Porsche is adding the Performance Start function to the 2015 Cayenne diesel (as effectively as the 2015 Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo) as part of the optional Sport Chrono package.
Although Overall performance Begin is not a complete-bore launch-handle system like the a single utilized to slingshot PDK-equipped 911s, Boxsters, and Caymans toward the horizon, it does permit the driver to launch the Cayenne from rest at wide-open throttle right after side-stepping the brake pedal. Porsche claims that Performance Start shaves .1 second from the Cayenne’s zero-to-60 time. And as if getting a compression-ignition Porsche SUV weren’t oddball enough, the gadget also signifies that model joins the really, extremely little roster of production diesel vehicles with similar technology. (Our extended-term BMW 328d wagon has launch manage, for instance.)
Here’s how it operates: The driver pushes the Sport Plus button on the center console. With the Cayenne stopped and the 8-speed automatic in drive, the driver presses the brake pedal and floors the accelerator pedal. A dash telltale indicates that Performance Begin has been initiated. Inside 2 seconds, the driver side-measures the brake pedal and with the accelerator nevertheless matted, the Cayenne launches in what Porsche describes as the “most efficient manner attainable.” This involves extraquick 1-2 and 2-3 upshifts, occurring at the optimal engine speed to leverage the powerplant’s peak power and torque.
No muss and no fuss, and the compression-ignition Cayenne pulls a wicked holeshot. At Porsche, it appears even the frugal get to have some enjoyable.
