2021 Porsche Cayenne Coupe GT Spied – Or Is It The GTS?

Porsche will soon expand its Cayenne Coupe lineup with another model and sources claim that it might be called either the GT or the GTS.

Depending on how they’re approaching the matter, we could be looking at the Panamera GTS’ powertrain being employed into the Cayenne Coupe GTS.

This means a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 460 PS (454 HP / 338 kW) and 620 Nm (457 lb-ft) of torque, matched to an eight-speed auto and all-wheel drive. The output would place it between the 440 PS (434 HP / 324 kW) Cayenne S Coupe and 550 PS (542 HP / 404 kW) Cayenne Turbo Coupe.

Another rumor speaks about the GT, which could slot under the 680 PS (670 HP / 500 kW) Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe plug-in hybrid with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8.

There is certainly enough room between the 542 HP Cayenne Turbo and the 670 HP Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid for the GT to slot in, but beyond that, we wouldn’t expect a new range-topper for the simple fact that it would step on the toes of the 650 PS (641 HP / 478 kW) Lamborghini Urus.

As the latest spy shots revealed, the Cayenne Coupe GT/GTS will feature a centrally mounted exhaust system, with big oval pipes. The fake tailpipe trim will be phased off when the crossover premieres, probably in the coming months, but other than that, it looks pretty much like the Turbo variant.

So, what do you think Porsche is prepping for the Cayenne Coupe with this prototype scooped at the Nurburgring?
