Porsche Cayenne: Almost a coupe!

Monday, October 16, 2006

If you're bored with your Porsche Cayenne, then why not convert it into a 2 door SUV/Coupe!

What do you get when you take a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, chop off two doors, revamp most of the exterior, and create a luxurious new interior with the latest technology? The DC STAR, a concept vehicle created by Indian coachbuilders DC Design and available through custom order for around €300,000 (US$375K). Though it was shown by DC Design some time ago, these are the first high-res images we’ve been able to get our hands on.

Despite the lack of two doors, the underlying mechanics and wheelbase of the Cayenne Turbo S remain the same, so this is not a speed beast like Cayenne’s modded by German tuners. Instead, DC Design have focused heavily on the aesthetics by developing new front and rear lighting (including optics, bezel and lens), as well as new bumpers and grills. There’s also a new spoiler on the rear.
