传言变成现实，保时捷确实正在开发卡宴轿跑车。最近谍照记者在靠近斯图加特的地方拍到了正在测试的卡宴轿跑车，该车向下倾斜的车顶借鉴自Macan跨界车。不过，车尾设计则更像帕纳梅拉。车辆前脸设计类似卡宴，但前风挡及侧窗/尾窗则明显不同。看来保时捷希望将卡宴轿跑车造型更圆润，而不是像兰博基尼Urus那样造型硬朗的车型。从该车小尺寸钢制轮圈和车尾双排气尾管判断，这车搭载了一台六缸引擎，有可能是3.0升V6或2.9升V6引擎，目前还无法确定。可以确定的是，保时捷将为该车提供4.0升V8引擎，当然是Turbo版本。另外还有一款高性能插电混动车，功率600马力，扭矩850牛米。保时捷CEOOliverBlume表示，该车将于2019年或2020年上市。其竞争车型包括奥迪Q8、宝马X6和奔驰GLE轿跑车。这款车将与卡宴标准版一起在莱比锡工厂投产并将标配全轮驱动，正如预计的那样，属于偏后轮全驱。保时捷卡宴轿跑车采用大众集团的MLBEvo平台，所有车型都标配八速TiptronicS自动变速器。至于车厢内部，由于车顶向下倾斜，因此乘客头部空间和储物容积减少。车辆内装设计与标准版一样，转速表两侧是两个7.0英寸显示屏，而PCM系统则采用12.3英寸显示屏。
Spy Photos: 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe is Elegant With a Dash of Sportiness
The rumors were true, Porsche is indeed working on a coupe body style for the Cayenne! Spied by the carparazzi doing its thing near Stuttgart, the test mule appears to borrow the sloping roof design of the Macan crossover. The rear end of the newcomer, however, is more Panamera than Cayenne or Macan.
The design of the front fascia is similar to the Cayenne, but the windshield, rear and side windows obviously differ. It appears that Porsche went for a more fluid styling for the Cayenne Coupe without going all out as Lamborghini did with the Urus.
As for the small-diameter steel rotors and trapezoidal dual-exhaust system, these details suggest that the engine bay is home to a six-cylinder engine. Be it the 3.0-liter V6 or 2.9-liter V6, we don’t know for sure. What we do know is that Porsche will fit a 4.0-liter V8 in there for the Turbo. A high-performance plug-in hybrid is in the cards too, packing 680 horsepower and an earth-shattering 850 Nm (627 lb-ft).
Greenlit by Porsche’s chief executive officer Oliver Blume and expected to arrive in the second half of 2019 for the 2020 model year, the Cayenne Coupe will battle with the likes of the Audi Q8, BMW X6, and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe. Scheduled to go into production alongside the Cayenne in Leipzig, the Coupe will come standard with all-wheel drive. The system, as expected, will be rear-biased.
Previously spotted testing with the body shell of the Panamera, the Cayenne Coupe rides on the Volkswagen Group MLB Evo platform and comes as standard with the eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission. As far as the interior is concerned, expect the different roof and rear end to eat into the headroom and cargo capacity.
The design of the interior, meanwhile, will be unchanged from the Cayenne we all know and love. What that means is, the tachometer is flanked by two 7.0-inch screens while the Porsche Communication Management system spans across a diameter of 12.3 inches.
