3 Power Transmission

General

The new Cayenne models use a 6-speed manual transmission (standard for Cayenne) and an 8-speed Tiptronic S (standard for Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, optional for Cayenne). All Cayenne models are equipped with the new Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive. On the Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo, the power is transferred via an active all-wheel drive with electronically and map-controlled multiple-disc clutch.

Numerous measures to reduce the weight along the rest of the drivetrain were possible following the introduction of the new PTM. The use of lightweight cardan shafts and lighter axle transmissions on the front and rear axles together with the omission of the reduction gear reduced the overall vehicle weight by approximately 86 lbs. (39 kg). The measures performed on the drivetrain made a decisive contribution to reducing the overall weight of all Cayenne models.
