Shortly after the first reports that Porsche is working on a new high-performance version of the Cayenne to go after the Lamborghini Urus, the German carmaker released the first official information along with a clip of Walter Röhrl driving a slightly camouflaged test car on the track. The new Cayenne model is expected to be the most powerful member of the range with a combustion engine, featuring an upgraded version of the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with reportedly up to 631 HP. Customers wishing for even more power can always go for the plug-in Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid.
Compared to its more powerful plug-in
hybrid siblings, the yet-unnamed Porsche Cayenne will be focused more on
driving dynamics and will be offered exclusively with the Coupe bodystyle.
Porsche engineers have tinkered with the setup of the PDCC (Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control) active roll stabilization system for a more
performance-oriented handling character, while the front axle has been beefed
up with half-an-inch wider rims and more negative camber.
The new hot version of the Porsche Cayenne
Coupe is also getting a new titanium exhaust system with centrally mounted
tailpipes, as well as a more aggressive aero kit that includes a redesigned
front bumper, a roof spoiler with new side elements, and a new more pronounced
rear diffuser.
The hot new Porsche Cayenne Coupe is
expected to be revealed in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
