If you’re like most Americans, your daily routine serves merely as a minor distraction from the weight of life’s most pertinent and urgent question: How can I turn my Porsche Cayenne into a sweet-ass convertible, possibly including faux-wood paneling? Thanks to the efforts of California-based Newport Convertible Engineering, those with a spare Cayenne and a presumably tall stack of cash will no longer have to carry such a burden.
While images of both first- and second-generation Cayenne ragtops appear on NCE’s website, only the first-gen example gets the woody treatment. The second–gen conversion, which may be simply computer-generated teaser images, to us looks a bit like an engorged Golf cabriolet, what with it’s picnic-basket-handle targa bar, bustle-butt parade boot, and and rounded fascias. So if you’re a sorority girl less than a year from graduating from one of California’s finest universities, we suggest forwarding this story to Mom and Dad.
- Comparison Test: 2012 BMW X5 M vs. 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, 2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
- Comparison Test: 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel vs. 2013 Volkswagen Touareg TDI, 2013 Mercedes-Benz ML350 BlueTec, 2013 Porsche Cayenne Diesel, 2013 BMW X5 xDrive35d
- Instrumented Test: 2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS
C/D’s exposure to NCE dates all the way back to 2002, when we checked out the company’s PT Cruiser conversion and examined the SoCal-based shop’s conversion process. While we found that car to be somewhat compromised in the details, all things considered, it was a rather pleasurable experience.
