The Cayenne Turbo is powered by a 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine featuring direct fuel injection (DFI), VarioCam Plus and charge-air cooling. It generates 500 hp at 6,000 rpm. Maximum torque of 516 lb.-ft. is available between 2,250 and 4,500 rpm. Maximum speed is 172 mph, while the sprint from 0 to 60 mph takes as little as 4.2 seconds. By introducing a range of measures, e.g. standard fitment of the eight-speed Tiptronic S, we have been able to make the car 23% more fuel efficient.*

Porsche Traction Management (PTM) is an active all-wheel drive system with an electronically variable, map-controlled multi-plate clutch, automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR).

Torque is distributed between the front and rear axles by means of the electronically variable multi-plate clutch. For the toughest off-road terrain, the differential can be locked using the PTM control on the centrer console. With the aid of on-board sensors, the status of the car is continuously monitored and the front/rear split is adjusted to match changing driving conditions. The sensors are used to measure a range of values, including the rotational speed of all four wheels, the lateral and longitudinal acceleration of the car, and the current steering angle.

If, for example, the rear wheels threaten to lose traction under acceleration, a greater proportion of drive torque is automatically transmitted to the front axle by a more positive engagement of the multi-plate clutch. In addition, ASR minimizes wheel spin. During cornering, the required level of engine torque is distributed to the front wheels to ensure excellent lateral stability.

In conjunction with advanced Porsche Stability Management (PSM), PTM ensures the perfect distribution of drive torque for optimum traction in all road scenarios, whether on long straights, through tight corners or on surfaces with different friction coefficients. If one of the wheels is about to lose traction, PTM uses the ABD function to apply the corresponding brake. As a result, more drive is automatically transferred to the opposite wheel. If both wheels on one

axle are in danger of slipping, ASR immediately intervenes and modifies engine output to maintain drive. As well as enhancing traction and active safety, Porsche Traction Management (PTM) offers exceptional handling and driving dynamics.

Standard on the Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.

DFI injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber at up to 1740 psi with millisecond precision using electromagnetic injectors. The injector position and spray geometry have been carefully designed to improve output, torque, fuel economy and emissions. The swirling of the fuel as it enters each chamber increases the mixing of air and fuel, thereby enhancing combustion. By forming the air/fuel mixture directly in the combustion chamber, DFI contributes to engine cooling. As a result, it was possible to increase the compression ratio and therefore power and efficiency.

The Cayenne models that are equipped with eight-speed Tiptronic S also feature an Auto Start Stop function. If, for example, you stop at traffic lights and keep your foot on the brake pedal, the Auto Start Stop will automatically turn off the engine. Although the engine is not running, all audio and communication systems remain switched on and the standard climate control continues to maintain the selected temperature. The only changes you’ll perceive: peace and quiet and – thanks to greater fuel economy – also peace of mind.

The system is deactivated in certain situations, e.g. if the outside temperature is very high or the battery charge is low. The starter motor has been revised to cope with the additional demands of the system, and the battery charge and life are continuously monitored. The battery and starter motor are replacement parts that are subject to greater wear and tear with frequent use of the

Auto Start Stop function.

Standard on the Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid, Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo. Available as an option for the Cayenne in conjunction with the optional Tiptronic S.

The outstanding feature of the eight-speed Tiptronic S is a particularly wide ratio spread. First gear is designed for optimum acceleration when pulling away and greater performance when tackling ascents and towing loads in off-road terrain. Top track speed is reached in 6th gear (in 7th gear on the Cayenne Diesel). The remaining upper gears are used to lower the engine speeds at highway speed, thereby enhancing fuel economy and occupant comfort. On the motorway in particular, driving at low engine speeds will significantly reduce the noise level inside the vehicle.

In automatic mode, the driver can influence gearshifts on the Tiptronic S using the throttle and brakes alone. Tiptronic S automatically adapts the gearshift points for performance driving – equally, if a more defensive driving style is detected, the system selects a gearshift point that offers maximum fuel economy. Under heavy braking, Tiptronic S shifts down to maximize engine

braking.

An electric pump is used to maintain the required pressure of the transmission fluid, e.g. to transmit high levels of torque at lower engine speeds.

The standard multifunction steering wheel in conjunction with Tiptronic S has two ergonomic switches for manual gear changes. One press forward with the thumb and Tiptronic S shifts up. One pull backwards with the index finger and Tiptronic S shifts down. Either the right or left-hand switch can be used. The result: an even more dynamic response when changing gear.

Standard on the Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid, Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.

Optional for the Cayenne.

VarioCam Plus creates two engines out of one by steplessly adjusting the inlet valve timing and lift.

