggage compartment. Weighing
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 main­
tenance. As the electric machine
also functions as a generator,
it can charge the bat tery under
certain conditions when the
combustion engine is

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.

adjusting the inlet valve timing
and lift.
The system dif ferentiates
bet ween normal road usage and
performance driving, adapting
seamlessly as driver inputs
change. All functions are auto ­
matically 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 lif t set ting
and retards valve timing.
At medium revs and minimal
load, the valve lif t is lowered and
timing advanced to minimise fuel
consumption and emissions. At
low engine speeds in particular,
VarioCam Plus significantly im ­
proves fuel economy. To achieve maximum power and torque, the
valve lif t is raised and the timing
advanced.
Overall, the system provides
greater performance with rela­
tively modest fuel consumption.
Standard on the new Cayenne S
and new 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 new Cayenne S Hybrid, the
inlet valve timing is continuously
adjusted.
The key benefits include bet ter
fuel economy and lower emis ­
sions. It also helps to generate
greater power and torque –
even at low engine speeds.

consistently within a specific
temperature range. The engines
in the new Cayenne models are
therefore designed for optimum
cooling.
The V8 engines have an enhanced
coolant management system
offering effective temperature
control throughout the engine.
While 20% of coolant flows longi­
tudinally 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. In addition,
thermal management ensures
that the optimum operating tem ­
perature for the engines is
reached more quickly. This keeps emissions and fuel consumption
low, even when starting from cold.
The entire cooling system is
designed for prolonged heav y
­

dut y use, e.g. of f ­road driving
or heav y 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 of f ­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 engine in the Cayenne has
a wet ­sump lubrication system.
Ensuring a reliable supply of oil,
no mat ter how challenging the
driving conditions.
Direct fuel injection on the
diesel engine (common-rail
injection system).
On the Cayenne Diesel, direct
fuel injection comes courtesy of
a common ­rail injection system.
The injection pressure of up
to 1,800 bar ensures optimum
distribution of the air/fuel mixture
– for greater performance. The
piezoelectric injection valves
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
capabilit y over a long service life
if all components are operating
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
DFI injects fuel directly into the
combustion chamber at up to

120 bar with millisecond precision
using electromagnetic injectors.
The injector position and spray
geometry have been carefully
designed to improve output,
torque, fuel economy and emis ­
sions. The swirling of the fuel as
it enters each chamber increases
the mixing of air and fuel, thereby
enhancing combustion. By form ­
ing the air/fuel mixture directly
in the combustion chamber, DFI
contributes to engine cooling.
As a result, it was possible to in ­
crease the compression ratio and
therefore power and efficiency.

response, even at low revs and
road speeds. This is particularly
useful when driving in urban
traf fic. The supercharger has a
low­temperature water cooling
system for cooling the charge air.
Variable Turbine Geometry in
the new Cayenne Diesel.
The turbocharger in the new
Cayenne Diesel features Variable
Turbine Geometry (V TG). The
gas ­flow from the engine is
channelled onto the turbines via
electronically adjustable guide
vanes. By changing the vane
angle, the system can replicate
the geometry in all t ypes 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 sig
­
nificant increase in boost pres ­
sure, excellent cylinder charging
plus greater power and torque.
Electronic engine management.
Cultured performance in all
driving scenarios requires com ­
prehensive engine control. The
electronic engine management
system does this by continually
monitoring the relevant input data
from a variet y of sophisticated
sensors. This data is then com ­
pared with a corresponding set of
reference values. Based on this
information, a range of key engine
functions, e.g. ignition and in­
jection timings as well as injection
quantities, are seamlessly and
automatically adjusted. Other
major functions include automatic
compensation for changes in fuel
qualit y and control of the variable ­
tract intake manifold. On the
new Cayenne Turbo, the engine management system also regu ­
lates the turbo boost pressure.
The results:
optimum fuel eco

well as greater power and torque
at all times.
Exhaust system.
The light weight exhaust systems
in the new Cayenne models are
made from special, long ­life stain ­
less steel. The key features of
the catalysts are high ef ficiency,
faster warm ­up and a long service
life. The sports exhaust system

systems, standard and sports,
comply with the strict EU5 emis ­
sions legislation.
2)
Turbocharging system in the
new Cayenne Turbo.
In the new Cayenne Turbo, the
engine is assisted by t win turbo ­
charger 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 t win inter­
cooler system, which improves
cylinder charging and limits
thermal loads on the engine.
Supercharging system in the
new Cayenne S Hybrid.

Air intake system.
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 ef fect is enhanced in the new
Cayenne and new Cayenne S by
a t wo ­stage intake manifold. This
variable 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.

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 stabilit y.
In conjunction with advanced
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM, p. 66), PTM ensures the
perfect distribution of drive
torque for optimum traction in all road scenarios, whether on
long straights, through tight cor
­
ners or on surfaces with dif ferent
friction coef ficients. 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 auto ­
matically transferred to the op­
posite wheel. If both wheels on
one axle are in danger of slipping,
ASR immediately intervenes and
modifies engine output to main ­tain drive. As well as enhancing
traction and active safet y,
