The Cayenne is the car that saved Porsche and allowed them to keep making the 911. However, the SUV has never been allowed to have a BMW X6-rivaling coupe version… until now.<\/p>\n

A few months after launching the third generation, Porsche green-lit some major surgery. With a couple of ribs removed and some liposuction, the “Coupe” is a supermodel of sorts, though some might even argue it’s an unnatural appearance.<\/p>

The original Cayenne was a game changer because it was an SUV built to Porsche standards whereas this is a rival to many well-established competitors. Besides the obvious BMW and Mercedes units, there’s also the Audi Q8 to consider which, by the way, rides on the same platform as this.<\/p>\n

Much like the Audi, the Cayenne doesn’t feature a completely raked roof, so rear headroom won’t be terrible. Boot space will be impacted, though not severely.<\/p>\n

As can be seen by the brakes and exhaust, powertrain-wise this prototype is the full-fat, turbocharged V8 experience. However, another Cayenne Coupe was captured on camera some time ago with a base 3.0-litre turbo setup. No diesels will be offered as they’re too much of a headache. Hybrids, of course are going to be offered.<\/p>\n

Porsche and Audi collaborated on a series of V6 and V8 engines, but said this will be their last ICE setups. Electricity is the way of the way of the future, and a Tesla-rivaling SUV is scheduled to arrive in 2022, though that won’t replace the Cayenne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
