differential PORSCHE CAYNNE GTS 2012 2.G Information Manual

Chassis | 15
14 | Chassis
The Cayenne GTS follows one guiding
principle alone: the racing line.
The new Cayenne GTS is equipped with
air suspension that features a 20 -mm

reduction in height when compared to a
Cayenne S as standard. This allows for
a lower center of gravit y and even closer
contact to the road.
Fit ted as standard equipment, Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM)
is an electronic damping control system.
It offers continuous adjustment of the
damping forces on each wheel, depending
on the current road conditions and driving
st yle.
During performance driving with heavy
acceleration and braking phases, there
is an increased tendency for the body to
sway. PASM prevents this from happening.
It has three driver-selectable modes whose
basic setup is performance-orient
ed to
match the capabilit y of the Cayenne GTS:

‘Comfort’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’. Sensors
monitor the movement of the body and
also gather data on lateral acceleration, steering angle, brake pressure and engine
torque. Based on the driving conditions,
the system continuously varies the individ
-
ual damping forces within the parameters
defined for the selected mode. PASM
remains active at all times. It automatical -
ly adapts to the prevailing driving situ-
ation, enabling greater vehicle control and
improving comfort and safet y – when out
for a quick ‘run’ after work, for example.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
active all-wheel drive enables high levels
of traction and impressive driving dynam -
ics. PTM continuously monitors the status
of the vehicle to ensure the optimum
torque split – for powerful acceleration
on long straights,
through tight corners
or on surfaces with different friction
coefficients.
In sport, it often comes down to those
crucial seconds. The optional Sport
Chrono Package
1) includes an analog and
digital timer located at the center of the dashboard. In conjunction
with PCM, the
performance display informs
you about
the total driving time, lap distance covered
so far, the number of laps completed and
individual lap times. Just in case you wish
to record your own personal best. Available as an option, Porsche Torque
Vectoring Plus (PT V Plus) is a system that
enhances driving dynamics and stability.
PT V Plus offers variable distribution

of engine torque to the rear wheels and an
electronically controlled rear differential. As standard, the Cayenne GTS is fit ted
with 20 -inch RS Spyder Design wheels.
These one-part alloy wheels feature a
race-inspired look.
Purism is about one thing above all:

maximum focus on that which is essen -
tial. High performance – achieved in the
most intelligent way.

Technical data: Cayenne GTS.
1) The unladen weight (EC) complies with the relevant EC Directives and is valid for standard specification vehicles only. Some items of optional equipment can increase this weight. The figure specified includes 68 kg representing the driver and 7 kg for luggage.2)
The data presented here was recorded using the Euro 5 test procedure (715/2007/ EC, 692/2008/ EC, 566/2011/EC and ECE- R 101) and the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle). The respective figures were not recorded on
individual vehicles and do not constitute par t of the of fer. This data is provided solely for the purposes of compari -
son between the respective models. Fuel consumption was recorded on vehicles with standard specification.
Optional equipment may affect fuel consumption and vehicle performance. Fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions
are not only determined by a vehicle’s fuel ef ficiency, but also by the driving st yle and other factors irrespective
of vehicle specification. All current petrol engines from Porsche are compatible with a fuel ethanol content of up
to 10 %. For more information on individual models, please contact your Porsche Center.
