Porsche is building up to reveal a coupé version of the Cayenne SUV in the coming months, and another prototype has been caught winter testing.
Previously seen at the Nurburgring showing off a new active rectracting spoiler, the Cayenne coupé is targeted as a rival for the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé. Broadening the scope of the Cayenne line-up, it's expected to share the vast majority of its traditional SUV subling.
The spy pictures show that the new Porsche model receives the same front-end styling as the third-generation Cayenne, albeit with a unique front bumper design. In a move mirroring that of its key rivals, it adopts a newly styled liftback-style tailgate, altered rear side windows and a new tail-light design that is aimed at providing the Cayenne coupé with a more sporting profile.
The retractable rear spoiler, which had previously only been seen in its lowered position, appears to raise and lower as a single piece, rather than use the split wing design seen in the second-generation Panamera.

2018 928?
Like a modern 928?
Perhaps based upon a shortened Panamera... or the 911 chassis.
I loved the 928, so that would be a nice revival of a classic nameplate!

... so tired of these companies slavishly following each other. If you reduce the 'U' in 'SUV' to the extent that you end up with 'SV', then what is the point of bulk such as this? Illogical, wasteful decadence.
Wide cars in a world of narrow.

Not sure why people are complaining about this and the other 'coupes' in the class, people are spending their money to buy them so let the manufacturers make them. Am all for more choice and diversity even though they make no sense from a rational point of view compared to the cars they are based on.

Hear, hear! Say it...
...loud and proud! As people complain about these coupes, I say let freedom ring (or is the expression reign?)! Yes they are less practical, but two door cars are less practical then four door, yet most enthusiast want more two-door cars. Sadly we are watching as the buying public are moving away from cars all together, be it two door or other wise. Straight into SUV/CUV/Crossovers. Still others complain about the two box shape of these utility vehicles and in walks the four coupe, with (arguably) more style and premium price to boot. And while people stand in lines to buy them, still others complain about these being less practical. Why? Because ironically there is less space in the boot!
