The Porsche Cayenne Coupé arrives, the most sporty version of the German SUV

The coupé option is available on many models, because it gives a sportier look to any model it is applied to, so it is not unusual for more and more models, which at first seem quite far from this possibility, to receive a coupé treatment. This is the case of the Porsche Cayenne Coupé, which has just been presented and which you can see in the image gallery. The differences between the Porsche Cayenne and this coupé version lie in the styling, which is closer to a sporty concept.

The Porsche Cayenne Coupé 2019 offers a more streamlined look, with a smaller windshield compared to the model it is based on. This element is also more inclined backwards to accentuate its more dynamic appearance. The roofline also slopes towards the rear, reducing the height of the car by 20 mm. The rear doors and rear wheel arches have also been redesigned to bring it closer to the coupé look of the variant.

At the rear, a second spoiler is added, which hides within the bodywork when it is not needed. It appears when the car reaches 90 km/h and provides better aerodynamic performance. Inside, the logical change is found in the rear seats, which instead of a three-seat bench feature two independent seats. Those who want to enjoy family trips can also do so in this variant, with the inclusion of a third seat in the rear row.

The seats, incidentally, have been positioned 30 mm lower than in the Porsche Cayenne to compensate for the sloping roofline towards the rear. It features a panoramic roof with an area of 2.16 square metres. As an option, it can be replaced with a carbon-fibre roof. This option is only available in one of the sport packages together with 22-inch wheels. In addition, there is an option that adds a sport exhaust for greater performance.

Another consequence of this variant is the reduction in boot capacity. From 770 litres it drops to 625 litres, although in the case of the Porsche Cayenne Sport this capacity falls to 600 litres. As for the chassis and suspension, they remain the same as in the regular model. Turning to the engines, the Porsche Cayenne Coupé offers two petrol engines.

Two petrol engines for the Porsche Cayenne Coupé

The first of these is fitted to the entry-level model and is a six-cylinder 3.0-litre engine producing 340 CV of power and a maximum torque of 450 Nm. This version comes as standard with the Sport Chrono package. Thanks to this addition, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6 seconds, dropping to 5.9 seconds when equipped with the sport packages available as options.

The top of the range is represented by the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupé, which is equipped with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine delivering 550 CV of power and 770 Nm of maximum torque. This version reaches 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 286 km/h. Both versions feature all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

The price of the Porsche Cayenne Coupé 2019 is 97,217 euros for the entry-level version and 169,029 euros for the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupé, and you can already start reserving it to have it in your garage as soon as possible.
