While it is common to come across Porsche Cayenne, the probability of stumbling upon a convertible version is much rarer. This body – which has never been officially offered by the manufacturer – is all the rage in the United States. A copy is precisely for sale.
Newport Convertible Engineering (NCE) is an American coachbuilder that was founded in 1983. His specialty? Convert luxury cars to convertibles and more specifically SUVs. If its transformations are now focused on Lamborghini Urus, Rolls-Royce Cullinan or Land Rover Range Rover, since the early 2000s, they also transform first and second generation Porsche Cayenne.
A Cayenne convertible for sale
Notice to amateurs, a model is precisely for sale on the Facebook social network. This Cayenne convertible, coming to recover in Texas, has accumulated 61,000 miles, or approximately 98,000 km. According to the announcement, this is a rare Transsyberia edition from 2010. It has only been sold to 600 copies. Its raised ground clearance you may have already put on the track. Special feature of this version: it receives the 405 hp 4.8L V8 petrol from the Cayenne GTS.
If the SUV has swapped its hard top for an electric black canvas soft top – and therefore lost its tailgate in the process – it has kept its 4 doors and 5 seats. The vehicle is dressed in matte black paint. Its 18 ” rims adopt a bronze color. To assert its style, the SUV receives tinted taillights. A convertible unlike any other that has known only two owners during its existence. He is listed for $ 45,000.
A Cayenne convertible designed by Porsche
If Porsche has never marketed a convertible SUV, unlike Nissan (Murano Cabriolet), Land Rover (Evoque convertible) or Volkswagen (T-Roc convertible), the idea has nonetheless crossed the minds of the teams of design. In 2002, a concept car was designed based on the very first Cayenne. The convertible vehicle then only has two-doors and a rear arch in the style of the 911 Targa remains present. This vehicle remained in silence for 15 years. It was not until 2017 that it was presented by the brand as part of a video on the unusual reserves of its museum.
