Porsche Is Actually Considering A Coupe Version Of The Cayenne

Porsche is looking to expand its SUV line-up with the addition of a new coupe-shaped off-roader based on the next-generation Cayenne. It will rival the BMW X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, and even though we've already seen spy shots of the car Porsche's design boss remained coy about the new model.

“As a designer I see a lot of possibilities," he told us at the Geneva Motor Show. "I see this possibility, but then we must talk about the business case. I’m not saying ‘no, that’s not coming’ but so far there is no project like this.” However, he then added: “Maybe there are derivatives [of the next Cayenne], maybe not.”

The spy pictures show that Porsche is still in the early stages of development given the test mule awkwardly wears a Panamera body, riding taller, wider and yet to sprout its own bodywork.

Another awkward, humpy, X6-inspired abortion that nobody really wants or even asked for! I can't say I didn't see this one coming ...

I gotta say I'm not a fan of this niche but, I dont think it's the X6 inspiring these vehicles anymore with it's lackluster sales, I think its the GLE coupe which is eating the X6's breakfast lunch and dinner

Still in my mind the dumbest current automotive trend. Heavy, thirsty, with very poor visibility and much less storage space. Ridiculous to the extreme...

Given how poorly the X6 sells, why does anyone WANT to compete with it?

Why not just make a true coupe SUV (with 2 doors, not 4)?

Talk about further diluting the brand!
