2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder and 2011 Porsche Boxster Cayman
The History new Boxster Sypder which was revealed to the world at the Los Angeles Auto Show in late 2009 and went on sale in February of 2010 has brought even more excitement to Porsche’s renowned mid-engine model lineup that includes the 2011 Porsche Boxster and the Boxster S roadsters and Cayman and Cayman S coupes. For the 2011 model year, the Boxster, the Boxster S, the Cayman and the Cayman S now offer more standard features at the same MSRPs as last year. For example, standard equipment this year includes Bluetooth hands-free phone interface and a universal audio interface that provides connections for a MP3 player.
Also new for 2011 are popular equipment packages for the 2011 Porsche Boxster and 2011 Porsche Cayman models, with the exception of the new minimalistic Boxster Spyder. These new packages include the Convenience Package, the Infotainment Package, the Design Package, and the Design Sport package, all of which group attractive options at a value. For example, the Design Package groups 19-inch Spyder wheels, as well as black treatment of the exhaust pipes, rollbars (Boxster line only) the side panel intake, the outside rear view mirrors, dashboard trim cover, gear shift/selector lever trim cover, and dashboard air vents. Also new for 2011 are fresh metallic color options: Platinum Silver Metallic, Ruby Red and Amethyst Metallic.
Designed and built as a classic Porsche engine, the flat-six power in the Spyder offers optimum qualities for the Spyder, including low weight, a flat engine structure with a low center of gravity, and a reduction of inner friction. Furthermore, the crankcase is split up into two sections and comes as a closed-deck structure, while the car’s engine mounts are optimized to firmly connect the power plant to the body and thereby minimize movement.
The 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder Making headlines around the world, Porsche’s newest mid-engine sports car, the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder model, offers a very high level of pure driving enjoyment. The newest member of the Boxster family stands out from the other versions of Porsche’s mid-engined roadster. Its low-slung, lightweight soft top when closed extends far to the rear to protect the driver and passenger from bright sunshine, wind and weather. This top, when combined with shorter side windows and two striking bulges on the single-piece rear lid, provides the Boxster Spyder with a sleek silhouette reminiscent of the Carrera GT super sports car.
Weighing in at just 2,811 lbs, the Spyder is the lightest Porsche available today this from a company known for lightweight, proficient sports cars. In many respects, it represents the most pure form of the sports car agile, powerful, open and efficient, combining maximum driving dynamics with minimum weight. The Boxster Spyder features a 3.4-liter six-cylinder engine with Direct Fuel Injection upfront of the rear axle. Maximum output is 320 horsepower (hp), 10 hp more than the
Boxster S.
Engineers were able to create the lightest Porsche by developing new weight-saving features and also by simply removing others. For example, the doors of the Spyder are made of aluminum a decision that saves 33 lbs from the conventional Boxster doors. Also, Porsche engineers used two extra-light sport bucket seats that save 26 pounds, and side windows that are lower and lighter. Another example of weight-saving engineering is the use of a strikingly designed single-piece rear lid made of aluminum, which saves nearly 7 pounds. Also newly developed for this car were the lightest 19-inch wheels in the Porsche pallet.
The unique, two-piece manual top not only saves 46 lbs but it also helps in lowering the new Boxster’s center of gravity by almost one inch. Of course, one of the most effective ways of saving weight is to simply leave out certain features that for the true driving purist are frivolous. For example, this new car does not come with a radio or with air conditioning (although both can be added as a no-cost option). Even interior door handles have been eliminated and replaced with light weight
cloth straps.
Under the hood, the engine’s extra power is primarily the result of an even more consistent use of Porsche’s high-speed concept, with the power unit featured in the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder reaching its peak output at 7,200 rpm, or 800 rpm more than the maximum engine speed of the Porsche Boxster S. The redline on the Spyder is 7,500. And while the Boxster S develops it maximum torque of 266 lbs/ft between 4,400 rpm and 5,500 rpm, the power unit featured in the Boxster Spyder reaches it peak torque of 273 lb-ft at 4,750.
