Cayenne – Automobiles Review

Porsche Cayenne

Porsche has made significant improvements to its luxury SUV, the Cayenne, with a new digital display and control system, advanced chassis technology, and cutting-edge features. Michael Schätzle, the Vice President of Product Line Cayenne, calls it one of the most comprehensive product upgrades in Porsche’s history. The Cayenne now features HD Matrix LED Headlights that adjust to different driving situations, an air quality system that cleanses the interior air, and a new infotainment display for front passengers to stream videos. With its upgraded design and more powerful engines, the Cayenne aims to be the sportiest car in its segment.

Porsche Driver Experience

Porsche has updated the display and control concept in the new Cayenne, with a focus on the driver’s axis and optimising operation. The lever behind the steering wheel has additional functions for operating the driver assistance systems, and the automatic transmission selector lever is on the dashboard. The cockpit includes a fully digital 12.6-inch instrument cluster with variable display options, an optimised head-up display, and a 12.3-inch central Porsche Communication Management display. There is also a 10.9-inch display for the passenger side, which provides access to the infotainment system controls and the option of streaming video content on the road.

Refined design

The new Cayenne boasts an eye-catching appearance, featuring a redesigned front end, more pronounced wings, a new hood, and technically advanced headlights, all highlighting the vehicle’s width. The rear end of the Cayenne has three-dimensional taillights, clean surfaces, and a new rear apron with an integrated number plate holder. The new colour palette includes three new colours, and the car comes with a range of 20, 21, and 22-inch wheels, allowing for individual configuration.

The new Cayenne is equipped with standard Matrix LED Headlights, with the HD Matrix LED Headlights being an optional feature. These lights are innovative with over 32,000 pixels per headlamp, and their advanced technology picks out other users on the road and blocks the high beam to prevent dazzling. The brightness of the modules can be regulated in over 1,000 steps depending on the driving situation.

The new Cayenne now features an air quality system that detects tunnel entrances and automatically activates air recirculation, and a sensor that detects the level of fine dust particles in the air and filters it if necessary. An ioniser removes germs and pollutants, providing benefits for allergy sufferers.

Additionally, the new Cayenne is equipped with a comprehensive range of new and improved assistance systems, including the active speed limiter, swerve assist, cornering assist, and Porsche InnoDrive as part of the adaptive cruise control, making it even safer in hazardous situations and traffic jams on motorways and main roads.

Make the range between ride comfort and performance higher.

Porsche has now made available for the Cayenne a steel spring suspension that comes with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) as a standard feature. The shock absorbers of the new suspension have two valves, which allow for separate rebound and compression stages and better performance in all driving situations. The comfort, handling and support during cornering, pitch, and roll have also been improved. Porsche offers an adaptive air suspension with two-chamber, two-valve technology that further enhances the driving experience. This improves the suspension characteristics, vehicle stability, on-road, and off-road handling compared to both the standard suspension and the previous model. Additionally, the adaptive air suspension enhances driving precision, performance, and reduces body movements during dynamic driving. The suspension has three driving modes to choose from: Normal, Sport, and Sport Plus.

The new hybrid model boasts increased power and a range of up to 90 kilometers on electric power.

The new Cayenne has three engine versions in Europe. The V6 engine in the previous Cayenne S has been replaced with a refined four-litre V8 biturbo engine. It has a maximum output of 349 KW (474 PS) and a torque of 600 Nm, which is 25 kW (34 PS) and 50 Nm more than its predecessor. It accelerates both the SUV and the SUV Coupé to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and has a top speed of 273 km/h. The entry-level Cayenne has a three-litre V6 turbo engine that generates 260 kW (353 PS) and 500 Nm, which is 10 kW (13 PS) and 50 Nm more than before.

