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.
