Why does the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Exist?! And why it’s just BETTER!

Cayenne Coupe Turbo!
With SUV Coupes, the question is always “Why does this exist?”. A similar question that was posed on the birth of an SUV made by the world’s prime sports car maker Porsche, “Why does this exist?”.
A question still asked today by many, but today I want to make the Case for why I think this Porsche SUV Coupe, is more Porsche in spirit than the estate version, and thus why the SUV Coupe makes more sense for Porsche’s brand than any other out there!
To understand where this has come from, we must first look back in the way only RBR can, with a look at the origins of the Cayenne.
We will start in 1992 when Porsche was in the verge of financial ruin, with only expensive 2 door sports cars to offer, and then the entry of radical new CEO Wendelin Wiedeking.
He was quoted as saying that Porsche must remain independent and have enough money for future developments: his most ambitious plan was to introduce the Porsche SUV.
And today we look at the 3rd gen in Coupé from. The car is based on the shared MLB platform shared with Audi, Bentley and the Urus we recently tested, but as we’ve seen with Macan vs the Q5, that sharing element means nothing to Porsche!
We explore all the changes of the new gen such as the new Tiptronic S 8 speed box, and the usual options of #Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control etc. But more crucially new additions such as rear wheel steer! Promoting Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to comment “Never before has it borrowed so much from the 911.”
This Turbo is a pure peteolhead car, powered by the 4.0 V8 Producing 540 BHP, 770 NM and a conservative 3.9 0-69!
As there is no new Cayenne diesel, we also look briefly at the E-Hybrid and even the Turbo S E Hybrid with 680BHP and 900NM of torque!
But should it exist when the estate is already here? We take a look at the design and even transform a 992 into an suv! Then push the car on the RBR test track!
Today we explore:
- 1992 - A grim year
- Entry of the New Porsche CEO
- The Boxster 986 and new 996
- Game changer - Porsche SUV
- The SUV that can tow an automaker
- First Gen Cayenne
- Second Gen Cayenne
- The Macan!
- Third Generation Cayenne #CayenneCoupe

Bro 9:04 editing skills are CRAZY thought I was trippin 🤣

[@tobiasbergholdt2167]

FINALLY, I have wanted to see this video for so long, thank you!

[@tobiasbergholdt2167]

Oh shit, You actually liked my comment. Not really sure what to do now

[@peter300pete]

I love your videos that make other models appear so we can make quick comparison and understand your explanation better, great visualization, keep up the good job, I subscribed

[@ymyone]

I love your previews and your great understanding of design. I own a white 2014 macan s like in this video and will go out on a limb and say that it’s one of the most beautiful modern car designs out there. Keep up your great work. Greetings from Queensland Australia.

[@fhq547]

Raz you deserve immense credit for this review. So many other reviews on it focussed on so much but the real differentiator of steering and handling both of which you addressed head on.

[@amjadislam1579]

Yo I love watching ur videos an ur animations are awesome bit quirky at times but great welldon keep up the great work

[@RemoveBeforeRace]

Thoughts guys? I think it makes more sense than the estate version, simply because it’s more in line with what I think a Porsche should look like! Here's the Panamera review link as promised by the way: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIbHioB8jtKLm8k More Porsche up soon, check my story highlights on Instagram for a full line up of next videos!! 😈 instagram.com/rokenr/

[@dash-ryan]

Absolutely, the best looking SUV coupe on the market. This is what the Cayenne should have been from day-one, IMHO.

[@antoniok4735]

Great video you deserve way more subs the video editing the sound effects everything is perfect the information presented is very good. Please add more shots from the back seats and the trunk layout for your next videos. Keep up the good work. There is no link in the description for the New Panamera. Please add it.

[@stephenlane9127]

Nice review Raz. Thank you for doing the Porsche content. I appreciate it and whilst I daily drive Merc AMGs I’m looking to move to a Porsche’s for their build, engineering excellence and less mass market volume. Great cars

[@lotsofcurveslover]

As usual, another excellent, high-quality review. You are one of the best out there.

