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.
