The Porsche Cayenne Coupe lineup is expanding as the
company has introduced the new S variant. Designed to slot in between the
standard model and the Turbo, the 2020 Cayenne S Coupe has a twin-turbo
2.9-liter V6 engine that produces 434 hp and 550
Nm of torque. It is connected to an
eight-speed automatic transmission which sends power to a standard all-wheel
drive system. This enables the crossover to accelerate from 0-100
km/h in 5.0 seconds and onto a top speed of 263 km/h.
In the United States, the Cayenne S Coupe features
20-inch wheels and a panoramic glass roof. Other highlights include eight-way
power front sport seats, a two-person rear seat (a three-person bench is a no
cost option) and the Sport Chrono Package.
The European model is slightly different, but it
retains the panoramic glass roof, 20-inch wheels and Sport Chrono Package.
Customers will also find Park Assist, a speed-sensitive Power Steering Plus
system and the Porsche Active Suspension Management system.
In both markets, customers will be able to order
three Lightweight Sport Packages. They add a number of special features
including Houndstooth cloth seat centers, a carbon fiber roof and 22-inch
forged aluminum wheels. When all three packages are ordered together, they
reduce the 0-100 mph time by a tenth of a second.
Porsche is currently accepting orders and the
Cayenne S Coupe will arrive in the United States this fall. Pricing starts at US$ 88,600 – excluding a US$ 1,250 delivery, processing and handling fee.
