Cayenne S in Moonlight Blue

A drive system that sets one thing racing above all else:

your heart.

Transmission.

8-speed TiptronicS

Thanks to a particularly wide ratio

spread, the -speed TiptronicS lowers

fuel consumption and increases comfort

and dynamic agility. The low engine

speeds in the higher gears reduce the

noise level inside the vehicle. The

-speed TiptronicS shifts gear

automatically and adapts to your

individual driving style.

New features include the extended Auto

Start Stop function. This cuts the engine

not only when the vehicle stops, but

also if you are approaching traffic lights,

for example.

Coasting (Available on Cayenne S

E-Hybrid only)

ther energy-saving technologies include

the ability to coast along in certain

situations, such as when you take your

foot off the accelerator pedal to reduce

your speed slowly.

Porsche Traction Management (PTM)

PTM comprises an active all-wheel drive

system with an electronically variable,

map-controlled multi-plate clutch,

Automatic Brake ifferential AB, and

Anti-Slip egulation AS.

The electronically controlled multi-plate

clutch helps to ensure optimum distribution

of force between the permanently driven

rear-axle and the front-axle. The driving

conditions are continuously monitored

to enable the system to respond to a

variety of situations. uring cornering,

the required level of engine torque is

distributed to the front wheels to provide

excellent lateral stability. The result

perfect distribution of drive torque at

all times.

PTM on the CayenneS E-Hybrid features

a permanent all-wheel drive system with

self-locking center differential. This

provides a standard torque split of 

percent to the rear and  percent to

the front. If one of the wheels is about

to lose grip, the self-locking center

differential transmits the torque to the

axle, offering the highest level of

traction. ariable distribution of engine

torque to the rear wheels also enhances

steering precision and driving dynamics.

Chassis systems.

Steel-spring suspension

The steel-spring suspension meets

high-level requirements in terms of

performance, driving pleasure, and

off-road capability. Consistent lightweight

construction ensures improved driving

dynamics, greater fuel economy, and

enhanced comfort. In addition, the

suspension setup has been further

optimied to deliver a clear result

greater comfort and sports

performance. Typically Porsche.

Air suspension with Porsche Active

Suspension Management (PASM)

A constant vehicle position thanks to air

suspension including self-leveling and

ride-height control with PASM. The

ground clearance can be adusted using

the rocker switch on the center console.

And to make it easier to load the car,

you can also select Loading Level using

a button in the luggage compartment.

PASM is an electronic damping control

system that actively and continuously

adusts the damping force on each

wheel, based on road conditions and

driving style. By means of a button on

the center console, you can select one

of three modes Comfort, Sport, or

Sport Plus. Sensors record the body

movements that accompany powerful

acceleration, braking, and rapid cornering

on uneven road surfaces. The control

unit evaluates the driving conditions and

modifies the damping force on each wheel

in accordance with the selected mode.

The result is threefold increased driving

stability, more comfort, and improved

performance.

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control

(PDCC)

PCC is an active anti-roll system that

anticipates and reduces lateral body

movement when cornering. In addition,

it minimies lateral sway of the vehicle

on rippled road surfaces.

Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus

(PTV Plus)

PT Plus is a system for enhancing

driving dynamics and stability. perating

in conunction with an electronically

controlled rear differential lock, it works

by varying the torque distribution to the

rear wheels. epending on the steering

angle and steering speed, accelerator

pedal position, yaw rate and vehicle

speed, PT Plus optimies steering

response and precision by selectively

applying brake pressure to the left or

right rear wheel.

Off-road capability and sports performance.

Off-road capability

sing the main off-road control on the

center console, you can select one of up

to three modes depending on the

model for improving the off-road

capability, or revert the setting to

normal road driving. In ff-road Mode ,

the maps for all relevant systems, e.g.,

ABS, are adapted to provide optimum

traction. In addition, High Level I is

selected on vehicles featuring air

suspension with PASM. The air

suspension can also be raised further to

High Level II to increase the approach/

departure angle and wading depth.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM)

PSM helps to stabilie the vehicle in

haardous road scenarios. The

electronic control system uses sensors

to continu ously monitor the direction,

speed, yaw velocity, and lateral

acceleration of the car. It also enhances

traction when accelerating on

inconsistent road surfaces. In Sport Plus

mode, as featured in the Sport Chrono

Package, PSM is initiated later, affording

a greater sense of freedom to the more

dynamic driver.

Sport Chrono Package

The Sport Chrono Package includes an

analog and digital timer, the Sport Plus

button, the longitudinal, and lateral

acceleration display in the instrument

cluster and a performance display in

Porsche Communication Management

PCM. For an even sportier setup.

The Sport Plus button on the center

console is used to activate Sport Plus

mode. The engine becomes even more

responsive. The damping is harder and

the steering more direct. The

Performance Start function ensures

optimal acceler ation when pulling away.

The timer mounted on the dashboard

displays the recorded driving time or can

be used as a conventional clock. PSM

also features a special performance

display to view, store, and evaluate lap

times or other driving times.

Wheels.

Wheel design

All Cayenne models feature a newly

developed wheel design that accentuates

their sporting style. ptional for all

models, we offer a selection of wheels in

a range of sies up to inches. These

include the -inch Turbo esign

wheel with wheel arch extensions, which

brings both performance and refinement

to the road.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

TPMS provides a warning of any drop

in pressure via the onboard computer

display. In addition, the driver can quickly

and easily check the individual pressures

in all four wheels via the multipurpose

display in the instrument cluster.
