Porsche Cajun

When the Cayenne and Panamera were introduced, Porsche-philes groaned and proclaimed the destruction of their hallowed brand. Now, a few years on, both cars are selling as fast as they can be manufactured. Given that, it should come as no surprise that Porsche has been working on a new small utility vehicle, the Cajun—a contraction of the words “Cayenne Junior.”
Based on a chassis similar to the Audi Q5’s, the Cajun will be offered in a 5-door configuration, although a 3-door is possible. Unlike the Q5, the Cajun will be focused on being a “driver’s” mini-ute, and will feature a lower ride height, larger and wider wheels, and a clean-sheet interior that reflects the fittings in the Cayenne. Powering the car will likely be the 211-bhp 2.0-liter TFSI engine sourced from Audi, but retuned to 265 bhp. A V-6 engine option is also a good possibility. A forthcoming Cajun S perhaps? We’d like to think so.