Of course a particular highlight of the 3.4 power unit featured in the new 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder and 2011 Boxster S is Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) with a homogeneous fuel/air mixture formation. DFI ensures a particularly smooth and consistent distribution of air and fuel within the combustion chamber. The result is a more optimum combustion quality at all times. DFI has a positive impact not only on the efficiency of the engine, but also on its performance characteristics. With fuel being injected within fractions of a second prior to the actual combustion process, the engine responds spontaneously to even the slightest movement of the gas pedal.
Also contributing to the Boxster Spyder’s outstanding engine performance is the use of four oil sumps with on-demand controls. The oil follows the principle of an integrated dry sump, and as a result, the oil pump does not consume more energy than required and ensures exactly the right level of lubrication at all times. Feeding the Spyder engine with lots of fresh air is a high-flow intake system. This system uses a resonance distributor manifold between the right and left intake distributor pipe. Switching according to what is required at the time, the resonance flap adjusts the oscillation of air within the system to the current engine speed and demand, providing high torque at low speed, a smooth and consistent torque curve, and a high level of maximum power.
The combination of 10 more hp and 176 pounds less weight than the award-winning 2011 Porsche Boxster S, plus an all-new sport suspension that lowers the Boxster Spyder 20 mm, a lower center of gravity, a standard limited slip differential, and exclusive wheels provides the kind of driving dynamics that back up the unique look. When equipped with Porsche-Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission and the Sports Chrono Package, the new Spyder, using Launch Control, accelerates from a standstill
to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. Top track speed is 166 mph with the roof open. EPA figures are 19 city/26 highway and 20 city/29 highway with a manual and PDK gearbox, respectively. The 2011 Boxster Spyder is priced at $61,200, plus $950 for destination.
Also new for 2011 are popular equipment packages for the 2011 Porsche Boxster and 2011 Porsche Cayman models, with the exception of the new minimalistic Boxster Spyder. These new packages include the Convenience Package, the Infotainment Package, the Design Package, and the Design Sport package, all of which group attractive options at a value. For example, the Design Package groups 19-inch Spyder wheels, as well as black treatment of the exhaust pipes, rollbars (Boxster line only) the side panel intake, the outside rear view mirrors, dashboard trim cover, gear shift/selector lever trim cover, and dashboard air vents.

2011-2012 Porsche Cayman and Porsche Cayman S Best Concept and Top Speed
Two different characters. OneThe new 2011 Porsche Cayman and Porsche Cayman S. An uncompromising declaration of individuality. personality. Their drive for power is impressive, their spirited nature fascinating. Two sports coupés that go beyond all conventions. Two cars that draw their drivers under their spell, forever. The concept behind the Porsche Cayman models is the ‘Le Mans Coupé’, a sports coupé designed in 1953 specifically for this legendary race and based on the 550 Spyder. Its mid-engine layout is what made this car special.The car’s low centre of gravity gave it tremendous agility and cornering dynamics. From this one basic idea came great success, and with this success our experience grew. The result? Two sophisticated sportscars. The new 2011 Porsche Cayman and the new Porsche Cayman S.
Their uncompromising performance is generated by two brand new engine developments, which stand out above all for their lightweight construction, power output and efficiency. The new 2011 Porsche Cayman has a 2.9-litre flat-six engine with a power output of 195 kW (265 hp). Even more impressive are the performance values of the new 2011 Porsche Cayman S, now with direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 34). The fuel/air mixture is prepared entirely in the combustion chamber after having been metered and injected directly, with millisecond precision. This means even more power and torque. To express this in figures, its 3.4-litre flat-six engine unleashes a mighty 235 kW (320 hp).
In either model, this tremendous power is delivered to the road by a precision six-speed manual gearbox. New 2011 Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK, p. 48) is also available as an option. The key elements of PDK are its seven gears, two half gearboxes and two clutches. It features both manual and automatic modes. Gears are changed using the new gear selector for PDK or the buttons on the optional sports steering wheel for PDK. The gear change takes place in a matter of milliseconds without any interruption in the flow of power. The advantage over a fully manual transmission is the considerably faster rate of acceleration for the same rate of fuel consumption. The advantage over a fully automatic transmission is a perceptible increase in driving dynamics with a similar level of comfort, and a distinct reduction in fuel consumption.
