ENGINE & PERFORMANCE

The Porsche Cayenne Coupe specs offer the same engine options that are available with the standard Cayenne SUV. There are 2 engine options available namely a V6 and a rumbling V8. The 3-litre V6 turbocharged petrol engine which produces a max power output of 335 bhp and a peak torque output of 450 Nm whereas the twin-turbocharged V8 produces a max power output of 542 bhp, and a massive 770 Nm of torque. All the wheels are driven via an 8-Speed torque converter automatic gearbox which shifts smoothly. Both of the engines are BS6 compliant to keep the emissions in check.

Porsche Cayenne Coupé mileage is 8.8 kmpl in the city and 10.8 kmpl on the highways. However, mileage depends on the driving habits of the driver.

The performance from the Coupe is very good due to the strong engines and it pulls hard all the way up to its redline. The body roll is well controlled due to the active roll-bars. The suspension is slightly stiffly sprung in favour of handling. It really is the handling where the Porsche Cayenne Coupe outshines its rival SUV Coupes. The rear-axle steering aids in manoeuvring the big SUV in the city traffic.

BRAKING AND SAFETY

Braking duties are handled by ceramic coated iron brakes in the front and at the rear. Porsche also offers torque vectoring which ensures that the tyres have enough traction all the time. There is also Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control which is an active roll stabilisation system that stiffens up the chassis in the corners to ensure minimum body-roll. Safety is taken care of by ABS with EBD, Brake Assist, Traction control and stability control.

CONCLUSION

Porsche Cayenne Coupe is aimed towards those who want to buy a sporty yet stylish SUV where the Cayenne Coupe excels.
