Porsche Cayenne Convertible Main

Discover The One-Off Porsche Cayenne Convertible Concept ...

Shortly after the launch of the first-generation model in December 2002, three additional variants came in for consideration. As Porsche continues its 20 year celebration of the iconic Cayenne, the German sports car manufacturer takes a deep dive into its archives of historic models. With an innovative mindset and an unlimited budget, its no surprise that the Porsche concept department was full of one-off examples that would never see the light of day. Presenting three alternative body shape to the first-generation Cayenne, Porsche is proud to showcase the one-of-one convertible variation. The Cayenne convertible came into consideration after stretching a coupé version by 20 centimeters, while also incorporating a row of rear seats and a retractable canvas roof. Today, there is still a single example of the open-top Cayenne kept in storage at the Porsche Museum. It is not a road-going prototype, however, but what is known as a Package Function Model (PFM). MUST-READ: Porsche Celebrates 20-Years of The Cayenne, The 959 Successor While the exterior underwent multiple design phases, Porsche engineers were unable to implement the appropriate body-stiffening measures necessary for a road-legal convertible. The sport styling of the Cayenne Convertible includes a rear end that mimics the lines of the 996 911, which became an area where designers were unable to agree on a final look. The disagreement of the rear design resulted in two different sections, boasting two completely different ideas and shapes. If the drop-top Cayenne had made it to the actual production line, Porsche was at the ready to install a now familiar soft-top mechanism that would quickly transform its appearance. Ultimately, the mechanism never made it past the computer simulation stage and the fabric top is now stored in the luggage compartment. After bringing back the idea of a Cayenne Coupé in 2019 with a successful production model, Porsche did not pursue the idea of a new convertible cars any further.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT next to Porsche Cayenne Turbo S

By Tyler Rampersaud –  July 15, 2022

The Porsche Cayenne Proved Its Worth By Being A Super Fas...

The Cayenne created one of the most important segments in today’s auto industry. It’s hard to imagine the automotive world today without the luxury performance SUV. The segment is tightly competitive, with sports and luxury automotive brands continuing to enter and establish their presence in the luxury performance SUV segment. However, it was 20 years ago when the genre was popularized by what was at the time a revolutionary move that saved one brand and changed the rules of the automotive world forever: the Porsche Cayenne. Even as recently as the late 1990s, it was unheard of to even imagine an SUV from the same brand as the iconic 911 and other sports cars, but taking the risk of making an SUV that was still a Porsche at heart was what saved a financially threatened Porsche and still serves as one of the brand’s highest-selling models to this day. MUST READ: Learn About The Holy Grail Of All Porsche 911s However, Porsche knew that if it was going to go as far as to release an SUV, it had to have a genuine Porsche character. To do this, a V8 engine was developed that would deliver high performance, in the name of 340 horsepower and 310 lb/ft of torque in the Cayenne S, and 444 horsepower and 457 lb/ft of torque in the Cayenne Turbo. As a result, the cars were respectively able to reach 150 and 165 mph. In fact, when the Cayenne Turbo S was launched, it was second in power only to the Carrera GT as a roadgoing Porsche, with 514 horsepower, 530 lb/ft of torque, and the ability to get from 0-60 in less than 5.2 seconds to a top speed of 168 mph. Today, the Cayenne Turbo GT continues that legacy with an incredible 631 horsepower, an evolution of the carefully-engineered dynamics and performance that made the Cayenne both an excellent SUV and an excellent Porsche. The Cayenne transformed Porsche and continues to 20 years later because it was a Porsche SUV done exactly the way it should have been. View All Porsche Cayennes For Sale Source: Porsche

Porsche Recounts The Challenges Of Turning Project "Color...

Two decades into its amazing life, the story of the Porsche Cayenne is already a legend. At a time when Porsche’s future was uncertain, the brand took a big risk and created something that was a great departure from what the brand was known for decades: an SUV. What resulted was the Porsche Cayenne, a vehicle that sent shockwaves through the entire automotive industry and rewrote the rulebook for what a sports car and a luxury car could be. However, being something so radically different than Porsche’s usual sports cars, the design journey of the Cayenne was an interesting one. The biggest challenge was in communicating that the Cayenne, despite being an SUV, was a Porsche. MUST READ: Porsche Centre Perth Hosts The World’s Largest Taycan Owners Meet In Australia Porsche set out to make the Cayenne an SUV that served its client flawlessly both on and off the road. It needed to fit five passengers and luggage, and have ground clearance fit for unpaved journeys. Along with a large V8 engine, mounted in the front of the car, the concept of the Cayenne was quite alien to Porsche. To make it look like a distinguished Porsche, one of the requirements was for the front end to strikingly resemble the 911. The headlights of the first Cayenne, which are higher than the hood and in the same shape as the 911 of the time, do this job. The doors, which were shared with the Volkswagen Touareg that was developed simultaneously with the Cayenne, were the biggest challenge for the team as they took up most of the side of the car, and had to look as though they were made for both models. The Touareg and the Cayenne sharing resources also presented challenges in the interior, where Porsche had to develop a new instrument cluster to accommodate the traditional five-tube design Porsche is known for, but overcoming all of these challenges was well worth the effort, as the Cayenne remains 20 years later one of the most important pieces of Porsche’s history.

