Porsche Driver Experience

A Porsche stands for personal lived experience. The Porsche Driver Experience display and control concept gives new expression to this conviction: with new steering wheels that also integrate the operation of the assistance systems and other modes. With an engine start/stop button that sits where the ignition lock was traditionally found in a Porsche. And with a fully digital instrument cluster. For more focus on driving.

Instrument Cluster

Typically Porsche driver-oriented in the style of the new Porsche Driver Experience: The digital instrument cluster with a 12.65-inch curved display places the displays concisely in the field of vision. Various display formats can be selected: typical round instruments, map section in the central round instrument, full area navigation map, reduced view and the optional view with Night Vision Assist in the center.

Front Passenger Display

While the instrument cluster and the central display are tailored to the driver's seat, the optional 10.9-inch touchscreen display is on the passenger side. It provides access to navigation and infotainment functions, among others. It can provide assistance with route planning as well as insight into the data of the instrument cluster. With the optional in-car video, videos can be streamed on the front passenger display while driving - which are only visible to the front passenger.

4.0-Liter Twin Turbo V8 Engine in the Cayenne S

The Cayenne S is powered by a newly developed 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with a maximum power output of 468 hp and a drag torque of 442 lb-ft. V8 engines stand for exceptional power output, torque, low-vibration operation and a characteristic sound.

Chassis

Whether you're in the driver's seat or a passenger: driving a Porsche should feel like a sport while still offering great comfort. The Cayenne models manage this balancing act effortlessly thanks to the enhanced chassis and technologies that adapt the chassis even better to the intended use, such as off-road use. Examples include the adaptive air suspension, the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) for active roll stabilization and the rear-axle steering.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is an electronic damping control system that is standard on all Cayenne models. It actively and continuously controls the damping force according to the road conditions and driving mode. For reduced body movements and more comfort for all seats. Four settings are available: "Normal", "Sport", "Sport Plus", and "Off-road".

The enhanced adaptive air suspension with full load-bearing air-spring struts in 2-chamber technology allows for an even greater combination of comfort and sportiness while at the same time maintaining the same ride comfort. The level system helps to maintain a constant ride height. By adjusting the height of the chassis, the ground clearance can be varied as required, for example during off-road use. The rear end can also be lowered for easier loading of the luggage compartment.

Brakes

All Cayenne models are equipped with a brake system with six-piston aluminum monobloc fixed calipers at the front and four-piston aluminum monobloc fixed calipers at the rear. The one-piece, closed construction results in a very high dimensional stability. The pressure point is precise and the braking distance is impressively short.
