At this point, it would be very
tempting for us to wax lyrical about
the Cayenne. However, we prefer to
tell you about an exciting concept:
Porsche Intelligent Performance.
Our commitment to more ef ficient
engines and lighter bodies. The
result is even more power, but with
lower fuel consumption and fewer
emissions. In short: greater per-
formance and everyday practicalit y.
The Cayenne of fers exactly what
our customers need: more Porsche
than ever before.
The Cayenne. To the point.

features include Bi-Xenon main
headlights with the Porsche
Dynamic Light System (PDLS,
p. 61). For greater comfor t and
performance, the car is equipped
as standard with eight-speed
Tiptronic S (p. 42), while Porsche
Torque Vectoring Plus (PT V Plus,
p. 50) enhances driving dynamics
and stabilit y.
As always, we’ve focused on
what ’s really important. To the
point: the Cayenne models.through the use of advanced
technologies such as direct fuel
injection (DFI, p. 38), eight-speed
Tiptronic S (p. 42) and VarioCam
Plus (p. 37). The interaction
bet ween all components has
also been optimised.
Another of our principles: high
performance should never come
at the expense of comfort or
safet y, and this is something we
have kept to. Even with a car
of fering the phenomenal output
of the Cayenne Turbo. Its 4.8-litre
V8 powerplant develops 500 hp,
which is guaranteed to set pulse
rates climbing and send a shiver
down the spine – both natural
reactions in a turbocharged
Porsche. Standard active safet y
performance combined with
excellent fuel economy.
Once again, t ypically Porsche.
The Cayenne Diesel is no excep-
tion. 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. This is
what we call Porsche Intelligent
Performance.
The Cayenne and Cayenne S
offer increased power and
efficiency,
while also delivering
exceptional capabilit y of f road.
The result: greater driving pleasure
with reduced fuel consumption
and CO2 emissions. On and off road.
This has also been achieved
The most innovative – and
therefore in keeping with the rest
of the Porsche family – is the
Cayenne S Hybrid. Its parallel 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 sportscar
them more dynamic, ef ficient,
practical and comfor table than
ever before. Fuel consumption has
been reduced by up to 23 % and
CO
2 emissions by up to 26 % (de-
pending on the model). 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. 36).
For increased comfort and
safet y, Lane Change Assist
(LCA, p. 105) and adaptive
cruise control (p. 104) are
available as an option. Ensuring
a phenomenal sound experience
in every seat position is the
optional Burmester
® High-End
Surround Sound System (p. 94).
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, has 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 sportscar per-
formance is not just restricted to
the road, while the first Cayenne
Diesel proved once more that we
are not afraid to follow unconven-
tional paths.
The success story continued to
gather momentum in 2010 – with
Porsche Intelligent Performance.
The sum of the ideas inherent
in every Porsche. Ideas that have
led us to develop new drive sys-
tems, enhancing the emotional
appeal of our vehicles and making
Those who develop talent reap the reward.
Sometimes in more ways than one.
The Cayenne models.
12 · The Cayenne | Model range

The front wheel arches are
extremely well defined, while
the ‘power-domed’ engine lid
further underlines the sheer
power and resolution within –
this is particularly dominant
on the Cayenne Turbo. Other
distinguishing features include
the visibly drawn - in flanks. The sharper profile exudes
eagerness and determination,
which is further emphasised by
the dynamic rear roof pillars
and flowing coupé-like silhouet te.
The rear wheel arches are t ypical
of a sportscar, streamlined and
muscular, 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 –
f o r a t y p ic a l l y d i st i n c t i v e re a r v i e w.
The exterior is unmistakably
Porsche. The inside too. But not in
the way you are used to perhaps.
The desire to achieve greater
agilit y, flexibilit y and everyday
practicalit y has led to a complete
revision of the interior (p. 78
onwards): another clear reference
to the Carrera GT, the centre
console rises to meet the
dashboard – for an even more
involving drive.
The rear cabin area is larger and
more variable than before. It
features split-folding seats with
fore/aft adjustment and adjust-
able backrest angle – for extra
legroom and greater comfort.
In addition, a wide range of
exclusive materials has been
used. Practically every thing has
been changed. But one thing
remains the same: the focus on
you and your passengers.
The contours of the front section
draw the eye, reflecting the car’s
excellent dynamics at first glance.
The elongated engine lid is clearly
reminiscent of Porsche racecars
from the 1960s.
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.
Children can give you a great deal of joy.
Even more so when they’ve inherited your finest characteristics.

At Porsche, we are continually
changing. Looking for a new and
dif ferent 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 kg
1) depending on the speci-
fication
– 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 heav y loads.
Its naturally aspirated 3.6-litre
V6 engine features direct fuel
injection (DFI, p. 38), variable
valve timing on both inlet and
exhaust, and a variable resonance
intake manifold – for a generous
output and excellent fuel econ-
omy. In other words: we have
enhanced the performance, while
significantly lowering the weight,
fuel consumption and CO
2 emis-
sions. The figures speak for themselves: maximum torque of
400 Nm, 220 kW (300 hp), a top
speed of 230 km/ h (143 mph)
and the abilit y to accelerate
from 0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) in
7.5 se conds. With both fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions
reduced by 20 %.
1), 2) Delivering
this power to the road efficiently,
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 44) combines active all-
wheel drive
with an electron ically
variable
multi-plate clutch, auto -
matic brake dif ferential (ABD) and
anti-slip regulation (ASR). PTM
enables the perfect distribution of
drive torque to all four wheels,
whether on long straights, through
tight corners or on surfaces with
dif ferent friction coef ficients: for
dynamic handling
and increased
traction. Drive is transmit ted
through a high-performance
six-speed manual gearbox (p. 42),
which ensures optimum progres-
sion through the gears.
In addition to the standard
18-inch Cayenne wheels and
larger brakes, the Cayenne
can be fit ted with the optional Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB, p. 64) – for out-
standing 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-31 audio
system with touchscreen, cruise
control and automatic headlight
activation. For added comfort,
there’s also a ‘Welcome Home’
lighting function. When you arrive
at a destination af ter 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 unre-
stricted everyday practicalit y that
is t ypical of Porsche. Let ’s be
honest, would you have expected
any thing else?
Everything has changed. Apart from the concept.