[@sanzen1234]

Really amazing channel I love the history and research gone into these videos.

[@enlilannunaki9064]

Yet another amazing review, you guys are at the top of the game!

[@limpunsing224]

I never appreciated "coupé" on SUVs but this Cayene coupé has grown on me It is the most gorgeous in the segment Nice review

[@moureennabwire2489]

it. is. not. funny

[@moureennabwire2489]

Haaah

[@thesoundofthesuburbs]

I think the Q8 is prettier.

[@Rd.b]

Great history lesson about Porsche with relevant images, well done👌how can someone not love this brand? Porsche you rock 🏆👊

[@hertzair1186]

The Cayenne is the most important vehicle Porsche ever made...it literally saved the 911 let alone the company.

[@aimxdy8680]

Actually the Boxster did.

[@Mikey888888888]

Nice car and nicely produced video, thx :)

[@sabfit4life277]

Another fantastic review Raz! With you doing some sponsorships I hope you are aware of the recent hackers so please be careful!! 🔥👌

[@Thatcardude207]

I dont understand why you have so little subscribers? your videos are high quality and are fun to watch.

[@johnomahoney7755]

Your reviews are the best! Thanks

[@blaaldin]

Sounds a little like the c7 RS6 - excellent video too, very informative.

[@Flyin_k]

the way its flashes to show up every model in white is so brilliant, much easy to compare with each model. thank you for your efforts

[@shammaharaj1967]

Awesome reviews...keep up the great work...but can we see... some shootouts...drag races...side by side comparisons...

[@MRVSKIN]

Absolutely superb video. They have done a great job on this. I wouldn’t normally think a coupe version of an SUV would work. But this does. The only thing for me. I think if they had dropped the headlights a little lower further making it more distinctive from the normal cayenne. It would look so much more aggressive. Otherwise a great great car

[@evycmd]

Loved the actual testing, very informative and because you were seated and not standing you weren’t able to sway back and forth which was hugely distracting in the first part.

[@781mm]

Man the best ever channel for cars!!!! GG

[@ssakkina]

really great presentation. i watch lot of your videos, but first time I am commenting. Really great job. I am in the market to buy one right now...so very helpful and spot on to watch

[@MrCVJ88]

Fantastic video, very knowledgeable 👍🏽

[@mphoramudzwagi7292]

I felt like I am in a lecture hall, your videos are so cool

[@john2357]

Lamborghini is owned by Audi, which in turn is owned by VW, whereas Porsche is owned directly by VW - I think that explains why the Urus is basically an RSQ8 with a Bull-badge, while the Cayenne Coupé is more pure Porsche in terms of both interior and exterior design.

[@attacus08]

Massive thanks for the very competent review.

[@nsanef]

Love the videos as ever but.... sack the cameraman!! 😂 the camera focus was so off I thought I needed spec saver!! Brilliant analysis as ever

[@jamespprunty]

This guys has the best car channel on KZbin. Keep them coming

[@roncho807]

The best review yet on this gorgeous car!! Well done!

[@luish777]

Of most of the reviews of this car this guy did a fantastic job explaining the differences of the options and what he feels.

[@erjatizineddine7585]

This car is brilliant. Best looking SUV

[@GY9944]

Bruh,your shopping/editing skills really set things apart. I mean 2:56 THAT’S PROPER WORK THERE

[@DanielSadjadian]

Honestly they've done a great job with the sound, considering all the strict regulations they have to comply with. Muscular rumble at low revs and a mostly thunderous growl at higher revs 🔥

[@christophergresco9677]

I just think it is under powered at this price point against the competition. The AMGs and Ms will have almost 100 more Hp.

[@moureennabwire2489]

Haaah this is. The end. of my. Life

[@hammerfall6666]

Does the regulations only affect in EU only or the world wide?

