The Porsche Cayenne Turbo is based on the pneumatic chassis with a system of active suspension (PASM - Porsche Action Suspension Management). This can be upgraded with a new system of dynamic stabilizer (PDCC - Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control). The system is also available for other models. Limits of tilting and balancing are improved in all driving situations. Cayenne offers big improvements in handling, stability and comfort.
The Porsche Stability Management (PSM) is a system that helps in braking; a next generation stability system and off-road ABS are standard in all Cayenne models. These functions improve reactions of brakes, reduce yawing and optimize brake performance in the exterior.
