Off road
Applying power with sensitivity, protecting with strength. Off-road Technology package.
Available as a factory-fitted option on all Cayenne models, the Off-road Technology package* incorporates an electronically variable and lockable rear differential as part of the standard all-wheel drive system. Other features include high-strength rock-rails with integrated skid plates, a reinforced engine-bay guard, enhanced protection for the fuel tank and rear axle, and a second towing lug.
The rear differential enables optimum distribution of engine torque in difficult off-road terrain.
In low-range mode, the rear differential can be manually locked using the main off-road control on the centre console.
A fully automated part of the all-wheel system, its primary function is to optimise traction. If one of the rear wheels begins to lose grip, the differential varies the torque transmitted through each drive shaft, thereby restoring traction.
In this state, both rear wheels receive the same amount of torque.
For additional off-road protection, optional wheel-arch extensions (black finish) and running boards* with integrated skid plates are available.
* Not available for the Cayenne GTS.

The Cayenne Turbo comes with Bi-Xenon headlights featuring dynamic range control and integrated cleaning, as well as
then calculates the optimum angle of illumination for the swivelmounted Bi-Xenon lights up to a maximum of 15°. The discs are made from a specially treated carbon-fibre compound that is silicated in a high-vacuum process at 1, 700 ºC. The resulting material is not only much harder than cast iron, it is also more resistant to heat.
Excellent fade resistance ensures greater balance when slowing from high speed.
Even at high temperatures, the thermal resistance of the PCCB disc ensures excellent dimensional stability. The ceramic material is totally resistant to corrosion and offers excellent acoustic damping properties. The pads are mounted in sixpiston monobloc aluminium fixed calipers at the front, with fourpiston units at the rear. The resulting brake forces are not only high, they are also extremely

Expecting the best means preparing for the worst. Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
All Cayenne models are equipped with Porsche Stability Management (PSM) as standard. This electronic control system uses a range of functions including anti-lock braking (ABS) to help stabilise the vehicle (and trailer, if fitted) in hazardous road scenarios. Throughout each journey, PSM uses a range of sensors to monitor the direction, speed, yaw velocity (speed of
rotation around the vertical axis) and lateral acceleration of the car. If the car begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM applies selective braking on individual wheels to restore stability. If necessary, PSM can also intervene in the engine management system to temporarily modify the amount of drive to the wheels.
PSM has two additional functions that help reduce braking distances. If the throttle pedal is released suddenly, PSM automatically readies the braking system. [. . . ] Find out more at www. porsche. com/classic.
