The 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe. The original Cayenne was the first production Porsche with four doors. Despite some detractors, it鈥檚 been a high-performer from the start - not every variant was brilliant, but enough of them were, which justified the Cayenne鈥檚 existence many times over. One of the first sports-oriented SUVs, the Cayenne is credited with sending Porsche into orbit financially and, in part, with foreshadowing the current wave of like-minded offerings from other manufacturers. The third-generation Cayenne was introduced for the 2019 model year, and now there鈥檚 a new body style available, the Coupe, that might just be more Porsche than ever. It鈥檚 surprising that a sportier take on the Cayenne, which made its debut in 2002, is just arriving on the scene. If the pattern established by the manufacturer holds fast, more iterations will follow - a plug-in hybrid, for example, has already been confirmed as the fourth model in the product rollout.
The upshot of the Cayenne Coupe is this: It鈥檚 the same engineering that underpins the Cayenne, but it鈥檚 presented in a more hunkered-down form with slightly different dimensions and a few interesting tweaks. Each version of the Coupe is more expensive than the corresponding Cayenne model, but the tweaks and some packaging differences between the two model lines are the cause of the discrepancy. When placed side-by-side, it鈥檚 easy to differentiate the Coupe from the classic Cayenne: On the new variant, the front windshield is shallower, owing to a roofline that鈥檚 20 millimetres lower, and the rear hatch is similarly angled. The wheelbase is identical, but the Coupe is 18 millimetres wider across the rear haunches, giving the impression that it鈥檚 more muscular and set closer to the ground. The Coupe also has a unique rear fascia, a fixed rear spoiler and a second adaptive spoiler that extends when the speedometer crests 90 km/h.
This last feature, the first use of adaptive aerodynamics on a production SUV, helps create more downforce at the back for greater cornering capability. There鈥檚 also a laundry list of performance-oriented options to choose from, including no fewer than three different 鈥渓ightweight packages鈥?that include a carbon-fibre roof, carbon-fibre diffuser and 22-inch aluminum wheels. Check all the right boxes and the Coupe tips the scales at 22 kilograms less than the equivalent standard model. Of the three models, the Turbo Coupe is, unsurprisingly, the most exhilarating. The twin-turbo V-8 unspools a whopping 541 horsepower, rockets from a full stop to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and goes on to hit an Autobahn-approved top speed of 286 km/h. Here鈥檚 the thing: The first drive of the Cayenne Coupe did not take place in Germany (with its unrestricted-speed stretches), but in neighbouring Austria, where the local constabulary tends to be less freewheeling.
The scenery in the Styria region is unquestionably beautiful and the narrow roads have solid character - but it鈥檚 just not the place to unleash a large vehicle with significant horsepower. A full summary of the performance capabilities will have to wait for another day. In the meantime, what can be said is this: The 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe is incredibly well-engineered and better than many modern sports cars. The steering, handling, braking and engine response are far better than should be expected from any kind of an SUV - and yet, here we are. The third-generation Cayenne has plenty of swagger and some may actually prefer the boxier shape of the SUV. For sure, though, when fitted with the lightweight package, carbon-fibre roof and carbon ceramic brake package, the Coupe presents as a serious performance machine. A lower-than-usual rear seat in the Coupe helps to preserve headroom. To compensate for the sloping roofline, the rear seat in the Coupe has been lowered by 30 millimetres to preserve headroom; passengers around six-feet tall will find it surprisingly spacious.