The handling of the new 2011 Porsche Cayman models is impressive. The suspension tuning has been completely modified without sacrificing the comfort required for longer journeys. For a driving experience that is even more involving, consider the optionally available Sport Chrono Package (p. 62). It offers even sportier tuning of the engine and chassis at the push of a button. The optional mechanically locking rear differential (p. 60) delivers high traction and increased performance. A wider track and generously dimensioned wheels in a new design are also your guarantee of a resolutely dynamic driving experience.
The new headlight design and new LED taillights are a striking feature. Bi-Xenon headlights including LED daytime running lights and dynamic cornering lights are available as an option. Porsche Stability Management (PSM, p. 72), which is available as standard, makes you feel even safer and now comes with two additional functions: precharging of the brake system, and brake assist. A high level of passive safety is provided by the driver’s and passenger’s airbags, which are fitted as standard, and the Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP, p.74) with head and thorax airbags.
A look inside the passenger compartment leaves you in no doubt that the car was designed for uncompromising sportiness. All the important functions are intuitive to control, including the latest,
optional Porsche Communication Management (PCM, p. 92) with navigation module, 6.5-inch touchscreen and CD/DVD drive. Optional seat ventilation keeps you cool when the weather is very
warm, while the heated Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) steering wheel is a welcome feature on
particularly cold days. The new, optionally available BOSE® Surround Sound System offers a genuine alternative to the distinctive sound of the engine. In conjunction with the new PCM,
it supports 5.1 surround sound for the first time.
The design of the new Porsche Cayman and Porsche Cayman S models is befitting of their distinctive, sporty character. Their performance potential is obvious at first sight, for these are true specimens of force and athleticism. Individual styling features help to define both vehicles so impressively. A certain style, like no other. Immediately, the front displays the kind of character that you expect to find in the new Cayman A constant interaction of convex and concave curves. models. The front end has been restyled with enlarged air intakes that hint at the performance within. The contouring of the front apron gives the car an even more purposeful appearance. The front
spoiler lip has been enlarged, further reducing lift at the front axle.
The front wings with their new, integrated headlights give the Porsche Cayman models a distinctively sporty look. The headlights feature a brand new design. Both models are equipped as standard with halogen headlights, LED position lights and front fog lights integrated into the outer air intakes. Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights, including LED daytime running lights, are available on request. Follow the car’s clean lines along the side towards the rear, past the newly styled and enlarged exterior mirrors, where the impressive design continues. The styling is emphasised by the distinctly pronounced curves of the front and rear wings and the shape of the doors.
Typically for a coupé, there is a gradual, flowing transition from the A-pillar to the rear. The sharper contour of the side skirts directs the air stream down to the side air intakes which are designed to
facilitate considerable throughflow. The rear section of the side windows curves dynamically upwards. Extending beyond the side windows are two additional lines that direct attention towards the rear end. One of these lines continues to frame the large rear screen. The second line continues its rearward path to the new LED taillight module. The elegant, extendable rear wing further reduces lift at the rear axle. Below, you cannot miss the visible hallmark of the characteristic Porsche sound: the new stainless steel tailpipe twin tailpipe on the 2011-2012 Porsche Cayman S integrated into the new rear end. The unmistakable styling of the Porsche Cayman models is complemented by the new wheel design. The 2011 Porsche Cayman is fitted with 17-inch wheels as standard, the Porsche Cayman S with 18-inch wheels. A 19-inch option is available for both models. The result of all of these measures? A unique appearance and refined aerodynamics with a low drag coefficient of only 0.29.
The new 2011 Porsche Cayman models. Even more sophisticated, even more dynamic, and when it comes to style, they trust in only one direction: their own. It's not just about the drive for individuality or supreme performance. Above all, it's the indescribable intensity with which the new Cayman models express these two virtues. Precisely one attitude is the driving force behind the new Cayman:
the absolute conviction to remain true to oneself. No middle roads. No compromises. No nonsense.
One of the features that exemplifies this attitude is the mid-engine layout, which ensures a low centre
of gravity and thus a high degree of agility and an extremely sporty drive. The new six-cylinder
horizontally opposed power unit has a capacity of 2.9 litres.
