You’re able to state the Sport Chrono Pack and this drops 0.3sec from the above 0-62mph sprints. It includes Sport, Sport+, Individual drive modes with connected tweaking of the car’s character to suit.
There’s also a disconnected constancy control map to enable the driver to ‘utilise the new Cayenne’s full driving dynamics.’
What is new on the new 2018 Cayenne?
The entire car’s been revamped and measures 63mm longer and 9mm lower, yet retains the same wheelbase as before. The boot’s grown 100 litres to a substantial 770.
It also uses staggered alloys for the first time (25mm wider at the rear than the front), which the firm asserts will highlight ‘the enhanced driving dynamics’.
These sit in front of tungsten carbide-coated brake discs (also optional) that apparently offer a near-mythical cocktail of long life, low brake wear and less dust on your wheels to boot.
We’ll consider that while we test it. Carbon-ceramic brakes are still an alternative at the top of the range for those creative enough to believe using their Cayenne on the race track.
As with most modern family cars, the suite of driver aid tech is vast. Expect:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Active lane-keeping
- Traffic sign recognition
- Automatic parking
- Adaptive cruise control
- Night vision using a thermal imaging camera
Multimedia duties are managed by a 12.3-inch touch screen and the very same Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system as in the current Panamera.
You too can get an analogue tacho flanked by a pair of 7.0-inch screens as an instrument panel and a multifunction steering wheel to give you a fighting possibility of scheming the myriad electric systems efficiently.
Sound systems from Bose and Burmester will be on hand to charge you even more money in elective extras, as there’s even a system that uses the surround view camera to film your off-roading escapades to perk up your talent. That’s assuming any Cayennes make it out of the suburbs and onto the rough stuff, of course…
