Porsche, the renowned automobile manufacturer, is reportedly set to reveal a more potent model of its Cayenne Turbo, aimed directly at the most powerful super-SUV segment, which includes the Bentley Bentayga Speed, and Lamborghini Urus.

To be disclosed as a member of the updated Cayenne listing at June end, much ahead of the scheduled UK deliveries at year end, the new model is the most potent pure-combustion Cayenne ever. The model boasts  631bhp from a modified version of the automobile manufacturer’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine.

The so far unnamed novel variant would be sold in Cayenne Coupé body style with rakish roof, in a move aimed at making sure it offers the best combination of dynamics and performance. The conventional Cayenne Turbo would remain on sale.

The engineer in charge of the novel variant’s development, Rico Löscher, stated that there are a few advantages in picking the Coupé. The new variant is much lighter and has somewhat lower center of gravity than the SUV.

The range-topper’s bespoke features comprise of a sophisticated, carbon fiber-heavy active aerodynamic package, that is asserted to provide more downforce and much more efficient brake cooling and engine bay.

The novel Porsche uses numerous parts from the Lightweight Sport package that are offered as a discretionary equipment on the standard Cayenne Turbo Coupé, which includes a smooth carbon fiber roof panel.

The existing powerplant of Cayenne Turbo Coupé is increased by 89bhp to 631bhp. It is 39bhp more than the same twin-turbocharged engine produces in the Audi RS Q8, but it is only 10bhp lower than it does in the Lamborghini Urus, which is one of the most potent as well as the fastest model on sale today.

Löscher added that the main idea behind the novel model is to join added performance potential along with the keen engagement and complete dynamic ability of the Cayenne GTS model.
