A drive system that sets one thing racing above all else:
your heart.
Transmission.
8-speed TiptronicS
Thanks to a particularly wide ratio
spread, the -speed TiptronicS 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 TiptronicS 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 CayenneS 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.
