The 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe has been a long time
coming and continues to progress through a stringent development and testing
regime around the world. Shortly after a prototype was spied testing in
Stuttgart, Germany, Carscoops spy photographers have snapped an example winter
testing in the frozen north of Sweden.
The major point of
difference between it and the regular Cayenne will be the Coupe-like roofline.
Additionally, Porsche has relocated the license plate slot to the center of the
bumper and based on the camouflage of this prototype, it appears some
modifications have also been made to the vehicle’s taillight design.
The 2020 Cayenne Coupe in question appears to be the
potent Turbo variant, as evidenced by its quad tailpipes, large carbon ceramic
brake discs, and yellow calipers. The SUV also includes a subtle spoiler
stretching from the roof over the upper portion of the rear window. That’s in
addition to the one-piece retractable spoiler hidden in the tailgate portion
above the lights.
Tthe 2020 Cayenne Coupe Turbo will
be offered with exactly the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 as the regular model.
This means the SUV will get 550 hp and 768 Nm of torque. A plethora
of other Cayenne Coupe models will be sold. One of these models will use Porsche’s twin-turbo
2.9-liter V6 with 434 hp. It’s even possible that an all-conquering Cayenne
Coupe Turbo S E-Hybrid could be produced, fitted with the same 680 hp powertrain
as the range-topping Panamera.
The original Porsche Cayenne received it’s fair
share of criticisms about its design, but fortunately, Porsche drastically
improved the looks of the vehicle over the years and through its various
iterations. If the current trends continue, the Cayenne Coupe could very well
prove to be the best looking of the bunch.
