Everything has changed.
Apart from the concept.
Cayenne.
At Porsche, we are continually changing.
Looking for a new and different approach.
Without ever losing sight of where we’ve
come from. That’s how we remain true to
ourselves.
The basic Cayenne concept is therefore
the same. We’ve just continued to im-
prove it: the Cayenne is now lighter –
up to 165 kg
1)
depending on the specifi-
cation – and also more dynamic, more
comfortable, and closer to the road than
ever before. Without detracting from the
qualities required for off-road driving or
towing heavy loads.
Its naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V6 engine
features direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 42),
variable valve timing on both inlet and
exhaust, and a variable resonance intake
manifold – for a generous output and
excellent fuel economy. In other words:
we have enhanced the performance,
while significantly lowering the weight,
fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions.
The figures speak for themselves:
maximum torque of 400 Nm, 220 kW
(300 hp), a top speed of 230 km/h
(142 mph) and the ability to accelerate
from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.5 sec-
onds. With both fuel consumption and
CO
2
emissions reduced by 20 %.

Delivering this power to the road effi-
ciently, Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 49) combines active all-wheel
drive with an electronically variable multi-
plate clutch, automatic brake differential
(ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR).
Together they enable the perfect distri-
bution of drive torque to all four wheels,
whether on long straights, through tight
corners or on surfaces with different
friction coefficients – for dynamic handling
and increased traction. Drive is trans-
mitted through a high-performance
six-speed manual gearbox (p. 46), which
ensures optimum progression through
the gears.
In addition to the standard 18-inch
Cayenne wheels and larger brakes, the
Cayenne can be fitted with the optional
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB, p. 68) – for even more outstand-
ing brake performance.
Another key advantage: a total weight
saving of approximately 50 % compared
with equivalent cast-iron discs.
The generous standard equipment
includes partial-leather seats, climate
control, the CDR audio system with
touchscreen, cruise control and auto-
matic headlight activation. For added
comfort, there’s also a ‘Welcome Home’
lighting function. When you arrive at a
destination after dark, the headlights
remain illuminated for a user-defined
period, lighting your path from the car.
So, a unique blend of the great sports
performance and unrestricted everyday
practicality that is typical of Porsche.
Let’s be honest, would you have expect-
ed anything else?
