Key highlights of the new Porsche Cayenne Coupe include sharper styling with a unique rear body section, an adaptive rear spoiler, a rear bench with the characteristics of two individual seats, and two different roof styles – a panoramic fixed glass roof fitted as standard, and an optional carbon-fibre roof.
A choice of two high-performance engines are available at launch. The Porsche Cayenne Coupe with a 3.0-litre V6 turbocharged engine delivers 340 PS (250 kW) and maximum torque of 450 Nm. The Sport Chrono Package fitted as standard sees the standard sprint from 0-62 mph achieved in 6.0 seconds, with this figure dropping to 5.9 seconds with the optional lightweight sports packages. Top speed is 240 km/h.
The top-of-the-range Cayenne Turbo Coupe comes with a 4.0-litre V8 engine with twin-turbocharging that develops 550 PS (404 kW), and maximum torque of 770 Nm. The Cayenne Turbo Coupe can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and up to to a top speed of 285 km/h, where permitted.
Dynamic proportions combine with custom design elements to lend the new Cayenne Coupe a distinctly purposeful elegance. The distinctive roof flyline that falls away to the rear makes the SUV appear more dynamic. That effect is supported by a roof spoiler, which accentuates the distinctive Coupe silhouette.
The front windscreen and A-pillar are shallower than in the Cayenne, courtesy of a roof that has been lowered by around 20 mm. Redesigned rear doors and wheel arches broaden the shoulders of the car by 18 mm, contributing to an overall muscular stance. The rear number plate is integrated into the bumper, making the vehicle seem closer to the ground.
The adaptive roof spoiler fitted to the current Cayenne Turbo saw the Porsche become the first SUV to feature this type of active aerodynamics. The new Cayenne Coupe further develops this technology.
On each Porsche Cayenne Coupe model, a fixed roof spoiler is combined with a new adaptive rear spoiler located beneath the tailgate window as part of Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA). The spoiler – harmoniously integrated into the silhouette – extends by 135 mm at speeds 90 km/h and over, increasing the aerodynamic pressure on the rear axle, while PAA simultaneously enhances efficiency.
The new Porsche Cayenne Coup comes with a 2.16 sq.m. panoramic fixed glass roof as standard. The 0.92 sq.m. glazed area gives all passengers an extraordinary sense of space, while the integrated roller blind protects against sun exposure and colder weather.
A contoured carbon roof is available for the Coupe as an option. The centre seam styling motif gives the roof a characteristic appearance, similar to that of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The carbon roof is available in one of three optional lightweight sports packages. These also include new, lightweight, 22-inch diameter GT Design alloy wheels, Sport Design styling features, seat centres in classic checked fabric material, and carbon and Alcantara interior trim accents. For the Cayenne Turbo Coupe, the package also includes a sports exhaust system.
The new Porsche Cayenne Coupe offers plenty of space for up to four people as standard. In the front, new eight-way sports seats with integrated headrests offer exceptional comfort and optimum lateral support. Rear passengers sit 30 mm lower than in the Cayenne, meaning there is plenty of headroom despite the vehicle’s sleeker silhouette. A rear bench that has the characteristics of two individual seats further differentiates the Coupe. Alternatively, comfort rear seats, a familiar feature of the Cayenne, can be ordered at no additional cost.
The boot capacity is 625 litres which is ideal for everyday use. This capacity can be increased to 1,540 litres when the rear seats are folded down, In the Cayenne Turbo Coupe, the boot capacity is 600 litres and can be increased to 1,510 litres by folding the rear seats.
The highly dynamic design and custom styling elements of the new Cayenne Coupe truly set it apart from the Cayenne. At the same time, it benefits from all the technical highlights of the third model generation, which features powerful drive systems, innovative chassis systems, a digital display and operating concept, and comprehensive connectivity.
