Turbocharged Porsche Cayenne S Coupé Tears Onto the Scene

Powered by a 2.9-liter V6 engine, this powerful coupe also boasts a sporty and dynamic appearance. 

Porsche has introduced a new and decidedly more powerful Cayenne S Coupé variant. With a powerful engine and a special Sport Chrono Package, there’s a lot to love.

The sleek Cayenne S gets major oomph from a 2.9-liter V6 engine featuring twin turbocharging that produces 434 hp. The SUV coupé lays it down, hitting 0 to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds with the standard Sport Chrono Package. This partly due to the engines lower placement, which lowers the center of gravity. And increases the ride’s responsiveness, velocity, and agility.

The overall design is focused on performance, especially the rear section. The fixed roof spoiler is combined with the rear spoiler as part of Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA). The spoiler works seamlessly with the appearance, and increases the downforce on the rear axle.

There are two different roof concepts and a rear seat bench with the characteristics of individual seats. The panoramic fixed glass roof comes as standard, or optionally there is a contoured carbon roof.

The new Cayenne S Coupé is now available to order and will be hitting dealers this summer.
