New Porsche Cayenne - more power, torque and technology

The performance figures for the new Cayenne Turbo are impressive, with an engine output 50 bhp (37 kW) higher than that of its predecessor. The new 4.8 litre eight-cylinder engine, boosted by twin exhaust-driven turbochargers, now produces 500 bhp (368 kW) and 700 Nm (previously 620 Nm). The Turbo can accelerate from 0-62mph in 5.1 seconds and has a maximum speed of 171mph. (Previous model: 5.6 seconds and 165mph.) The Cayenne Turbo is priced from UKP74,650 (US$148,000)

Porsche Traction Management (PTM)

Optimum power transmission is ensured by Porsche Traction Management (PTM) which, in standard operating mode, distributes engine power between the front and rear wheels in a ratio of 38:62. The multi-disc clutch can direct up to 100 percent of drive traction to the front or rear as required.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM)

With its brake assist function, advanced towing stabiliser system and off-road ABS, Porsche Stability Management (PSM) is standard on all Cayenne models. These functions improve the brake reaction speed, markedly reduce side-to-side ‘yawing’ which can affect vehicles when towing, and optimise braking performance on loose ground.

Dynamic Cornering Headlights

With static and, for the first time, dynamic cornering lighting, the bi-xenon headlamps fitted as standard to the Cayenne Turbo increase active safety. The system, which can also be ordered for the Cayenne and Cayenne S, is activated above 1.8 mph (3 km/h).
