Hi,
Porsche calls it a
Retaining Cable, while Bentley calls it a
Passenger Safety Cable.
In either case, it is looped through a receiver, which is bolted to the Engine Block at one end, and bolted to the Rear Axle Support ('U' shaped crossmember) on the other end. From the looks of it, it would keep the Engine from falling and scraping the ground should the Engine or Transmission Mounts fail. If that were to occur, I doubt this would be your biggest problem, especially if at high speed...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