Boasting outstanding perform-
ance and ef ficiency, the Cayenne
Diesel is ideal for longer journeys
– of fering high levels of torque,
while fuel consumption remains
l o w.
Its new 3.0 -litre V6 turbo - diesel
engine is now more powerful and
refined, and approximately 20 kg
l i g h t e r.
1) The unit generates
180 kW (245 hp) and maximum
torque of 550 Nm. The sprint
to 100 km/ h (62 mph) requires
just 7.6 seconds. Top speed
is 220 km/ h (137 mph). Fuel
con sumption now comes in at
just 7.2 l/100 km (39.2 mpg) in
the EU cycle.
2)
Direct fuel injection comes cour-
tesy of a common-rail injection
system. The piezoelectric
injectors now enable multiple
injections at a pressure of up to 2,000 bar, ensuring optimum
distribution of the air/fuel mixture
– for improved dynamics.
The new turbocharger on the
Cayenne Diesel features Variable
Turbine Geometry (V TG, p. 40).
Combined with optimised channel-
ling of the intake air, it enhances
the charging ef fect, thereby
generating a higher output and
impressive torque, even at low
engine speeds.
The standard eight-speed
Tiptronic S includes gearshif t
controls on the steering wheel.
Transmit ting the high torque
of the Cayenne Diesel smoothly
and ef fectively, the eight gears
are designed to facilitate both
economical driving
with low fuel
consumption and
performance
driving with em phatic accele ration.
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM) permanent all-wheel
drive with self-locking centre
dif ferential transmits the car’s
power to all four wheels with
optimum precision and control.
Available as a no - cost option,
the 100 -litre fuel tank increases
the range to well over 1,000 km
(approx. 620 miles) while keeping
the engine rpm and noise levels
l o w.
The Cayenne Diesel: proof that
a 100 -metre sprinter can also run
a marathon. The only thing running low on long journeys:
fuel consumption.

The Porsche ‘S’ has long been
a mark of heightened sports per-
formance and abundant reserves
of power. On the Cayenne S, it
also stands for strength, agilit y
and efficiency.
At the heart of the car is a natur-
ally aspirated 4.8-litre V8 engine
featuring direct fuel injection
(DFI, p. 38), VarioCam Plus (p. 37)
and a t wo -stage intake manifold.
This helps to keep fuel consump-
tion and emissions low, while
ensuring maximum output. In
short: 294 kW (400 hp), maximum
torque of 500 Nm and a top
speed of 258 km/ h (160 mph).
The Cayenne S accelerates from
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) in as
lit tle as 5.9 seconds. Fuel con-
sumption has been reduced by
up to 23 % and CO
2 emissions by
as much as 26 %.
1), 2) The weight
of the car has also been lowered
by 180 kg
1). Drive is transmit ted to the road
with smoothness and precision
by the standard eight-speed
Tiptronic S, which includes gear-
shif t controls on the steering
wheel. The result: optimum use
of the available power reserves.
Of course, to apply exceptional
power like this ef fectively, it
needs to be harnessed and con-
trolled. For example, by Porsche
Traction Management (PTM,
p. 44). On the Cayenne S, this
active all-wheel drive system
features an electronically variable,
map - controlled multi - plate clutch,
an automatic brake differential
(ABD, p. 44) and anti-slip regu-
lation (ASR, p. 44). Working
in conjunction with advanced
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM, p. 66), PTM ensures the
required torque split in every
driving scenario. On or of f road.
During performance driving, as well as on leisurely journeys
or when towing heav y loads.
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.

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. Thanks to
Porsche Intelligent Performance,
it 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
super-
charged engine and an electric
machine (motor/generator) that
provides add itional power on
demand. It offers levels of accel-
eration that are comparable with
a V8 unit, but with a reduction of
up to 22 % in both fuel consump-
tion and CO
2 emissions.1), 2) The
engine delivers 245 kW (333 hp),
while the electric machine gener-
ates 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
(150 mph), acceler ation from
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) takes
6.5 seconds. Maximum torque
is 580 Nm.
On the parallel full hybrid system,
the electric machine and a
decoupler are integrated directly
into the drivetrain bet ween 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 bat tery.
In addition, the electric machine
can be used to boost per form-
ance – for faster acceleration.
Other energy-saving features
include the car’s abilit y to glide
along, even when the engine is
turned of f. The hybrid system
therefore also brings significant
advantages 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 the
tailgate and each front wing
alludes to the innovative drive
concept 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.
A hybrid is like a good marriage.
Only with two better halves.
