World premiere of the new Cayenne in Zuffenhausen

Porsche held a spectacular #event on Tuesday in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen to unveil the new #cayenne. The third generation of the successful model, more than 760,000 units of which have been sold since 2002, is a completely new development. The vehicle will combine even more of the typical #porsche performance with excellent everyday practicality. Despite its extended standard equipment, the #cayenne is up to 65 kilograms lighter thanks to its intelligent lightweight construction. At launch, two turbocharged six-cylinder petrol engines will be available, with 250 kW (340 hp) in the #cayenne and 324 kW (440 hp) in the #cayennes. The #cayennes has a top speed of 265 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under five seconds.

“We have completely redeveloped our successful model. It has been visibly and tangibly improved and perfected in all respects. The #cayenne has also been digitalised and networked throughout to give it a forward-thinking design”, says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board at #porsche AG.

Porsche has also enhanced the look of the #cayenne significantly: “Our primary objective was to accentuate the character of the vehicle. More #porsche, more #cayenne. The new #cayenne is more precise, elegant, athletic and expressive”, says Michael Mauer, Director of Style at #porsche AG, who unveiled the style of the new #cayenne alongside Peter Varga (Director Exterior Design) and Ivo van Hulten (Director Interior Design).

The first appearance of the new #cayenne at the #porsche Museum was accompanied by “Sinfonie des Lebens” (Symphony of Life), a piece composed by Jesse Milliner and performed by the Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague and the wind ensemble from the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, a partner of #porsche. The symphony was complemented by dancers, live musicians and an elaborate light show.

The third generation of the #suv is a completely new development. Its powerful turbo engines, new eight-speed Tiptronic S gearbox, new chassis systems and innovative #porsche Advanced Cockpit display and control concept with total connectivity will take both sport and comfort to the next level. At launch, there are two newly developed six-cylinder engines to choose from: The Cayenne’s 250-kW (340 hp), three-litre turbo engine delivers 29 kW (40 hp) more than the previous model. The 2.9-litre V6 biturbo engine in the #cayennes, which reaches speeds of up to 265 km/h, brings it up to 324 kW (440 hp) – an increase of 15 kW (20 hp). Equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package, the new #cayennes accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in less than five seconds. The new #cayenne is based heavily on the iconic 911 sports car: For the first time, the #suv features mixed tyres and rear-axle steering. In addition, the on-road capabilities are further improved by active all-wheel drive as standard, #porsche 4D Chassis Control, three-chamber air suspension, the #porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) electronic roll stabilisation system and the newly developed, high-performance #porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB). Despite its extended standard equipment, the #cayenne weighs up to 65 kilograms less than its predecessor and remains perfectly suited to off-road use.

The new #cayenne is available to order now, with prices starting at EUR 74,828 in Germany. Prices for the #cayennes begin at EUR 91,964 – each including VAT and country-specific features.

The #porsche Museum is exploring the historical influences on the development of the #cayenne in its special exhibition “New tracks. Every destination. Always #porsche.” The exhibition, which also showcases the new model, is open until February 25, 2018.