The system differentiates between normal road usage and performance driving, adapting seamlessly as driver inputs change. All functions are automatically controlled by the engine management system. All you experience is responsive acceleration and ultra-smooth running characteristics. Inlet valve timing is steplessly adjusted. To improve response when starting from cold, for example, VarioCam Plus selects the higher lift setting and retards valve timing.

At medium PMS and minimal load, the valve lift is lowered and timing advanced to minimize fuel consumption and emissions. At low engine speeds in particular, VarioCam Plus significantly

improves fuel economy. To achieve maximum power and torque, the valve lift is raised.

Overall, the system provides greater performance with relatively modest fuel consumption.

Standard on the Cayenne S, Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.

The V6 engine in the Cayenne features variable valve timing on both inlet and exhaust. The camshaft phase angles are continuously varied by the engine management system via rotary-vane adjusters.

On the Cayenne S Hybrid, the inlet valve timing is continuously adjusted.

The key benefits include better fuel economy and lower emissions. It also helps to generate greater power and torque – even at low engine speeds.

Standard on the Cayenne and Cayenne S Hybrid.

A high-performance engine can only maintain its maximum capability over a long service life if all components are operating consistently within a specific temperature range. The engines in the Cayenne models are therefore designed for efficient cooling.

In order to reduce the frictional losses that occur during warm-up, all Cayenne models feature comprehensive thermal management. Using intelligent control, it activates the different cooling circuits individually and on demand, thereby ensuring that the optimum operating temperature for the engine and transmission is reached more quickly. This minimizes friction – and keeps fuel consumption and CO2 emissions low.

The V8 engines have an enhanced coolant management system offering effective temperature control throughout the engine. While 20 percent of coolant flows longitudinally through the crankcase, the remaining 80 percent serves the cylinder heads using the proven cross-flow principle (from hot to cold).

On all Cayenne models, the piston heads are cooled using oil-spray jets integrated within the main lubrication system.

The entire cooling system is designed for prolonged heavy-duty use, e.g. off-road driving or heavy towing and carrying applications.

The V8 engines use dry-sump lubrication to ensure a consistent supply of oil in all load conditions, especially in off-road terrain. The oil reservoir is located inside the engine. This saves on space and reduces weight.

Oil is circulated around the V8 engines using a demand-driven pump. This has been designed for the toughest driving scenarios on and off road, including performance driving and extreme gradients.

The V6 engines have a wet-sump lubrication system. Ensuring a reliable supply of oil, whatever the driving conditions.

In the Cayenne Turbo, the engine is assisted by twin turbocharger units arranged in parallel – one for each bank of cylinders. Incoming air is passed through a filter and compressed by the turbine units. Its temperature is then reduced in the twin intercooler system, which improves cylinder charging and limits thermal loads on the engine.

Understatement coupled with clear statements: lower fuel consumption, faster acceleration.* Supreme engineering that speaks for itself. In short, everything you’d expect from a Turbo.

Another clear statement is the distinctive sound from the twin dual-tube tailpipes. Produced by the 4.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers 368 kW (500 hp) and features direct fuel injection (DFI). The car has a top speed of 278 km/h and the benchmark sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is completed in 4.7 seconds. Maximum torque is 700 Nm. Here too, fuel consumption has been reduced by 23% and CO2 emissions by 25%.* Not least thanks to a weight saving of 185 kg.*

Optimum traction and safety are provided by Porsche Traction Management (PTM) active all-wheel drive. Also connecting the car to the road are the 19-inch Cayenne Turbo wheels – wheels up to 21

inches in diameter are available as an option. The chassis on the Cayenne Turbo is equipped as standard with air suspension featuring self-levelling and ride-height control, as well as Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). This electronic damping control system offers continuous adjustment of the damping forces on each wheel – depending on current road conditions and driving style. This enables greater car control, improving safety and comfort.

Comfort is also key in the Cayenne Turbo interior. Standard equipment comprises an interior package in smooth-finish leather, a rooflining in Alcantara and an electrically adjustable steering column.

Also fitted as standard: the BOSE® Surround Sound System, Porsche Communication Management (PCM)

with navigation module, adaptive sports seats with comfort memory package (18-way), Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM), automatic headlight activation and automatically dimming exterior and interior mirrors.

Exterior features exclusive to the Cayenne Turbo include Bi-Xenon main headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), larger air intakes and a distinctive ‘power dome’ on the bonnet – a clear reference to the enormous potential within.

Following our long established principles, the Cayenne Turbo blends phenomenal performance with outstanding comfort and efficiency. It does so in style, but without ever compromising on any one in particular. Because we believe that less can also mean more.
