The Porsche ‘S’ has long been a mark of heightened sports performance and abundant reserves of power. On the Cayenne S, it also stands for strength, agility and efficiency.

Drive
At the heart of the car is a naturally aspirated 4.8-litre V8 engine featuring direct fuel injection (DFI), VarioCam Plus and a two-stage intake manifold. This helps to keep fuel consumption and emissions low, while ensuring maximum output. In short: 294 kW (400 hp), maximum torque of 500 Nm and a top speed of 258 km/h (160 mph). The Cayenne S accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in as little as 5.9 seconds. Fuel consumption has been reduced by up to 23% and CO2 emissions by as much as 26%.* The weight of the car has also been lowered by 180 kg*.

Drive is transmitted to the road with smoothness and precision by the eight-speed Tiptronic S, which is now standard equipment and includes gearshift controls on the steering wheel. The result: optimum use of the available power reserves.

Of course, to apply exceptional power like this effectively, it needs to be harnessed and controlled. For example, by Porsche Traction Management (PTM). On the new Cayenne S, this active all-wheel drive system features an electronically variable, map-controlled multi-plate clutch, an automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR). Working in conjunction with advanced Porsche Stability Management (PSM), PTM ensures the required torque split in every driving scenario. On or off road. During performance driving, as well as on leisurely journeys or when towing heavy loads.

The black slats on the air intakes make them appear larger, and the car wider. Other distinctive features include the 19-inch Cayenne Turbo wheels.

The Porsche ‘S’. A mark to which the new Cayenne S holds true.

Chassis
Precision. One of the most important words in the Porsche engineering vocabulary. Essential both in the application of power and in feedback from the road. It is the absolute ideal that must be attained, whatever the obstacles that stand in our way. From the varied requirements of everyday use to the most demanding off-road terrain.

Safety
Seeking new paths. Making new discoveries. Yet always prepared for every eventuality. That’s always been our philosophy at Porsche. And the key to our active and passive safety systems.

Comfort
As on every Porsche, the interior of the new Cayenne is designed around the driver, combining sporting style with the very highest standards of ergonomics, comfort and quality.

Particularly striking features include the way the centre console rises to meet the dashboard – clearly inspired by the Carrera GT. This immediately enhances the interior structure, a continuation of the car’s dynamic exterior lines. The seat position and three-spoke multi-function steering wheel offer exceptional support and contact – for an even sportier ride.

All new Cayenne models are fitted with electric windows, front and rear, with door-lock open/close facility as well as climate control and remote central locking.

The interior features a range of quality materials available in various combinations and comes in a choice of interior colours and finishes offering sporting style and exclusivity. They are also a number of optional interior packages in a selection of woods or in aluminium or carbon – for a race-inspired look.

Practicality
Strength. Endurance. Versatility. Three of the qualities that define every Porsche. In the new Cayenne models, they form a new permutation. And bring a new facet to the concept of high performance.

Environment
Pushing to the limit. Achieving the best. Celebrating performance. Yet always with consideration for the bigger picture. For the wider world around you. Because when we go to every extreme, we do so in every respect.

Colours
A wide range of colours offers the option of giving your Cayenne an even more personalised character. The selection of standard or metallic paint colours, the interior and leather finishes alone provide a pronounced high degree of personalisation. On request, we can paint your Cayenne in a colour of your own choice. There are no limits to your creativity – anything is possible.
