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.

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.

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.

dual-tube tailpipes. Produced by
the 4.8-litre t win -turbo V8 engine
that delivers 368 kW (500 hp)
and features direct fuel injection
(DFI, p. 38). The car has a top

and the benchmark sprint from
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) is com-
pleted in 4.7 seconds. Maximum
torque is 700 Nm. Here too, fuel
consumption has been reduced
by

Optimum traction and safet y are
provided by Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 44) active
all-wheel drive. Also connecting
the car to the road are the 19 -inch Cayenne Turbo wheels.
The chassis on the Cayenne Turbo
is equipped as standard with air
suspension featuring self-levelling
and ride-height control, as well
as Porsche Active Suspension
Management
(PASM, p. 51). This
electronic damping control sys-
tem offers continuous adjustment
of the damping forces
on each
wheel – depending on
current
road conditions and driving st yle.
This enables greater car control,
improving safet y and comfort.
Comfort is also key in the
Cayenne Turbo interior. Standard
equipment comprises an interior
package in smooth-finish leather,
a rooflining in Alcantara and an
electrically adjustable steering
column.
Also fit ted as standard: the
BOSE® Surround Sound System,
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) with navi-
gation module, adaptive sports
seats with comfort memor y package (18-way), Tyre Pressure
Monitoring (TPM, p. 57), auto -
matic headlight activation and
automatically dimming exterior
and interior mirrors.
Exterior features exclusive to
the Cayenne Turbo include
Bi-Xenon main headlights with
Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS, p. 61), larger air intakes
and a distinctive ‘power dome’ on
the engine lid – a clear reference
to the enormous potential within.
Following our long established
principles,
the Cayenne Turbo
blends phenomenal performance
with outstanding comfort and
efficiency. It does so in st yle but
without ever compromising on
any one in particular. Because we
believe that less can also mean
more.
Reduced weight, lower fuel consumption, fewer emissions.
At Porsche, we believe less is more.

The 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, economical
driving st yle while offering
exceptional reserves of power.
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
compact dimensions and high
levels of efficiency. It also acts as

a starter motor and alternator.
Working in tandem, both units
provide a total output of 279 kW
(380 hp) and maximum torque
of 580 Nm, propelling the car
from 0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) in
just 6.5 seconds. These are the
levels of acceleration you would
usually expect from an eight-
cylinder unit, but with fuel con-
sumption of under 8.2 l/100 km
(34.4 mpg) in the EU cycle.

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 electronic engine manage-
ment system receives all infor-
mation on the driving and energy
status and controls both drive
systems to ensure optimum per-
formance in any driving scen ario.

the future.
With the Cayenne S Hybrid, our
primary focus was on meeting
customer requirements in
terms of athleticism and greater
everyday practically. The result:
the parallel full hybrid.
The drive system of the
Cayenne S Hybrid.
Hybrid drives are suitable for use
in a wide range of scenarios. On
road, of f road or on the track – to
us, it ’s about using technology in
the most intelligent way. Porsche
Intelligent Performance has
enabled us to introduce hybrid
technology into a variet y
of different vehicle concepts.

The clearest proof of this is the
super sportscar of the future –
the 918 Spyder. The electric
machines in its plug-in hybrid
system work in conjunction with
the high rpm engine to deliver
exceptional performance with
incredibly low fuel consumption.
Another example is the 911 GT3 R
Hybrid. With its front-wheel hybrid
drive and fly wheel storage sys-
tem, it is an extremely modern
interpretation of a thoroughbred
Hybrid, diesel, petrol. Many different options.
One outcome: Porsche.

It shuts of f the combustion
engine and switches it back on.
Thanks to the ultra-fast decoup-
ler and instantaneous engine
start-up, all of this goes un-
noticed by the driver.
Under mod-
erate
acceleration, the electric
machine can power the vehicle
independently using electricit y
alone. For example, for driving
quietly through residential areas
.
In
addition, it can be used to
boost
performance – for even
faster acceleration.
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 automatically disengaged from
the drivetrain and shut off: 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, when heading out of a
residential area, for instance.
The throt tle map is adapted 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

response, even at low revs and
road speeds. This is particularly
useful when driving in urban
traf fic. The supercharger has a
low-temperature water cooling
system for cooling the charge air.
Variable Turbine Geometry in
the Cayenne Diesel.
The turbocharger in the
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 on -board
recuperation. It ensures that the
on -board power supply is only
replenished while the vehicle is
on the overrun. This boosts fuel
economy as well as performance,
and ensures maximum engine
output during acceleration. All
this goes unnoticed by the driver,
apart from the obvious benefits:
lower fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions plus greater power and
torque at all times.
Exhaust system.
The light weight exhaust systems
in the Cayenne models are made
from special, long-life stainless
steel. The key features of the cata-
lysts are high ef ficiency, faster
warm -up and a long service life.
Sports exhaust system.
Available as an option on the
Cayenne and Cayenne S, the
sports exhaust system
1) provides
an even more distinctive sound.
For the looks to match, it comes
with a specially designed set
of t win dual-tube tailpipes with
a high-gloss finish.
All exhaust systems, standard and
sports, comply with the stringent
EU5 emissions legislation.

Turbocharging system in the
Cayenne Turbo.
In the Cayenne Turbo, the engine
is assisted by t win turbocharger
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
Cayenne S Hybrid.
The engine in the Cayenne S
Hybrid is equipped with a
supercharger. For a more direct
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
Cayenne and 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.
