The new Porsche will be on view there until April 25, and will play a major role in the further growth of the sports car manufacturer in China.
“With the Cayenne Coupé, we’ve brought along a special version of our Chinese Porsche customers’ favourite model,” says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, at the kick-off of the exhibition: “We are expanding the Cayenne family with a vehicle demonstrating a very strong character of its own. And as in every other segment in which we compete, we also want the Coupé to be the sportiest option in its class. That’s why we continue to develop our product range in a focused way, in order to give our customers what they want and gain new ones – especially here in China, our biggest individual market.”
Progressive, athletic and emotional thanks to custom design elements
Porsche delivered more than 31,000 units of the Cayenne in China in 2018, representing an increase of 19 percent compared with the previous year. The sports car manufacturer wants to continue to grow in the SUV segment with the Coupé variant. It includes all the technical highlights of the third Cayenne generation, but is more progressive, more athletic and more emotional thanks to its custom design elements and new technical details.
The roof line falls away more steeply to the rear, positioning the Coupé as the sportiest-looking model in the segment. The front windscreen and A-pillar are shallower than in the Cayenne due to the fact that the roof edge has been lowered by 20 millimetres. The newly designed doors and wings broaden the shoulders of the vehicle by 18 millimetres. The fixed roof edge spoiler is combined with an adaptive rear spoiler, which extends by 135 millimetres from a speed of 90 km/h, increasing downforce on the rear axle. This has benefits for driving stability.
Large panoramic fixed glass roof as standard – carbon roof as an option
The new Cayenne Coupé is equipped as standard with a 2.16 m2 panoramic fixed glass roof. A contoured carbon roof is available as an option. It belongs to one of a total of three optional lightweight sports packages, which also include the Sport Design package and new, weight-reduced 22-inch GT Design wheels as well asseat centres in a classic checked fabric. The new Cayenne Coupé offers plenty of space for up to four people as standard. At the front, sports seats with integrated head rests offer comfort and optimum lateral support. In the rear, the Coupé is equipped with a rear bench with the characteristics of two individual seats.
