The All New 2011 Cayenne S Hybrid | Honolulu, HI 96813
Porsche Performance Mixed With Fuel Efficiency
Since the company was founded in 1948, Porsche has always gone their own way. This is the hallmark of their independent spirit. Only thus can they continue to meet their high performance standards. And yours. For the new Cayenne S Hybrid, they chose a highly sophisticated technical concept, as they felt that this would perfectly embody the key principle of an alternative drive: efficiency.
The new Cayenne S Hybrid offers all the advantages of a hybrid. And all the performance advantages of a Porsche.

Engine & Performance
The new parallel full hybrid system on the new Cayenne S Hybrid combines a 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 engine and an electric motor. The engine delivers 333 horsepower, while the electric motor generates 47 horsepower. Working in tandem, they produce a total output of 380 horsepower and maximum torque of 428 lb.-ft. The top track speed is 150 mph, with acceleration from 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds.
Under moderate acceleration, the electric motor can power the vehicle independently. The electric motor can also be used to recuperate energy during braking and charge the battery. In addition, the electric motor can be used to boost performance - for faster acceleration, particularly when pulling away.
Fuel Economy
The hybrid system in the new Cayenne S Hybrid features a high-voltage nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery consisting of 240 cells. It provides the electric motor with the energy required for the vehicle to drive short distances solely on electric power.
The compact battery is located under the cargo floor in the cargo area. Weighing 176 pounds, its dimensions are 16.8 in. x 36.4 in. x 11.3 in.
Parallel full hybrid system
The battery is designed to last without the need for any maintenance over its lifetime. The electric motor also functions as a generator, so it can charge the battery under certain conditions: when the gasoline engine is in part-throttle mode, and through energy recovery during braking.
The hybrid system also brings significant advantages when not driving in city traffic. The vehicle can simply "coast" along many stretches of road without any power at all.
The Cayenne S Hybrid also has another unique feature: the Auto Start Stop function. Here's how it works: Say, for example, you are stopped at a traffic light with your foot on the brake pedal. The Auto Start Stop function will automatically turn off the engine. But not everything stops: All audio and communication systems remain switched on, and the standard climate control continues to maintain the selected temperature. Although the engine is not running, the only change you'll perceive is peace and quiet, and, thanks to greater fuel economy, peace of mind. Remove your foot from the brake and the engine instantly returns to life.
Together with the Auto Start Stop function and the ability to "coast", the parallel full hybrid offers exceptional levels of efficiency without sacrificing performance.

Safety
Auto Headlights
The headlights are automatically switched on when darkness sets in or when driving through a tunnel in the daytime. Other features include an automatic switch-off and ?Welcome Home? function?when you arrive at a destination after dark, the headlights remain illuminated for a user-defined period, lighting your path from the car.
Braking System
Porsche is known for the powerful acceleration of its sports cars. But the incredible stopping power engineered into every Porsche is equally well-known. Equipped with new braking systems, the new Cayenne models advance the science of stopping. The larger brakes offer excellent deceleration?even when the vehicle is loaded with five adult occupants, a full complement of luggage and a braked trailer load of up to 7,716 pounds.
Also, available as an option on all new Cayenne modles is the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). PCCB enables shorter braking distances. The pedal response is fast and precise with only moderate input required. The key advantage of PCCB is a total weight savings of approximately 50 percent compared with that of equivalent cast-iron discs. By lightening the unsprung and rotating masses, you increase the handling agility and ride comfort, and reduce fuel consumption.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
Porsche Stability Management (PSM) is an electronic control system that uses a range of functions?including an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)?to help stabilize the vehicle in hazardous road scenarios. Throughout each journey, sensors monitor the direction, speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration of the car. Using this information, it is possible to calculate the actual direction of travel at any given moment. If the vehicle begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM applies selective braking on individual wheels to help restore stability. If necessary, PSM can also intervene in the engine management system to temporarily modify the amount of drive transmitted to the wheels.
