AutoBild reports that work is underway in
Zuffenhausen on “coupe” versions of both the Cayenne and Panamera. The latter
would be the more direct spiritual successor to the 928.
The long-rumored grand
tourer would sit alongside the Panamera sedan and Sport Turismo wagon, but
reportedly adopt a different name – potentially that of its eight-cylinder
predecessor. The model could share much, then, with the new GT that Bentley is
preparing, based on the same platform.
The Cayenne coupe would take a different approach.
Though still front-engined, this model would take the form of a slant-backed
crossover. That’d put it up against the likes of the BMW X6 and Mercedes GLE
Coupe in an increasingly popular market sub-segment.
Along with the coupes, AutoBild (via Motor1) also
says an electric version of the Macan is in the works. Taking aim at the Jaguar
I-Pace, Tesla Model X, and forthcoming BMW iX3, the Macan EV is tipped to
arrive in 2022 in three levels of output. The base model would pack 215
horsepower, the mid-level version with 322 hp, and the
top-of-the-line with 430 hp. The latter would ostensibly come close to
the Macan Turbo with the optional Performance Package that churns out 434 hp.
