If you ever wondered what the combination of sports car and SUV would like, the answer is the 2021 Porsche Cayenne Coupe. The car is a true unibody SUV with sports car-like capabilities. Keep reading to learn more about this exciting SUV.
Literally a Fastback
The 2021 Cayenne Coupe is the faster fastback version of the Porsche Cayenne. The car can only be described as exhilarating to drive if you dare to take it to the edge. That’s not to say that the suspension, drivetrain, and unibody don’t mesh with the driver to provide incredible traction; the capability of the Cayenne Coupe is just so explosive.
E-Hybrid Engine
Hybrids are fast becoming a standard option with most cars, but there is nothing ordinary about the hybrid engine produced by Porsche for the Cayenne Coupe. The vehicle is much heavier and much lower to the ground than Cayenne to start with. The E-Hybrid model has a larger battery capable of holding 17.9 kWh compared to 14.1Wh. The battery has been tweaked to charge differently and get better charging out the engine, giving the battery more range and cycle count.
Hyper Hybrids
Two seriously potent hybrid engines are also available. You can choose between a 455-hp power train and a scary 670-hp electric motor and engine combination.
Serious Fast Power
If you want to stick to a gas-powered Cayenne Coupe, your first choice is a 340-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that blips on gear changes. The 434-hp twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 is similar to the Panamera is another option. If you want an even more tire-shredding boost, the twin-turbocharged V8 4.0-liter will keep you satisfied, delivering around 540 horsepower.
Ride Quality
Adaptive suspension is not a bonus because it is a necessity on coupes as fast as these. The standard 20-inch rims do a great job of filling the wheel arches, but the extra-inch available with the GTS makes a big difference. Instead of being higher off the ground, the design of the car swoops down over the car giving it a lower and tighter ride.
Infotainment and Interior Systems
You cannot help but love the massive 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen that also integrates a climate-control system. Everyone can stay connected to everyone else with onboard Wi-Fi. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as is navigation. The high-end trims come packaged with a 14-speaker Bose sound system or a 21-speaker Burmester 3D. The base audio system is fully surround sound with 10-speakers.
Driver Technology
Porsche provides essential driver-assistance technologies as standard, but the most cutting-edge driver aids and driver-convenience packages are available as extras, which is not surprising considering this kind of tech by Porsche is up there with the best in the world.