The engine delivers a power output of 195 kW (265 hp) at an engine speed of 7,200 rpm. A maximum torque of 300 Nm is achieved between 4,400 and 6,000 rpm. From a standing start, the new Cayman accelerates to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.8 seconds. With the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), this sprint takes just 5.7 seconds. Top speed is 164 mph (265 km/h) in conjunction with the manual gearbox. Equally impressive, however, is the 10% reduction
in fuel consumption and the 12% reduction in CO2 emissions, depending on the type of gearbox.
The power of the engine is delivered to the road by a precision six-speed manual gearbox.
To cope with the increased engine power output, the new Cayman has enlarged brake discs at the front axle for an even shorter braking distance and improved safety. Fitted as standard are 17-inch wheels with a new star-shaped design which allows an eye-catching view of the brake system. And the interior? The overall impression is simply one of high quality. For instance, the rims of all optional steering wheels are covered in smooth-finish leather. The front centre console has been completely restyled and is now finished predominantly in traditional black. The new, integrated CDR-30 audio system with 5-inch display comes as standard and an integrated six-disc CD/DVD autochanger is available as an option. The new Cayman has found its way. Its own? Without doubt.
To accept no compromises, to make conscious decisions, to be governed by nothing other than one's own free will, and to have a clear point of view. A highly promising way to build a sportscar.
For us, it's the only way. It is from this philosophy that we developed the new mid-mounted engine with a 3.4-litre capacity and direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 34). The engine delivers a power output of 235 kW (320 hp) at 7,200 rpm, and a maximum torque of 370 Nm is achieved at 4,750 rpm. It has been possible to reduce fuel consumption by up to 15% and CO2 emissions by up to 16%, depending on the type of gearbox.
The new 2011 Porsche Cayman S reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 5.2 seconds. Top speed isn’t reached until 172 mph (277 km/h). Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK, p. 48) is available as an option. The fastest rate of acceleration of 4.9 seconds is achieved in conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package. In addition to having a higher power output, the new Porsche Cayman S also differs from the new porsche Cayman in its appearance. It has a front spoiler painted in the vehicle’s exterior colour, and a new twin tailpipe in stainless steel. The sound? Distinctive. In keeping with the rest of the new 2011 Porsche Cayman S. But so much power also needs to be tamed. This is the task of the optimised brake system with four-piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers in a striking red painted finish.
To deliver the increased power output to the road, the Porsche Cayman S is fitted with 18-inch Porsche Cayman S II wheels. Their new design exudes pure dynamism as befits the model's overall look. In summary, the new 2011 Porsche Cayman S is more than just a sportscar. It's a Porsche. Two new engines, several goals: increased power, improved driving dynamics, reduced fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions. The engine is positioned in the middle of the car, 30 centimetres behind the driver. Just a few centimetres above road level. Any contact with the accelerator pedal unleashes power that knows only one direction: forwards. And a sound that is second to none.
Both Porsche Cayman models are equipped with brand new engine developments, but have retained the familiar layout: six horizontally opposed cylinders. The 2.9-litre engine of the new Cayman delivers 195 kW (265 hp) at an engine speed of 7,200 rpm. The maximum torque of 300 Nm is achieved between 4,400 and 6,000 rpm. The new engine of the Cayman S has a 3.4-litre capacity and, for the first time, direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 34). Power output is 235 kW (320 hp) at 7,200 rpm. Maximum torque: 370 Nm at 4,750 rpm. Each of the new engines convinces with its outstanding performance figures, extremely smooth running, optimised gas cycles and tremendous cornering agility, with fuel consumption and CO2 emissions reduced by up to 15% and 16%, depending on the model.
All of this is achieved by DFI (in the Porsche Cayman S), a lightweight construction and a host of other engineering advancements, e.g. VarioCam Plus (p. 43). This system increases torque in the lower engine speed range and power output in the upper engine speed range. Injection and ignition are
controlled by the engine electronics. The driver regulates engine power and of course sound using the extremely sensitive electronic accelerator pedal.
