While the new Porsche Cayenne Coupe won’t be
reaching U.S. dealerships until this fall, the German automaker has already
released pricing and a configurator for the two available-from-launch versions. Kicking things off is the
entry-level Cayenne Coupe, priced upwards of US$ 75,300. It’s powered by a 335 HP 3.0-liter V6 engine, and comes loaded with the likes of PASM,
eight-way Sport Seats, LED headlights, a BOSE sound system and plenty more, as
standard.
If you’re not interested in any optional extras,
which is hard to believe, then you can have this car at just US$ 3,950 more than
what you’d spend on its closest rival in terms of pricing, the Mercedes-Benz
GLE Coupe. Most Porsche Cayenne Coupe buyers are going to go
click-happy on the options list, which might actually bump the car’s price tag
to almost US$ 200,000, if you opt for the Turbo version. Of course, while using
Porsche’s online configurator, we couldn’t help but do just that and added
everything we could to the Turbo Coupe, bringing the sum total to US$ 195,360 –
with US$ 64,010 in optional extras alone.
This is what our car looks like: It has a Chalk
exterior (US$ 3,150 color), 22-inch GT Design wheels, 18-way adaptive sports
seats, thermally and noise insulated glass, the Lightweight Sport Package
(US$ 11,570), PDCC (US$ 3,590), Rear Axle Steering with Power Steering Plus (US$ 1,620),
Sport Exhaust (US$ 3,220), Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (US$ 5,580), Porsche
InnoDrive with Adaptive Cruise Control (US$ 3,610), Night Vision Assist (US$ 2,420),
a Burmester sound system (US$ 5,810) and way, way more. We even added Carbon Fiber
Floor Mats with Deviated leather Edging and Stitching for US$ 1,380.
To put all that into perspective, the most we could
get out of a Mercedes GLE 63 S Coupe was US$ 143,425 fully loaded. Other benefits from owning a
Cayenne Turbo Coupe come via its 4.0-liter twin turbocharged V8 engine,
producing 541 HP and 768 Nm of torque. It can get you from
zero to 96 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.
