- That back there is the 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe Turbo S E-hybrid with the lightweight sport package. Going to show you what all of that means compared to just a regular Cayenne. Now, most obviously, this has a different, more 911-esque roofline than the regular Cayenne, but it also means that it has a 0.78-inch lower roof, and the a pillar is more sharply raked. But then a walk around the back here, that's not all.
In fact, the entire rear end has been widened. It has flared wheel arches. And the rear doors have been redesigned. Furthermore, the rear track is also wider. This also has an adaptive, extended spoiler lip, just on a 911 or on a Cayman, and it raises by itself when you go above 56 miles per hour. Now, the coupe come standard with a glass roof, but this is a carbon roof, which is a telltale sign that this car has a lightweight sport package.
Now, besides the carbon fiber roof, you do get 22-inch GT designed wheels. Now, these have slime green accents-- that is because this has the Turbo SE hybrid. But you also have the sport design front fascia. You have a front spoiler. You have wheel covers and side skirts. You also have a carbon fiber diffuser around the back. The total weight reduction is 46 pounds.
Inside with the lightweight sport package, you get carbon fiber trim, and you have this alcantara wrap steering wheel. And then, this is the only way in a Cayenne, to get these very cool houndstooth cloth seats with leather. They don't cost extra, which is good. But then the whole package costs at least $11,570. And there are versions that cost even more, which is expensive. Now, to counter the lower roof, the whole back seat has actually been lowered by 30 millimeters. Now, as a result, they actually do have tons of headroom here. I'm 6 foot 3, very comfortable. And you don't feel like you're sitting here on the floor.
My legs are still perfectly comfortable. So honestly, you're not really giving much up with the coupe versus the regular Cayenne. Now, one thing you are giving up as standard is a middle seat. However, you can add it back as a no-cost option. And since this is a coupe, you do get less cargo space-- 5 cubic feet less than the regular Cayenne. Largely, that means you lose virtually all the space above the back seat line. So that does reduce its functionality, its versatility. But there's still plenty of space here for luggage. And since this is the e-hybrid, there's a chance you have to carry around the charge cord, which is quite the large thing. But also since this is the e-hybrid, you get these slime green accents on here. You also have them on the enormous brakes and their calipers and up here on the e-hybrid badge, which you get whether you get the Mac daddy Turbo S like this or the regular e-hybrid.
Here's one last look at the very cool, very lava orange Porsche Cayenne Coupe Turbo S E-hybrid.
