Porsche Cayenne Coupe can be had with either a 3.0L V6 or a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 making 549 PS and 768 Nm with top speed of 286 kmph

The Cayenne Coupe comes as part of Porsche expanding its third generation Cayenne series and it is a much-needed inclusion. Showcased at the 2019 Shanghai Motor Show, it features a distinctive sloped coupe roofline while the overall design is nothing short of being sporty and aggressive.

The major exterior highlights are a unique rear profile, adaptive rear spoiler that extends 134.5 mm at speeds of 90 kmph and above, panoramic fixed glass roof and prominent character lines. Porsche took the standard Cayenne and added a more appealing yet purposeful design in the coupe.

Another main change is the roof sitting 19.8 mm lower along with subtle modifications to the windshield, doors and quarter glass. The optional carbon fibre roof can be chosen this time around while the Sport Design allows for carbon fibre and Alcantara interior accents, Sport Exhaust System, 22-inch lightweight GT Design wheels, etc.