The new engine of the 2011-2012 Porsche Cayman S has direct fuel injection (DFI). With millisecond precision, fuel is injected at up to 120 bar directly into the combustion chamber by means of electromagnetically DFI improves the internal coolingactuated injection valves. The spray and cone angles have been optimised for torque, power output, fuel consumption and emissions by enabling a homogeneous distribution of the air/fuel mixture, and, therefore, effective combustion. Multiple fuel injections take place, depending on the driving style. of the combustion chamber by having the mixture prepared directly in the cylinder. This allows for a higher compression ratio (12.5:1) which helps to deliver more output along with enhanced engine efficiency. It has therefore been possible to reduce fuel consumption by up to 15% and CO2 emissions by up to 16%, depending on the type of gearbox. Injection is regulated by the electronic engine management system. The exhaust gas cleaning system ensures that emissions remain well below even the strict limits of the EU5 emission standard, thus helping to protect the environment.

Typically for a coupé, there is a gradual, flowing transition from the A-pillar to the rear. The sharper contour of the side skirts directs the air stream down to the side air intakes which are designed to
facilitate considerable throughflow. The rear section of the side windows curves dynamically upwards. Extending beyond the side windows are two additional lines that direct attention towards the rear end. One of these lines continues to frame the large rear screen. The second line continues its rearward path to the new LED taillight module. The elegant, extendable rear wing further reduces lift at the rear axle. Below, you cannot miss the visible hallmark of the characteristic Porsche sound: the new stainless steel tailpipe twin tailpipe on the 2011-2012 Porsche Cayman S integrated into the new rear end. The unmistakable styling of the Porsche Cayman models is complemented by the new wheel design. The 2011 Porsche Cayman is fitted with 17-inch wheels as standard, the Porsche Cayman S with 18-inch wheels. A 19-inch option is available for both models. The result of all of these measures? A unique appearance and refined aerodynamics with a low drag coefficient of only 0.29.

The new 2011 Porsche Cayman models. Even more sophisticated, even more dynamic, and when it comes to style, they trust in only one direction: their own. It's not just about the drive for individuality or supreme performance. Above all, it's the indescribable intensity with which the new Cayman models express these two virtues. Precisely one attitude is the driving force behind the new Cayman:
the absolute conviction to remain true to oneself. No middle roads. No compromises. No nonsense.
One of the features that exemplifies this attitude is the mid-engine layout, which ensures a low centre
of gravity and thus a high degree of agility and an extremely sporty drive. The new six-cylinder
horizontally opposed power unit has a capacity of 2.9 litres.
The engine delivers a power output of 195 kW (265 hp) at an engine speed of 7,200 rpm. A maximum torque of 300 Nm is achieved between 4,400 and 6,000 rpm. From a standing start, the new Cayman accelerates to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.8 seconds. With the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), this sprint takes just 5.7 seconds. Top speed is 164 mph (265 km/h) in conjunction with the manual gearbox. Equally impressive, however, is the 10% reduction
in fuel consumption and the 12% reduction in CO2 emissions, depending on the type of gearbox.
The power of the engine is delivered to the road by a precision six-speed manual gearbox.

To cope with the increased engine power output, the new Cayman has enlarged brake discs at the front axle for an even shorter braking distance and improved safety. Fitted as standard are 17-inch wheels with a new star-shaped design which allows an eye-catching view of the brake system. And the interior? The overall impression is simply one of high quality. For instance, the rims of all optional steering wheels are covered in smooth-finish leather. The front centre console has been completely restyled and is now finished predominantly in traditional black. The new, integrated CDR-30 audio system with 5-inch display comes as standard and an integrated six-disc CD/DVD autochanger is available as an option. The new Cayman has found its way. Its own? Without doubt.
The new 2011 Porsche Cayman S
To accept no compromises, to make conscious decisions, to be governed by nothing other than one's own free will, and to have a clear point of view. A highly promising way to build a sportscar.
For us, it's the only way. It is from this philosophy that we developed the new mid-mounted engine with a 3.4-litre capacity and direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 34). The engine delivers a power output of 235 kW (320 hp) at 7,200 rpm, and a maximum torque of 370 Nm is achieved at 4,750 rpm. It has been possible to reduce fuel consumption by up to 15% and CO2 emissions by up to 16%, depending on the type of gearbox.