The Cayenne E-Hybrid’s powertrain is based on the six-cylinder engine, paired with a new electric motor that has been enhanced by 30 kW to 130 kW (176 PS). This leads to an increased combined output of 346 kW (470 PS). The E-Hybrid has a high-voltage battery that has been expanded from 17.9 kWh to 25.9 kWh, which enables a purely electric range of up to 90 kilometres according to WLTP. The new 11 kW on-board charger shortens the charging time to less than two and a half hours, regardless of the increased battery capacity. Additionally, the optimized e-hybrid driving modes increase the efficiency of the vehicle during the trip.

In most Porsche markets outside the EU, the Turbo GT is the top model in the Cayenne range, specifically designed for maximum on-road performance. It comes exclusively as a coupe and incorporates all the optimizations and innovations of the series. The four-liter V8 biturbo engine of the Turbo GT now delivers an increased output of 485 kW (659 PS) with an additional 14 kW (19 PS). With this power, the Cayenne Turbo GT can go from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds, with a top speed of 305 km/h.

Porsche BlackBox Cayenne

Nebulus Porsche Cayenne by BLACK BOX-RICHTER

Magnificent, unique, and literally damn fast: The Porsche Cayenne from the lifestyle brand Nebulus is a very special vehicle. Nebulus’ motto is to offer customers Nebulus branded clothing at a fair price. Independent, eye-catching design, high-quality standards, and perfect customer service have top priority at Nebulus. An owner-managed company from Lower Bavaria with a sense of fashion and lifestyle. The Nebulus brand was launched 13 years ago and is loved by millions of customers around the world.

Black Box-Richter in Schardenberg, Austria, and their owner Mingo RICHTER are known for truly unusual kinds of adhesive vinyl wraps. In cooperation with HGP Turbo Retrofitting and 811 design, a Porsche Cayenne from Nebulus was both performance-enhanced and perfectly wrapped in vinyl foil. The Black Box Richter team has now given the object of desire – the Porsche Cayenne – a new design.

In order to increase performance, the product range of HGP Turbo in Ohmden was utilized. After adjusting the engine control and removing the Vmax limitation, a large-volume air filter box, and a sports air filter insert was installed, each with “HGP-turbo” lettering. Interested observers will find large-volume intake hoses (in blue or black) as well as intake manifolds with an enlarged cross-section in front of the turbochargers. The series turbochargers were processed in such a way that larger turbine shafts and the same compressor wheels were installed. Reinforced thrust bearings and enlarged turbocharger inputs have been added as well. The boost pressure sensors have also been changed. All of this, of course, with the approval of the TÜV. The vehicle’s diagnostic capability remains intact, and the manufacturer cannot overwrite it. On request, the performance increase to 962 hp (= 707 kW) and 1.250 Nm can be retrofitted at any time.

Finally, the full vinyl wrapping requires special mention. First of all, the basic color white metallic glossy was completely wrapped in the PWF special color Obsidian black matte. After that, an additional layer of Ruby-red vinyl was applied with a line layout in different thicknesses. The cross-component accuracy of the bonding was of utmost importance in order to achieve a harmonious overall picture. The design was created by Hajo LEMKEs at 811 design in Erftstadt. It requires about a week to complete this type of adhesive vinyl wrapping.

Now all one has to do is call, make an appointment, optimize and drive off and experience the Cayenne driving pleasure. True to the motto: power, performance, design, and pure fun!

TECHART Magnum is Back and it’s More Beautiful and Powerful than Ever!

TECHART Magnum Front View TECHART Magnum is a project based on the Porsche Cayenne famous for its uniqueness. Now it is back, more powerful and looking as good as hell! Almost everything has been renewed, starting from the design to the output rating. So let’s check it out!

Magnificent Exterior

At the front of the new design of the Magnum we see firmly shaped surfaces. The side air intakes, the bumper and the front spoiler have the typical TECHART shape. The design of the front apron and the splitter optically reduce the height of the car and create an impression for wider appearance, which is further emphasized via wheel arch extensions and side skirts.

The central radiator grill merges with the side air intakes, while the “Airframes” feature in-house made daytime running lights. Regarding the Aero Engine Lid, it is made of carbon fiber and incorporates two air outlets.

