When the first Porsche Cayenne rolled off the assembly line, many were questioning as to what Porsche was thinking venturing into SUV territory. Well, many years later, the Porsche Cayenne seems to be a popular choice among the wealthy, it has even gained a following with the after market tuning crowd.
The latest company to attempt rhinoplasty on the Cayenne is Russian
outfit Status Design, whose grilled and gilled design is a radical
departure from the standard SUV. Looking a bit like a Cayenne that's
swallowed a handful of Ferrari Enzo front clips, this Status Design
effort has all manner of vents and inlets which hopefully enable better
breathing – check out the NACA duct on the nose. There's also an
assortment of other changes, including a pair of odd flying
buttress-like extensions below the rear-most pillar and some
retro-minded color scallops on the side. It's certainly a unique and
eye-catching look – whether that's a good thing is up to you.
In
any case, while the Moscow Cayenne is just a rendering at this state, a
production version is expected this Fall, complete with carbon-fiber
and plastic construction, along with some LED garnishes that look
rather familiar.
