Like us, you’ve probably already dis­
covered the t wo vital ingredients you
need to achieve any goal: endurance
and performance.

In the Cayenne S Diesel beats the heart
of a pure ­bred athlete. The smooth ­
running 4.2 ­litre V8 turbo ­diesel engine is
both efficient and extremely powerful.
Generating 281 kW (382 hp), it enables
the car to sprint from 0 to 100 km/ h
(62 mph) in 5.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 252 km/ h (156 mph).

Maximum torque is an impressive
850 Nm, while fuel consumption comes
in at just 8.3 l/100 km (34.0 mpg) in
the combined test cycle.

The highest performing V8 turbo ­diesel
in its class, it is assisted by t win turbo ­
charger units arranged in parallel – one
for each bank of cylinders. Incoming air
is passed through a shared filter and
compressed by the turbine units. Its
temperature is then reduced in the t win
intercooler system before it is fed
through to the engine.

Direct fuel injection comes courtesy
of a common ­rail injection system. The
piezoelectric injectors enable multiple
injections at a pressure of up to 2,000 bar,
ensuring optimum distribution of the air/
fuel mixture – for smooth ­running com ­
bustion.
As you’d expect from a diesel, efficiency
levels are high. This is due to advanced
technologies such as the standard auto
start/stop function. The turbochargers
on the Cayenne S Diesel also feature
Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG). Thermal management ensures that

the optimum operating temperature
for the engine and transmission is
reached more quickly. This reduces
fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
The key to success: being able to
stay the distance.

If you think about it, there’s really
only one way to achieve success: by
chan
nelling your energy in the right
direction. The impressive power of the
new Cayenne S Diesel is transmit ted
to
the road by the standard eight­speed
Tiptronic S. The standard sports steering
wheel has t wo ergonomic switches for
manual gear changes. The multifunction
steering wheel with switches is available
as an option, SportDesign steering wheel
features gearshift paddles.
In conjunction with Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) active all­wheel drive, the chassis offers high levels of traction
and impressive driving dynamics. The
system continuously monitors the status
of the car to ensure the optimum torque
split in every driving scenario – for
dynamic acceleration on long straights,
through tight corners or on surfaces
with different friction coefficients.
Available as an option, Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM) is an
electronic damping control system. It
provides continuous adjustment of the
damping forces on each wheel depending
on the current road conditions and driving

st yle. There is a choice of three setup
modes: ‘Comfort’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’.
PASM automatically adapts to the
prevailing driving conditions, enabling
greater car control and improved
comfort and safet y.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PT V
Plus), also optional, is a system
that enhances the driving dynamics
even further. It offers variable distribu­
tion of engine torque to the rear wheels
and electronically controlled rear
differential. PT V Plus optimises steering
response and precision by applying brake
pressure to the left or right rear wheel,
as required.
No matter what your aspirations,
it pays to be grounded.
