As befits a premium car, the Porsche Cayenne braking system is one of the best. As standard, the crossover is equipped with cast iron brake discs. As an option, they propose to install Porsche Surface Coated Brakes, made of cast iron with a special tungsten carbide coating. Finally, they offer the most expensive and most effective carbon-ceramic ones.
In addition to the choice of brake discs for Porsche Cayenne, the manufacturer also offers to choose the color of the caliper. It can be painted in the body color or the bright color chosen by the buyer. It is also possible to additionally place the inscription of the brand and model, the logo of the company or even an individual order.

The lenses are arranged in a cross, the central lens is larger, but the other 4 lenses are smaller in the corners.
Top-end configurations of the Porsche Cayenne crossover will acquire matrix optics with intelligent high-beam control. It is enough for the driver to switch the light control selector to the automatic state, then the system will do everything for you. In automatic mode, a certain high-beam sector will be turned off (dimmed), thereby excluding the option to blind the oncoming vehicle.