The back of the Magnum is defined by side air outlets that mimic the Airframes of the front apron. In addition, the rear diffusor plays significant role in the design. TECHART sports tailpipes were integrated in the Magnum rear apron. At last, we should also mention the addition of the impressive roof spoiler. TECHART is also offering a wide variety of differently sized unique wheels and tires combinations.

More Core Features

TECHART Magnum Rear View

We are talking about the Magnum bodykit. To make an important instance, the air intakes are not just a styling feature, but a functional one, too. The front apron reveals the ducts and air passages which guide the cooling air and dissipates the heat optimally. Water coolers, intercoolers, braking systemor contribute for well-balanced aerodynamics.

Powerkits and Improved Performance

There are three TECHART engine powerkits available for the Cayenne Magnum. The first one increases the horses with 35 hp (26 kW) and comes for the TA058/SD1 for Cayenne S Diesel; the second with 80 hp (59 kW) for the TA058/T1 for Cayenne Turbo; and the third with 180 hp (132 kW) for the TA058/T2 for Cayenne Turbo again.

As a matter of fact the latter powerkit increases the engine power of the Cayenne Turbo from standard 520 hp to 700 hp, while the maximum torque is increased from 750 Nm to 920 Nm. The Magnum based on the Cayenne Turbo can actually sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.1 seconds. The top track speed is 295 km/h.

MANSORY Uprates Porsche Cayenne Turbo S to 620HP via Simple Plug & Play

MANSORY Porsche Cayenne Turbo S looks devilish in this red and black dual-tone outfit. It is a true instance of luxury and class, isn’t it? This is not only because of its undisputable visual characteristics, but also because its ability to produce 550 hp (405 lb-ft) and 750 Nm (554 lb-ft) of torque. Wait … there is a hint here. These horses are only if the car is with the stock output. If this is so, then the model can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 283 km/h.

Vigorous Power

However, the Cayenne here has been fitted with power enhancements, which give it even more force that the production one. Even MANSORY call the new horsepower capability of the Porsche “vigorous”. The reason for this is that the experts have developed and integrated an additional engine control unit.

This additional element can be actually fitted to both Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S supercharged engines. The result is impressive and it is an extra of 50 horsepower.

MANSORY Powerbox

Via simple Plug & Play process a special Powerbox is fitted. And this is where the magic happens. The V8 under the hood of the Cayenne Turbo, which initially has the 520 hp (382 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 750 Nm (554 lb-ft) between 2.250-4.000 rpm, is now capable of pumping out 570 hp (419kW) at 6.000 rpm and 830Nm (613 lb-ft) between the same as the standard rpm range.

Of course, these enhancements also result in better acceleration time. The Cayenne Turbo needs only 4.1 seconds to cover the 0-100km/h sprint. In comparison, the standard time is 4.5 seconds.

After the power enhancements, the MANSORY Cayenne Turbo S is now capable of 620 hp (456 kW) at 6.000 rpm and 870 Nm (642 lb-ft) between 2.500-4.000 rpm. Due to this performance optimization, the time needed for the sprint from standstill to 100 km/h is mere 3.8 seconds.

Porsche Macan and Cayenne Receive TECHART Air Suspension Module

TECHART is a company known for its fantastic work on Porsche models. Now it is releasing a special Air Suspension “Sport” module for the Macan and Cayenne models. When equipped with it the vehicle will benefit of sportier driving dynamics, enhance athletic looks and greater comfortability. The module has the capability of lowering the vehicles up to 22 mm, depending on the model.

To go into details, the exclusive feature is an added function which has been praised since it was revealed on company’s plug-in systems for previous Porsche models with air suspension. There are several modes of adjustment, that offer more direct and agile ride height levels.

The Macan can be lowered by 10mm in Normal Level, while the Sport Plus mode and the Low Level bring the vehicle closer to the ground with 20 mm. The Terrain Level is that one which has been kept the same as the standard level.