[@hamzab3659]

hammer fall only europe

[@rubioe3067]

I disagree, see Alfa Romeo! I,'m starting to think in the idea of most of the manufactures are giving the ball to the government and minwhile are starting to insert the electric cars on the roads, market, mountains (energy) etc.

[@rigoverdugo6995]

Great car. 🔥Great video 👍🏽

[@JUSTIZ4LL]

Excellent review!

[@elroz1675]

ok. This video answers my question about GLE 53 AMG coupe on your other video, in the Austrian Alps. Still, love that AMG 53 look!

[@francis5279]

Very good review. You have convinced me to buy the turbo.

[@romywebster7728]

That houndstooth pattern on the seats is lowkey nice AF

[@willrobinson4280]

Is this a Porsche with almost no buttons? I never thought I'd see the day! Love it. Is that a check engine light on? LOL.

[@alianshasi6187]

That was the 2nd generation Cayenne, not the 1st generation launched in early 2000s. Still undoubtedly one of the best car channels on the net.

[@DanielSadjadian]

It's a stunning SUV, love it so much more as a coupé, can't wait to see how it compares to the upcoming GLE63S Coupé 🔥

[@KUROSHURA]

Daniel Sadjadian have you seen it in person? That’s also where I want to base my assessment.

[@DanielSadjadian]

@@KUROSHURA Yes I have. My local Porsche dealership has one, it looks amazing!

[@christophergresco9677]

Agreed, I saw a black one in San Diego. It is beautiful.

[@nstv23]

I am torn between these too choices. Money is not a problem and I don’t know what to get to my daily driver.

[@moureennabwire2489]

I don't. like. it

[@TheFedosso]

Bro you're getting in very good shape keep going!

[@mihailm1495]

you missed the actual 1st gen cayenne with the 2nd one facelift lol

[@michalgondolewski8709]

Great review, very factual and detailed. The looks however are subjective. I for instance loved the Cayenne from the very first generation. It was just different than all other SUVs. It was mega on the road and very capable off road as well. The front end did in fact resemble the 911 turbo of that era.

[@willotoole4118]

Great looking and a great informative review on the new SUC (SPORTS UTILITY COUPE) and keep up the great videos and content RBR.

[@logcabins8258]

Why does this KZbin channel exists? And why doesn't it have more subscribers? Awesome review.

[@elroz1675]

quite a nice review! So how would you chose between this Turbo Coupe and the GTS Coupe? How large is the handling difference?

[@paulhenner8914]

Good Question

[@CharlieboySLONDON]

Best looking SUV for me ! Love it.

[@davye2632]

Just a great review of a special SUV

[@SignoPanino]

Great video! I can’t wait to see you jump into the new Macan Turbo 2.9L and hear your thoughts.

[@pinkcitrus98]

Been waiting some time for an RBR video. 😩

[@AM-kz9do]

Well presented

[@JMji23]

I was fronting but before the video ends I turned into a dreamer who want the car like right NOW!!!!

[@ejsgarage]

I love my 500 horsepower Porsche Cayenne Turbo. It is an awesome daily drive, I enjoy the driving experience.

[@seanchue]

I love your videos, however cant seem to find a review on range rover sport. Would be great to do one.

[@moathahmed322]

I'm in love with this car i want one so baddd

[@hashimkay140]

8:35 i see a w124 tucked away, is that a 500E?

[@J_Starr007]

It's gorgeous and by far the best looking suv-coupe imo.... I think I'd take this over the regular Cayenne..

[@DanielSadjadian]

You're right about the design, it's more 911 than just a large Porsche. Just like how the new Taycan looks and drives like a bigger 911, not a Panamera.

[@mmh1197]

Well done!

[@cosmorexgroupltd7368]

When will you test the turbo s hybrid

[@nevarran]

It's good to have those monstrosities every now and then, that way one gets to appreciate the AMG brand even more ;)

[@langley241]

shame there isn't an opening sunroof, coupe and standard turbo is the way to go

[@C.Fel.]

