- Porsche is working on an even more extreme Cayenne Coupe.
- New Turbo GT variant has been spied with a sizable rear spoiler.
- Upcoming model could have a dual-motor AWD system with 1,200+ hp.
Porsche introduced the Cayenne Coupe Electric lineup earlier this year, and it consists of three different variants. There’s the entry-level Coupe with 435 hp (325 kW / 442 PS), a mid-level S Coupe packing 657 hp (490 kW / 666 PS), and a Turbo Coupe generating an impressive 1,139 hp (850 kW / 1,156 PS).
The Cayenne Coupe family is known for having an even more extreme Turbo GT variant. The gas-powered model starts at $214,800, and it appears the company is working on a fully electric counterpart.

Briefly spied during the unloading process, the model follows in the footsteps of the Cayenne Turbo Coupe Electric. The front end appears to carry over untouched, but it’s possible there could be some minor changes hiding beneath the white plastic.
Further back, we can see lightweight wheels with a gloss black finish. They eschew the aerodynamic design that comes standard on the regular model.
Speaking of the wheels, they appear to be backed up by a carbon ceramic braking system with black calipers. They’re a $10,900 option on the Cayenne Turbo Coupe Electric.

Elsewhere, we can see gloss black accents on the door handles and mirror caps. There are also blank side sills, which will presumably wear “Turbo GT” badging on the road-going model.
The most noticeable change resides out back, where the crossover has been equipped with a sizable rear spoiler. Plastic wrap also hides the diffuser, which could hint at a unique design for the range-topping variant.

Powertrain details are mysterious, but we can expect a 113 kWh battery pack that powers an upgraded dual-motor all-wheel drive system. Since the regular model produces up to 1,139 hp (850 kW / 1,156 PS) and 1,106 lb-ft (1,498 Nm) of torque, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Turbo GT eclipses 1,200 hp (895 kW / 1,217 PS).
Regardless of the final number, the upcoming crossover coupe should be able to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in less than 2.4 seconds. We can also likely expect a top speed in excess of 162 mph (261 km/h).
