The magic starts with an aluminum-steel composite chassis, which makes for a lightweight yet incredibly rigid platform. Braking comes courtesy of 4-piston aluminum calipers on internally vented and cross-drilled discs, with pad wear sensors on each corner. Interior of the Cayenne has excellent ergonomics, plus the newest Porsche Communication Management (PCM) that underlies everything from cell phone integration and audio interfaces to optional navigation with real-traffic updates, Google Street View and Apple Car Play. The electric roadster top features a wind deflector and heated glass rear window and can be operated at speeds up to 31 mph. The Cayenne is powered by one of two engines, a turbocharged 3L V6 that produces 348 horsepower or a 4L twin turbo V8 that produces 468 or 650 horsepower both mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The base Cayenne features a dual exhaust, a rear spoiler, power liftgate, heated power folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals, LED headlights, 20-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, driver seat memory, automatic dual-zone climate control, an HD satellite radio, a 10-speaker sound system, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, voice activated navigation, a mobile hotspot, wireless device connectivity and charging, 4 USB ports, push button start, 12.6-inch gauge cluster, and a leather steering wheel. The Turbo GT trim adds an air ride auto-leveling suspension, a titanium exhaust, ceramic cross drilled brakes with painted calipers, larger brakes, carbon fibre exterior accents, cornering lights, 22-inch wheels, heated rear seats, ambient interior lights, and a heated sport steering wheel. Standard safety features include front and rear parking sensors, active lane departure, blind spot warning, forward collision mitigation, front pedestrian detection, and a traffic sign information system.