What is more, there is even a Loading level that allows for easier loading of the luggage compartment. In this mode, the rear end of the Macan can be lowered even more in order to achieve the added comfort.

The height of the chassis of the Cayenne, when equipped with this feature, can be reduced by 22 mm in Normal Level and by 10 mm in Low Level.

At last, the specialists have developed the unique Automatic Parking Level feature for both Porsche models. How does it work? After locking the vehicle, the body is automatically lowered by another 30 mm or 20 mm, in case of the Macan and Cayenne, respectively. As a result, both get a one-off appearance, which distinguishes them from the standard series models.

Cayenne and Cayenne GTS Debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show

Porsche premiered two new Cayennes, Cayenne and Cayenne GTS, which are slightly more compelling than their predecessors.

Porsche Reveals Updated 2015 Cayenne Range

The key characteristics of the 2015 Porsche Cayenne Range have been just announced. The new Cayenne has an updated and sharper design, enhanced efficiency and offers wide range of standard equipment features. The new generation of this Porsche model will be launched in five versions: Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Diesel, Cayenne Turbo and Cayenne S E-Hybrid. The latter is the first plug-in hybrid offered in the premium SUV segment.

Another interesting fact around the 2015 Cayenne S is that its new 3.6-litre V6 bi-turbo engine was fully developed by the company. All in all, each powertrain that drives the new generation models show enhanced performance and efficiency figures. The improved efficiency is due to modifications to the entire drivetrain, the advanced ‘Auto Stop/Start Plus’ function and the optimized thermal management.

The unit is coupled with a standard eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, thanks to which the Cayenne S accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds (5.4 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package).The top speed is 161 mph.

The third model under our attention is the Cayenne Turbo, which is powered by the 4.8-litre engine with eight-cylinders and twin turbochargers. It has the ability to generate 520 hp (382 kW) at 6,000 rpm and torque of 750 Nm (555 lb-ft) from 2,250 to 4,000 rpm. More power and torque means faster acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h, which in this case is rated at 4.5 seconds (4.4 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package). The top speed here is 173 mph, while the fuel consumption is rated between 25.2 to 24.5 mpg and the CO2 emissions between 261-267 g/km.

The torque of this Diesel version is 580 Nm (428 lb-ft) from 1,750 to 2,500 rpm. Powered by this engine the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds (7.2 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package), and has a top speed of 137 mph.

Cayenne S Diesel is powered by the 4.2-litre V8 engine, which generates 385 hp (283 kW) at 3,750 rpm and torque of 850 Newton metres (627 lb-ft) from 2,000 to 2,750 rpm. It delivers fuel consumption of 35.3 mpg and CO2 emissions of 209 g/km. From a standstill it reaches 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds (5.3 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package) on its way to a top speed of 156 mph.

More update in the 2015 Cayenne range include chassis tuning. In this way the new SUV will deliver more comfort and sporting responsiveness. The exterior appearance of the car was also refined and now exudes sharper design with precise lines and purposefully-placed angles. To be more precise, entirely new are the design of the front body, the front wheel arches, the bonnet and the airblades in the nose.

The designers have kept the emblematic for the model bi-Xenon headlights, characterized by four-point LED daytime running lights. They come standard in the Cayenne and Cayenne S models. The Turbo version is further emphasised by LED headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) fitted as standard.

At the rear one can also see new styling treatment. The design of the rear lights creates a three-dimensional effect, and the brake lights include four distinctive elements. In addition, the number plate recess, boot handle and lights have new design which allows integrating them more elegantly into the tailgate. The designers also re-shaped the horizontal lines of the SUV, the exhaust tailpipes which are now integrated in the lower rear section, and also added an automatically opening/closing tailgate as a standard.

The interior of the car is also changed. For instance, the driver gets a new multi-function sports steering wheel with gear shift paddles as standard. The rear seating system is now more comfortable, and seat ventilation can now be ordered as an option.
