The Porsche Cayenne Coupe is slated to be unveiled
later this month and it appears we could be getting our first official glimpse
of the model. Sent in by Carscoops reader Erico, this sketch shows a sleek
crossover with a dynamic roofline, muscular rear haunches and a
tailgate-mounted spoiler. We can also see a rakish rear window, an upright
tailgate and familiar Porsche taillights.
The sketch matches up nicely with previous spy
photos, but this image certainly makes the crossover look far more aggressive.
It also doesn’t show the front of the Cayenne Coupe which closely resembles the
standard model.
The cabin will largely carryover, so drivers can
expect a 12.3-inch infotainment system and an instrument cluster with 7-inch
displays on each side of an analogue tachometer. In typical Porsche fashion,
there should be countless interior options including everything from heated and
ventilated seats to carbon fiber and wood trim.
Engine options should be shared with the standard
model, so we can expect an entry-level variant with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6
that produces 335 hp and 450 Nm of torque. There
could also be a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 developing 434 hp and 550 Nm of torque. Spy photographers have also caught a Turbo
variant which will use a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 producing 541 hp and 769 Nm of torque.
Porsche is embracing electrification, so the company
could offer an e-Hybrid model with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6, a 14.1 kWh
lithium-ion battery pack and an electric motor. This should enable the
crossover to have a combined output of 455 hp and 699 Nm of torque.