20 Years Later, The Cayenne Is One Of The Most Important ...

What started as a way to save a brand in trouble became one of its most legendary successes. All the way back in 1989, Ferry Porsche predicted that an off-road Porsche would be a success, and that prediction quickly became something Porsche would depend on when the brand saw some of its worst financial trouble in the mid-90s. The Porsche Boxster, the mid-engined sports car that eventually gave way to the Cayman and now the entire 718 range, alleviated some of this trouble in 1996, but it quickly became clear that the Boxster wouldn’t get Porsche out of the woods alone. That’s when the idea came about to make an SUV for the North American market, which was quite receptive to SUVs at the time. MUST READ: The Best Porsche 911s You Can Buy Today Developed in conjunction with the Volkswagen Touareg, the Cayenne and Touareg would have separate chassis setups and engines on the same platform. This ensured that even though the platform would be shared with Volkswagen, the Porsche Cayenne had a unique character, and even though it was an SUV, it was very much a Porsche. 20 years ago in 2002, the Cayenne was brought onto the road, and the result was an explosive success and what remains to be one of Porsche’s highest-selling models to this day, a luxurious, sporty, and dynamic SUV that distilled Porsche’s driving character and put it into an entirely new form. From the Cayenne, the even sportier Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S blossomed with more power and performance, as well as Porsche’s first hybrid, the Cayenne S E-Hybrid in 2010, which used a full hybrid system rather than a power-split hybrid that offered pure electric driving range and not only increased efficiency but also performance. Today, the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid improved on this foundation to be an incredibly formidable luxury performance SUV, able to get from 0-60 in just 3.8 seconds. The Cayenne also served as the base for rallying Porsches, and also the defiantly sporty Cayenne GTS. The Cayenne immediately became a success, delivering 35,000 examples each year in the first 8 years rather than the expected 25,000, and in 2020, the millionth Cayenne rolled off the assembly line, with over 80,000 Cayennes being sold in 2021. After 20 years, the Cayenne is still one of the most important Porsche models ever; it didn’t just save the brand, it changed it for the better. View All Porsche Cayennes For Sale Source: Porsche

Porsche Celebrates 20-Years of The Cayenne, The 959 Succe...

Porsche's icon SUV stands right beside the 959. While the 911 platform defines itself as Porsche’s most iconic model in its historic fleet of performance cars, the adventurous Cayenne continues its legacy as a close second for the German automotive manufacturer. Porsche is proud to celebrate the Cayenne’s 20th Anniversary with a look back on its humble beginnings as the brand’s first production luxury SUV, which now features five generations that showcase its innovation and evolution. Finding its footing under design and performance aspects from the 959, the Porsche Cayenne now stands as the possible successor to the famous 1980s supercar. The idea behind developing the Cayenne began as Project ‘Colorado’, a joint partnership between Porsche and Volkswagen that would introduce an all-new Touareg off-roader. Porsche established its efforts by designing two in-house V8 engines, a 4.5-Liter Naturally Aspirated V8 and an upgraded version that generates more power from a twin-turbocharged system. MUST-READ: Which Porsche Macan Is Best? We Tested Them All For You The first-generation Porsche Cayenne was nicknamed the E1 and shares various similarities with the Dakar Rally 959, being an off-road platform that can withstand desert racing events as well as everyday driving. The most impressive area of the Cayenne fall under chassis technology, where the SUV showcases its true versatility and durability. The 2002 Porsche Cayenne came fit with state-of-the-art features like an electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system, air suspension, lockable center differential, a gearbox with a genuinely low-range transfer mode, and anti-roll bars that could be hydraulically-decoupled in difficult terrain. Someone on-scene during the birth of the Cayenne was Porsche development driver Walter Röhrl, who expressed his astonishment by saying "I thought they weren't serious. I was sure it couldn't manage these gigantic obstacles. But it did. That really impressed me.” Now 20-years later, Röhrl visits Porsche to see and feel all the Cayenne and Panamera generations in front of him in the pit lane of the Leipzig Experience Centre. Needless to say after experiencing the comfort, technology, and performance of the new models, Walter Röhrl extends a huge congratulations to the achievement of the development team at Porsche.