For a SUV Coupé it looks all right. But I think the Q8 do does it best in this segment

[@gherasimtibi]

the big question is, how did u fit in them pants?

[@saints9577]

HAHAHAHAHA What a weird fit :-)

[@danI43541]

Looks so brutal and the sound is amazing! I hope the new RS6 will sound like this... SUV coupes may be marmite but this one is really cool and this shame weirdly suits the Cayenne

[@andychang7137]

Like your reivews one little comment maybe try to keep in the lane when taking the video first it's safer for others secondly, we could see how the car really moves if we follow the lane Keep it up, great review

[@SupercarsinGreece]

The rear is insane! Very nice review!

[@yalerosner1059]

Love it! Sounds like a NASCAR...looks like a 992.

[@myb1161]

@5:06 What? That's just your opinion. The 2007 Cayenne model was the best looking SUV of its time. In fact, it's an iconic SUV. No wonder sales took off.

[@chilled99]

Hard to pick between the Q8 (and Q3 Coupe), the Urus, the Cayenne for design. Mercedes and especially BMW need to try harder to perfect their SUV coupe proportions

[@adamadam6351]

Stunning!

[@Hedges82]

Hoping out a 2018 s63 sedan and pre-ordered fully loaded cayenne turbo coupe

[@agustinliden6189]

Mums i need to buy one i love the sound

[@mdjak3686]

Why does this fine gentleman not have a million subs?

[@noahlugobaseballandboxing7015]

It sounds great I like everything about this except the price it's amazing what companies are doing with SUVs and I don't like anything but coupes.

[@ashwinwalvekar]

Superb

[@ibrahimalmotawa967]

So which one you prefer cayenne coupe or GLE 63S coupe?

[@jeffreydiaz7833]

Im going to get one!

[@superdiver.]

How do you position grand tourismo then?

[@weirdshibainu]

Porsche nailed the scale and proportion of this coupe

[@TobiasHenreich]

Best looking SUV Coupé currently!

[@amrens3187]

Great video as usual Raz!! - Still cannot get over meeting you earlier this week at Apple🙈 (@thecarchat_uk on Insta)

[@shayshay3701]

I like the orange sub at 9:05 more...

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

The Cayenne is a real tour de force. You cannot fault its mechanicals. The inside is lovely. It also looks good from the side view, rear 3/4's and the rear view. But that front end? Hmmm... The headlight design just does not work on this SUV. Unlike they do with other Porsches.

[@paulhenner8914]

QUESTION...............I am thinking of getting a Cayenne GTS ......Is the rear wheel steering worth the $$$$..............for normal driving ? ?

[@bigad5494]

Top video

[@noonenooo2843]

It’s beautiful 😍

[@robrodriguez4866]

Can these be lowered electronically like you can with Audi?

[@ambassadoroftruth99]

Yes it can, but you can’t control the air suspension from the boot.

[@vincentcollins1017]

This car is 🔥🔥🔥

[@xFaLLeNy0]

The old Cayenne you displayed is the 08’ model, which I personally think looks rather good. The first model on the other hand.. Rather hideous.

[@Happylifebyh]

how does he doe this edit?

[@seanreddy7268]

I’m worried those who are first timers to not only the channel but Porsche cars will think the 991.2 GT3RS is the 918 because of the timing of the cut-shot and what he said at that exact moment. Anyone else ? I’m sorry, weird shit keeps me up at night 😂

[@MrAlpinab7]

Haha, great intro ! F. electric!!!

[@isobrontchoa5111]

What is ur personal take on this and the macan

[@chrispreymak]

I was so into the cayenne then you went and flashed that porsche 911 and I was like oh I donno

[@guillermovitalis5864]

Biggest question is am I able to get 2 sets of golf clubs in the boot? Much easier decision if so.
