Cayenne Coupe Order

Cayenne Coupe Order





Seems to be the fashionable thing to post a spec. My build locks in about a month so can still adjust. Im a lunatic for specing like this (bloated build) I know but will be my wifes car with me occasionally driving it. So we didnt need turbo power but do need something interesting because shes coming from a 2017 panamera with air suspension, premium package, and turbo wheels in carmine red. She wanted a change with some utility and we almost went sport turismo but found this more appealing at a lesser price point. Open to comments and suggestions. Porsches, an air cooled 911 and a 991.2 GT3 so we wanted something for her that suited our more eccentric tastes. I still cant believe they let you spec this much Carbon on a base model, and with houndstooth. Open to comments and suggestions. Looks great. I was gonna suggest getting the tailpipes in black but it seems you already checked that. The configurator was showing silver. Wow bloated build is right! Good for you. I love the look.





BTW, and only since you mentioned the ST, and that your build isn't locked (which I assume means your order can be cancelled) did you look at the many still-new 2018 Sport Turismos in stock around the country? New 4S's can be had for well under your build price, and low-mileage Turbos for about the same price. If you can find a build similar to what you'd otherwise want, it's maybe another way to go. Don't get me wrong though, your Coupe looks great! I did look at Sport Turismos in existing stock around the country. In fact Ive been watching these for the last few months as my wifes lease pull ahead is coming up. The problem is always the spec. Shes particular about a few things, most of all color, she has Carmine red now. She always wants Carmine or sapphire. She finds many of the existing builds 聯boring.聰 For sure, nothing grey, silver, white, or black will do.





So all that leaves is special order. There are a few in these colors around, but nothing in 4S or e hybrid with an interior scheme she likes. To make a long story short, the ST conversation has been ongoing for months if not over a year. On a whim I showed her the cayenne coupe. She got super excited, and we went and drove a base cayenne to get a feel. Well, she drove while I hung out at the dealer. She loves the drive, the color, and the houndstooth. I save money over the other 140-150k ST options she would have liked. Sorry for the long explanation but thats how we got here. I did look at Sport Turismos in existing stock around the country.
