Porsche is Tragically Thinking About Building a Cayenne Coupe
And not just thinking about it, the design already exists within the walls of Weissach.
Porsche is playing with the potential of getting in on the dog-squatting-SUV-lookalike market with a cut up version of the Cayenne. Following the unveiling of the third-generation crossover, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar the company is “thinking about” offering a Coupe’d version of the astoundingly popular model.
“We analyse different segments and this can be an option in the future. Today, no decision has been taken. We have to make a calculation and talk to our customers,” said Blume.
Porsche design boss Michael Mauer then added fuel to the fire when he revealed the design had already been completed as part of an internal project.

“As a design department, we’re always asked to come up with proposals,” Mauer was quoted as saying. “This is the most attractive part of the job: when the brand asks me to provide design ideas to visualise the product portfolio with no limitations of budgets. For each and every model, we have a lot of ideas. But there has to be a business plan. Yes, we’ve developed a lot of ideas.”
There is merit for such a project, with Mauer pointing towards the Panamera lineup which now includes the long wheelbase Panamera Executive and the new shooting brake Panamera Sport Turismo.
