Foreword
The Cayenne opens up a new chapter in its success story. Four years
after the market launch of the model, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG
presents the second generation of its sporty off-road vehicle.
The new 2nd generation Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo
models have new, higher-performance engines with direct fuel injection
(DFI). The basic version of the sporty off-road vehicle has an increased
power output of 40 HP (29 kW). The Cayenne is now driven by a 290 HP
(213 kW) six-cylinder engine. Displacement has been increased from 3.2
liters to 3.6 liters and the torque was increased from 230 ftlb. (310 Nm)
to 285 ftlb. (385 Nm).
Thanks to the new direct fuel injection system (DFI) and the introduction
of VarioCam Plus valve control, the Cayenne S, which features a V8
naturally aspirated engine with an increased displacement of 4.8 liters,
achieves a torque of 370 ftlb. (500 Nm) compared to the previous
torque of 311 ftlb. (420 Nm). It now has an engine power of 385 HP
(283 kW) – an increase of 45 HP (33 kW) compared to the previous
model.
The engine power of the new top model Cayenne Turbo is 50 HP (37
kW) higher than the previous model. The new eight-cylinder engine,
which is driven by two turbochargers, has a power output of 500 HP
(368 kW) and a torque of 518 ftlb. (700 Nm) compared to the max.
torque of 459 ftlb. (620 Nm) on the previous model.
The proven Porsche Traction Management system (PTM), which distrib-
utes 62 percent of the engine power to the rear wheels and 38 percent
to the front wheels in basic mode, ensures ideal power transmission. A
multiple disc clutch allows up to 100 % of the drive torque to be
directed to the front or rear as required.
