The Porsche ‘S’ has long been
a mark of heightened sports
performance. On the Cayenne S –
as on many cars before – it means
power, athleticism, more efficient
dynamics – even greater driving
pleasure.
To experience its effects, simply
drop down a gear on the six-speed
manual gearbox (option: six-speed
Tiptronic S) and open up the
throttle on the 4.8-litre V8 engine.
Thanks to direct fuel injection (DFI),
the effect is immediate with drive
transmitted to a set of 18-inch
Cayenne S II wheels. The car is
propelled to 100 km/h (62 mph) in
as little as 6.6 seconds. Maximum
speed is 252 km/h (157 mph).
The naturally aspirated V8 develops
283 kW (385 hp) at 6,200 rpm.
Maximum torque is 500 Nm
from 3,500 rpm. This exceptional
performance is, in part, achieved
with the aid of variable valve
timing and two-stage valve lift
(VarioCam Plus). This system is
also responsible for the smooth
running characteristics, significantly
improved fuel economy and lower
exhaust emissions.
The engine sound is typically
Porsche – even more so with the
optional sports exhaust system
(available in conjunction with
Tiptronic S). As well as enhancing
the acoustics of the car, it features
twin chrome-plated stainless
steel tailpipes. The sports exhaust
has a ‘Sport’ sound setting that
is automatically enabled when the
general ‘Sport’ mode is selected.
Reaches places that others can only dream of.
Like the heights of driving pleasure.
The Cayenne S.
The handling characteristics and
driving properties are exemplary
for a car of such versatility. Equally
impressive are the standard safety
systems, including larger brakes
with distinctive silver-finish calipers.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
is standard on all Cayenne models
and provides a further reduction in
braking distances (see page 98).
The Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB) is available as optional
equipment on the Cayenne S,
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.
The driving dynamics can be
further enhanced with the optional
air suspension featuring Porsche
Active Suspension Management
(PASM – see page 76).
