The Cayenne Coupe models boast an appearance that is as sporty as it is elegant, characterized by the perfect interplay of typical Porsche design, which echoes the silhouette of the 911, and outstanding driving dynamics.
Whether you're in the driver's seat or a passenger: Driving a Porsche should feel like a sport while still offering great comfort. The Cayenne Coupe models manage this balancing act effortlessly: thanks to the enhanced chassis and technologies that adapt the chassis even better to the intended use — such as off-road use. Examples include the adaptive air suspension, the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) for active roll stabilization and the rear-axle steering.
The Cayenne S Coupe is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with a maximum power output of 468 hp and a drag torque of 442 lb-ft. V8 engines stand for exceptional power output, high torque, smooth operation and a characteristic sound.
The enhanced adaptive air suspension with full load-bearing air-spring struts in 2-chamber technology allows for an even greater combination of comfort and sportiness while at the same time maintaining the same ride comfort. The level system helps to maintain a constant ride height. By adjusting the height of the chassis, the ground clearance can be varied as required, for example during off-road use. The rear end can also be lowered for easier loading of the luggage compartment.
The panoramic fixed glass roof of the Cayenne Coupe models makes a real statement: it generously covers the entire passenger compartment. It boasts a modern, open look and floods the interior with light. This creates a unique feeling of space, especially for the passengers in the rear. If necessary, the glass roof can be concealed by an integrated electrically operated sunblind.
Standard 20-inch and other 21- and 22-inch wheels optimize handling with a new tire size. Fundamental revisions to the chassis and a new adaptive air suspension ensure both greater comfort and increased performance. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is standard on all models.
The high-resolution HD-Matrix Design LED Headlights in Black offer outstanding lighting performance with more than 64,000 pixels and fit seamlessly into the GTS design with their refined look.
The Cayenne Coupe models feature Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA). With an extension of 5.31 inches, the adaptive rear spoiler downforce for the driving situation.
Depending on the model and equipment, the spacious luggage compartment offers up to 20.9 ft³ storage volume. The luggage compartment can hold up to 53.0 ft³ thanks to the 40:20:40 folding rear seats. The cargo management system is available on request: a variable system for the secure transport of items in the luggage compartment. It includes two attachment rails integrated into the floor of the luggage compartment and a partition net.
In the Cayenne Coupe models, the ergonomically shaped sport seats in the front with raised side bolsters and integrated head rests combine dynamic driving and outstanding seat comfort. With the help of electrical adjustment options (8-way), the seat system adapts optimally to the respective body shape. The seat height, seat cushion and backrest angles and fore/aft position are electrically adjustable.
Typically Porsche driver-oriented in the style of the Porsche Driver Experience: The digital instrument cluster with a 12.65-inch curved display places the displays concisely in the field of vision. Various display formats can be selected: typical round instruments, map section in the central round instrument, full area navigation map, reduced view and the optional view with Night Vision Assist in the center.
The optional 10.9-inch touchscreen display on the passenger side provides access to navigation and infotainment functions. It can provide route planning assistance as well as insight into instrument cluster data. The App Center also supports the use of apps such as video streaming while driving – without distracting the driver.
High-quality, full-color projection of relevant driving information in the driver’s field of vision. The projection allows the information to appear in the windshield over the instrument cluster as if it were in front of the vehicle. The display position can be adjusted for the driver’s height and seat position. For example, information on the driving speed, engine speed, driving mode, and navigation can be displayed. In addition, depending on the vehicle specification, traffic signs, hazard warnings, and Sport Chrono information can be displayed. The content that is displayed can be individually adjusted.
Radar- and video-based technology that monitors and automatically regulates the distance from the vehicle in front as required even down to a halt by means of the stop-and-go function (usable at 19+ mph). Additional functions: audible warning if too close; warning by active jolt of the brakes; strategic braking; visual and audible warning if pedestrians are detected within collision range.
Remote-controlled parking allows entering and leaving a parking space via your smartphone. The system automatically detects parking spaces and measures their size. If the parking space is a suitable size, the driver can initiate the parking maneuvers and then get out of the vehicle. At the end of the parking maneuver, the vehicle is automatically switched off and locked.
Another feature of Porsche InnoDrive including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is Active Lane Keep Assist. It combines ACC and Lane-Keeping functionality on major roads and highways. The system follows the line of traffic ahead and lane markings, within the limits of the system, and keeps the vehicle in the middle of the lane by continuous steering adjustments – even in congested conditions. Active Lane Keep Assist is beneficial to stress relief and greater comfort on long journeys.