The new 2011 Porsche Cayman S reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 5.2 seconds. Top speed isn’t reached until 172 mph (277 km/h). Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK, p. 48) is available as an option. The fastest rate of acceleration of 4.9 seconds is achieved in conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package. In addition to having a higher power output, the new Porsche Cayman S also differs from the new porsche Cayman in its appearance. It has a front spoiler painted in the vehicle’s exterior colour, and a new twin tailpipe in stainless steel. The sound? Distinctive. In keeping with the rest of the new 2011 Porsche Cayman S. But so much power also needs to be tamed. This is the task of the optimised brake system with four-piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers in a striking red painted finish.
To deliver the increased power output to the road, the Porsche Cayman S is fitted with 18-inch Porsche Cayman S II wheels. Their new design exudes pure dynamism as befits the model's overall look. In summary, the new 2011 Porsche Cayman S is more than just a sportscar. It's a Porsche. Two new engines, several goals: increased power, improved driving dynamics, reduced fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions. The engine is positioned in the middle of the car, 30 centimetres behind the driver. Just a few centimetres above road level. Any contact with the accelerator pedal unleashes power that knows only one direction: forwards. And a sound that is second to none.
Both Porsche Cayman models are equipped with brand new engine developments, but have retained the familiar layout: six horizontally opposed cylinders. The 2.9-litre engine of the new Cayman delivers 195 kW (265 hp) at an engine speed of 7,200 rpm. The maximum torque of 300 Nm is achieved between 4,400 and 6,000 rpm. The new engine of the Cayman S has a 3.4-litre capacity and, for the first time, direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 34). Power output is 235 kW (320 hp) at 7,200 rpm. Maximum torque: 370 Nm at 4,750 rpm. Each of the new engines convinces with its outstanding performance figures, extremely smooth running, optimised gas cycles and tremendous cornering agility, with fuel consumption and CO2 emissions reduced by up to 15% and 16%, depending on the model.
All of this is achieved by DFI (in the Porsche Cayman S), a lightweight construction and a host of other engineering advancements, e.g. VarioCam Plus (p. 43). This system increases torque in the lower engine speed range and power output in the upper engine speed range. Injection and ignition are
controlled by the engine electronics. The driver regulates engine power and of course sound using the extremely sensitive electronic accelerator pedal.
The new engine of the 2011-2012 Porsche Cayman S has direct fuel injection (DFI). With millisecond precision, fuel is injected at up to 120 bar directly into the combustion chamber by means of electromagnetically DFI improves the internal coolingactuated injection valves. The spray and cone angles have been optimised for torque, power output, fuel consumption and emissions by enabling a homogeneous distribution of the air/fuel mixture, and, therefore, effective combustion. Multiple fuel injections take place, depending on the driving style. of the combustion chamber by having the mixture prepared directly in the cylinder. This allows for a higher compression ratio (12.5:1) which helps to deliver more output along with enhanced engine efficiency. It has therefore been possible to reduce fuel consumption by up to 15% and CO2 emissions by up to 16%, depending on the type of gearbox. Injection is regulated by the electronic engine management system. The exhaust gas cleaning system ensures that emissions remain well below even the strict limits of the EU5 emission standard, thus helping to protect the environment.

In the evening we will make our way over to the world famous Hotel Burj Al Arab for a cocktail on the 54th floor Juna lounge before dining in the only underwater restaurant in Dubai, the Al Mahara.
Immaculate sports pedigree and a determination to raise the bar further. The desire never to stand
still coupled with the urge to constantly improve. This is hallmark Porsche. Even if that involves venturing off in unusual directions. At Porsche, we’re used to exploring new territory. Only this time with a different fuel. But with the same enduring spirit. In the past, none of the Porsche models came with a diesel engine. Until now that is. We’ve listened to what our customers have been telling us. And produced the new Porsche Cayenne. Built for drivers convinced of the virtues of diesel technology. And of Porsche, too.
Its 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine is powerful, refined and efficient. The figures speak for themselves: the smooth-running unit develops 176 kW (240 hp) and 550 Nm of torque. The new Porsche Cayenne Diesel accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 8.3 seconds. The impressive torque covers a wide engine speed range, with maximum torque available from as low as 2,000 rpm. Top speed is 214 km/h (133 mph). Fuel consumption in the ECE driving cycle comes in at 9.3 litres of diesel per 100 km (30.4 mpg). Remarkableefficiency and economy by any standard. Not only if you take the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel on a long motorway journey, but also if you are towing or faced with the everyday rigours of driving around town.
