The
Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia is a special edition model for
2009.
The Transsyberia model was created to celebrate the multiple
wins and podium finishes for the rally model Cayenne in the
intercontinental race from Moscow to the Mongolian Capital of
Ulan Bator about 7,200 kilometres (4,460 miles) away.
Like the extra-robust rally model, the road-going Porsche Cayenne
Transsyberia is also based on the Cayenne S with its 4.8-litre
V8 naturally-aspirated power unit featuring highly economical
and efficient Direct Fuel Injection. The big difference, however,
is that the new Transsyberia comes with the high-performance
power unit carried over from the Cayenne GTS, developing 405
bhp (298 kW) at 6,500 rpm and maximum torque of 500 Newton-metres
(369 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm.
In conjunction with the final drive likewise carried over from
the Cayenne GTS but shortened by 15 per cent to 4.1:1, the Cayenne
S Transsyberia offers an even higher level of performance. With
the six-speed manual gearbox featured as standard, acceleration
to 100 km/h comes in just 6.1 seconds, another 0.5 seconds faster
than the Cayenne S.
The Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia comes as standard with air
suspension including PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management
for electronic adjustment of the damper system: As a function
of driving conditions and the drivers personal style of motoring,
PASM actively and continuously adjusts damper forces, also reducing
body dive in the process.
Self-levelling ensures consistent ride height at all times,
while at the same time enabling the driver to vary ground clearance
as a function of current requirements. PTM Porsche Traction
Management distributes engine torque actively, depending on
driving conditions, between the front and rear axle. In the
basic mode 62 per cent of the engines power goes to the rear
wheels, 38 per cent to the front.
