Let us show you more.
Air suspension.
The Cayenne models can be equipped
with an air suspension system featuring
self-levelling, ride-height control and
PASM (p. 57)
1) – for enhanced driving
dynamics and comfort. The self-levelling
facility maintains a constant ground
clearance, which can easily be adjusted using the ride-height control on the
centre console.
Air suspension with PASM standard
on the Cayenne Turbo. Optional for all
other Cayenne models.

Steel-spring suspension.
The steel-spring suspension meets
high-level requirements in terms of per
-
formance, driving pleasure and off-road
capability. Consistent lightweight con -
struction – e.g. through the increased
use of aluminium – results in improved
driving dynamics, greater fuel economy
and enhanced comfort. The steel-spring suspension with a 24 mm reduction in
ride height on the Cayenne GTS is
designed to
deliver one thing above
all else: sports performance.
Standard on the Cayenne, Cayenne
Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid
and Cayenne GTS.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC).
Available as an option in conjunction
with air suspension, Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) is an active

anti-roll system that further enhances the
extraordinary road holding and precision
handling of the Cayenne models. PDCC
anticipates and significantly reduces
lateral body movement when cornering
with the aid of the active anti-roll bars
featuring hydraulic swivel motors on
the front and rear axles. The system
responds to the current steering angle
and lateral acceleration by producing a
stabilising force that precisely negates
the swaying
force of the body. The bene-
fits are greater agilit y at every speed,
more responsive steering, stable load transfer characteris
tics and enhanced
occupant comfort. When off-road mode
is selected via a switch on the centre
console, this allows the t wo halves of
each anti-roll bar to rotate further in
opposition to each other. This in turn
enables greater wheel articu lation and
ensures that each individual wheel has
more contact with the ground, improving
traction on uneven surfaces.
Optional for the Cayenne, Cayenne S,
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.

Making headway without getting in a spin.
An approach we thoroughly support.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).
A system for enhancing driving dynamics
and stability, PTV Plus offers variable
distribution of engine torque to the rear
wheels and electronically controlled rear
differential. Depending on the steering
angle, steering speed, throttle pedal
position, yaw velocit y and vehicle speed,
PT V Plus optimises steering response
and precision by applying brake pres -
sure to the left or right rear wheel, as
r equired. Specifically, this means that when enter
-
ing a corner at high speed, moderate
brake pressure is applied to the inside
rear wheel. This transfers drive torque to
the outside rear wheel which supports
the steering motion of the car, thereby
improving its cornering dynamics.
At slow and medium speeds, PT V Plus
considerably enhances agility and steer -
ing precision. At high speeds, during
fast cornering and under wheel spin, the
electronically controlled rear differential
ensures additional stabilit y. Also on
variable-grip surfaces, in the wet and on snow, PT V Plus – combined with Porsche
Traction Management (PTM, p. 47) and Porsche Stabilit y Management (PSM, p. 68)
– provides a major contribution to active
safety.
In off-road terrain, PT V Plus reduces
wheel spin on the rear wheels – even when towing heav y trailer loads. The
electronically controlled rear differential
can be fully locked using the off-road
control on the centre console.
Optional for the Cayenne, Cayenne S,
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.
Porsche Active Suspension

Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping control
system. It offers continuous adjustment
of individual damping forces based on
current road conditions and driving st yle.
During performance driving or heav y off-
road use, there is an increased tendency
for the body to sway. PASM prevents
this from happening, thereby improving
stability and occupant comfort. PASM
has three setup modes: ‘Comfort ’,
‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)
Whichever one you select, the system
uses a series of sensors to monitor the
movement of the body. It also gathers
data on lateral acceleration, steering
angle, brake pressure and engine torque
and modifies the damping force on each
individual wheel in accordance with the
selected mode.
PASM remains active at all times. It
automatically adapts to the prevailing
driving conditions, enabling greater
car control and improving comfort and
safety.The Cayenne GTS is the only model in the
range to feature a steel-spring suspension

with a 24 mm reduction in ride height
including PASM. For a lower centre of
gravit y and even closer contact with the
road.
Optional for the Cayenne, Cayenne
Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid.
Standard on the Cayenne GTS.

Standard on the Cayenne Turbo:
air suspension with PASM.

All t yres have been optimised with regard
to driving performance, handling, rolling
resistance and weight. They also provide
great potential for reducing fuel consump-
tion and emissions. The three basic com -
ponents of the t yre have been enhanced –
the rubber compound, tread design and
the architecture of the substructure. This
reduces rolling resistance and fuel con -
sumption.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM).
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) provides
early warning of any drop in pressure
via the on-board computer display. In
addition, the driver can quickly and easily
check the individual pressures in all four
wheels via the multi-purpose display in
the instrument cluster.

The concept behind every car we build
is based around the pursuit of perform -
ance. This has been the case since
1948. Another of our traditional core
values is efficiency. At Porsche, we are
continually striving to find a successful
balance between the two.
This is achieved using advanced engine
concepts featuring technologies such
as DFI (p. 40), VarioCam Plus (p. 39),
the auto start /stop function (p. 38),
the parallel full hybrid drive (p. 28) and
consistent lightweight construction. Weight reduction is a key aspect of our
design philosophy derived from our rich
racing heritage. Part of our R&D Centre,
the Motorsport Department is located in
Weissach where it shares premises with
the Automotive Industry Exhaust Emission
Centre (ADA). Just a
coincidence? We call
it symbiosis.
In practice: the Cayenne is up to 185 kg
lighter, depending on the model.
1) We
have achieved this through the use of
new, innovative weight-saving materials,
the development of new production technologies and functionalities, and a
series of concept modifications. This

has enabled us to halve the weight of
the tailgate, for example. Innovative
materials are also a feature of the axle
construction, with steel being replaced
where possible by lightweight alterna -
tives such as aluminium and plastic.
The benefits for the driver: greater agilit y
and driving dynamics – with lower fuel
consumption. Efficiency at its best.
Great achievements are something to be proud of.
Even more so if they benefit the world around you.