Direct fuel injection comes courtesy of a common-rail injection system. Injection pressure of up to 1,800 bar ensures effective mixture formation coupled with superior performance. The piezoelectric injection valves provide flexible injection rate adjustment, using exactly metered quantities of fuel, with multiple injections for each power stroke to deliver smooth combustion. The turbocharger on the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel features variable turbine geometry (VTG) a technology pioneered in the petrol-engined 911Turbo. The incoming exhaust gases drive a set of electronically variable turbine blades whose angle is continuously adjusted to ensure optimum performance under all engine loads. The result is far greater power and torque, even at low revs.
The new Porsche Cayenne combines Porsche and diesel to deliver high efficiency and low fuel consumption. The cooled exhaust-gas recirculation on the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel routes back part of the exhaust gas into the combustion process, resulting in lower peak combustion temperature and lower nitrogen oxide emissions. An oxidisation catalyst along with a diesel particle filter also forms an integral part of the process. And, of course, the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel meets the EU4 emissions standard, not to mention your expectations of a Porsche.
The standard Tiptronic S converts the high torque of the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel into acceleration with smoothness, efficiency and precision. Its gearshift maps range from maximum economy through to maximum performance. Depending on the driving style and current road conditions, it automatically One of the special features of Tiptronic S is standby control. When the car is stationary in an active gear position and the foot brake applied, the input clutch automatically disconnects the engine from the driveline, thereby reducing fuel consumption. Under heavy braking in ‘Sport’ mode, Tiptronic S quickly shifts down to maximise engine braking. An incline sensor enables better uphill acceleration and superior engine braking on descent.
The Porsche Hill Holder prevents the vehicle from rolling back, facilitating easy hill starts without having to use the brakes. High performance and high efficiency. On and off road. No less than you would expect from a Porsche Cayenne. selects the optimum gearshift pattern. The immediacy of response, with practically no interruption in drive, adds up to superbly dynamic performance. If you prefer, you can also change gear manually by using the rocker controls on the steering wheel or by nudging the gear selector lever.
The new Porsche Cayenne Diesel not only boasts outstanding performance and efficiency. Its steering is precise, its chassis sporty. Yet it doesn’t compromise on comfort or safety whatever the terrain. The standard Porsche Traction Management (PTM) – an intelligent permanent all-wheel drive system transmits the power from the new Cayenne Diesel to the road with optimum precision and control. PTM actively distributes engine torque precisely where it is needed. Thanks to the PTM low-range mode, where all gear ratios are reduced, the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel remains mobile in soft ground and performs better when towing a heavy trailer load.
The standard Porsche Stability Management (PSM) is an electronic control system to help stabilise
the vehicle (and trailer, if fitted) in hazardous road scenarios and to increase handling safety. In addition to anti-lock braking (ABS), PSM includes two other functions that help reduce braking distances: electronic brake prefill readies the braking system by increasing the pressure in the brake lines. The brake assist function then provides the required brake pressure to ensure maximum deceleration in the event of an emergency stop. Porsche Stability Management notably enhances handling safety. Air suspension featuring selflevelling, ride-height control and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is available as an option. The self-levelling facility maintains a constant ground clearance, regardless of vehicle load. With the ride-height control on the centre console, you can easily vary the ground clearance. The current ride-height setting is indicated in the instrument cluster and on a separate LED display on the centre console.
The optional PASM (only available in conjunction with air suspension) is an electronic damping control system. It offers continuous, active adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style, thus enhancing handling safety and ride comfort. The driver has a choice of three setup modes: ‘Comfort’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’. For extreme off-road use, there’s
the optional Off-road Technology package. As well as increasing underbody protection, it includes
an electronically variable rear differential. This differential can also be manually locked for the
toughest off-road conditions. The new Porsche Cayenne Diesel. A match for even the most difficult terrain with the comfort and safety typical of Porsche.
