It’s not what you’re thinking, this isn’t the rumoured two-door baby Cayenne from Porsche but is the work of UK-based tuning firm Merdad. They let slip on the project back in September and now they have some real life shots of their Cayenne Coupe that debuted in London last month.
Taking a current-gen Cayenne, Merdad proceeded to chop off part of the chassis and toss the two rear doors away. They then threw in an aero kit with 22-inch alloy wheels snuggling at all four corners. Completing the package is a revised electronic lowering module that, we’re guessing, takes into account the reduced weight and shorter dimensions of the Cayenne Coupe.
The interior is spruced up with black leather and red Alcantara that form a new trim design that also wraps the new steering wheel. Of course, being a tuning firm, Merdad wouldn’t have the Cayenne Coupe without a healthy bump up in motivation. They’re offering various stages of upgrades for the Turbo model, ranging from 550hp to 750hp, with the range-topper boasting a century sprint time of 4.4-seconds.
