For better stopping power the Purosangue’s standard brake rotors are larger than those on the Cayenne:

For better traction and acceleration, the Purosangue has larger rear tires than the Cayenne (315/30R23 vs. 275/50R19).

The Purosangue’s 255/35R22 front and 315/30R23 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Cayenne’s standard 55 series front and 50 series rear tires.
