Limited-run Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition priced

Having last year introduced the Platinum moniker for the Panamera, Porsche has now expanded the nomenclature to the Cayenne and Cayenne Coupe.

Essentially an appearance package, the Platinum’s exterior difference comprise 21-inch RS Spyder Design alloy wheels, black window surrounds, black tipped exhaust outlets and satin platinum finishes on the front air takes, the central rear LED light bar and on the Porsche letting.

In total, the Platinum’s colour palette spans seven hues; white, black, Carrera White Metallic, Jet Black Metallic, Mahogany, Moonlight Blue Metallic and Crayon.

On the specification front, the Platinum comes as standard with the Porsche Dynamic Light System, electric leather sport seats with the Porsche badge embroidered into the front and rear headrests, an analogue clock and panoramic roof, ambient lighting and the upgraded Bose surround-sound system.

Unique to the Platinum’s interior are Platinum Edition badged brushed aluminium door sills, textured aluminium inlays with silver trim pieces and seatbelts finished in Crayon.

For South Africa, the Platinum will be offered on the standard Cayenne, the Cayenne S and the Cayenne E-Hybrid as well as their coupe offshoots.

Outputs are unchanged from the standard models with the standard Cayenne and Cayenne Coupe making 250kW/450Nm from the turbocharged 3.0-litre V6, and the S 324kW/550Nm from the 2.9-litre bi-turbo V6.

The E-Hybrid meanwhile combines the former engine with a 100 kW electric for an unchanged combined output of 340kW/700Nm. Once again paired to each engine is an eight-speed Tiptronic gearbox.