The performance of the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel is not only defined in terms of power and torque, but also in terms of economy and low emissions. The 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel boasts high compression ratios and excellent thermal efficiency. High efficiency means the higher energy density of diesel fuel compared with petrol can be utilised more effectively. The result is low fuel consumption and low emissions. Low particle emissions come courtesy of the exhaust emissions treatment system on the new Cayenne Diesel that includes exhaust gas recirculation, an oxidisation catalyst, and diesel particle filter that regenerates automatically in the background.
The smooth-running unit and silencer also ensure low noise emissions. When it comes to materials and recycling, sustainability takes priority at Porsche. Every Porsche is built to endure both technically and in terms of design. The lightweight exhaust on the Cayenne models, for example, is constructed from long-life stainless steel. Also, every Porsche model is entirely free of asbestos, CFCs and components manufactured using CFCs. All legal requirements in respect of recycling are met. Materials are labelled in accordance with VDA 260, enabling better recycling of end-of-life vehicles and individual parts and assemblies. While more than 85 % of the car can be repaired or recycled using current technologies, the chances are your new Cayenne may never need recycling at all. After all, two thirds of all the cars we have ever made are still on the road today. Ultimately, there’s no better way of saving valuable resources.
As you push performance to the limit, you need to throw your body and soul into it 110%. Particularly when it comes to the unforeseeable. Anything less would be irresponsible. That’s why the new Cayenne Diesel is prepared precisely for these eventualities. Porsche braking systems are renowned worldwide as the benchmark in performance and fade resistance. The brake discs on the
six-piston monobloc aluminium fixed calipers at the front and fourpiston equivalents at the rear measure 330 mm in diameter and are internally vented all round. This simple yet highly effective design ensures consistent brake performance thanks to improved cooling even when the car’s fully laden with five adult occupants, a full complement of luggage and a braked trailer load of up to 3,500 kg. All brake pads are fitted with individual wear sensors.
The brake lines serving each of the rear calipers feature special off-road protection against rocks and other debris. Additional protection comes courtesy of full-size airbags for driver and front passenger and a side impact protection system featuring a thorax airbag in each front seat. Curtain-type airbags on each side of the roof provide extensive head protection for both rows of seats. They are not only deployed during a side impact, but also if the rollover detection system determines the car is likely to overturn. The seat belts on the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel feature seat-belt pre-tensioners (front and outer rear seats) and force limiters (front seats only). The front passenger seat and outer rear seats are also equipped with ISOFIX mounting points for compatible child seats. If a child seat is mounted on the front passenger seat, the corresponding airbag can be quickly deactivated using a key-operated switch. Our ongoing development of the lightweight steel body provides a major contribution to safety. The result is high rigidity combined with consistent deformation properties and exceptional body strength.
The character of the new Cayenne Diesel is apparent at first glance: accomplished, athletic, brimming
with energy and potential. A genuine Porsche no less. The front-end design features H7 projector-beam headlights. Their flattened headlight geometry gives a broader look to the car. This is
complimented further by the large air intake openings for optimum cooling. The flared wheel arches emphasise the athleticism of the new Cayenne Diesel. The rear section also alludes to the powerful capability of the car. LED taillights and brake lights plus Porsche. integrated matt-silver single-tube
tailpipes add a distinctive finishing touch. Running boards with integrated skid plates and the
SportDesign package are available as an option. The package includes an extended roof spoiler with fixed bi-plane profile finished in the chosen exterior colour.
Using the standard roof rails, the new Cayenne Diesel can be equipped with an optional roof transport system. It is compatible with all the usual load-carrying attachments available from Porsche Tequipment e.g. ski/snowboard carriers and roof boxes. All load-bearing parts are designed for a maximum load of 100 kg. The optional roof rails can also be combined with a set of transverse roof bars from Porsche Tequipment, offering a maximum load of 75 kg. Further information can be obtained in the Tequipment Porsche Cayenne catalogue or from your Porsche Centre. The preparation for an optional towbar system comes as standard. For the largest of loads, you can choose from two towing options: an electrically retractable towbar system or a manually detachable towbar. With the electric system, the ball neck can be retracted beneath the rear apron all at the push of a button. Both options have a maximum braked trailer load of 3,500 kg (with a maximum noseweight of 140 kg) and come with a 13-pole socket. In short: a powerful first impression, inside and out, that is also enduringly Porsche.
