Porsche’s Turbo Cayenee E-Hybrid coupe SUV – Technically impressive upper luxury SUV

One for the enthusiast driver today – the Porsche Cayenne turbo E-Hybrid Coupe SUV – a German express from $297,200. The Cayenne SUV comes in wagon form or in the sloped roof Coupe with a total of seven models, the turbo E-Hybrid Coupe, the most powerful combustion engine Porsche available. The figures staggering – 544kW of power and 950Nm of torque from its plug-in hybrid powertrain – a combination of a twin turbo 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine paired with an electric motor and despite tipping the scales at nearly 2600 kilos powering to 100km/hour in just 3.5-seconds. This German coupe style SUV feels absolutely bullet proof, with a 25.9kWh battery we are talking about a very sophisticated Porsche. With all wheel drive, eight speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox, an adaptive electronic suspension, four available drive modes plus a very sophisticated traction management system this is a technically impressive upper luxury SUV – and the coupe style gives it a sporty profile to match the performance capability. If I had a criticism, option prices on the test car tallied $42,000, some simply over the top like the Porsche crest on the headrests $950 for branding, barely what you should consider an option. This aside, the performance capability very impressive, details next segment. I’m David Berthon
