The new model will be called the Cajun and differs from the Cayenne, as it is not only smaller but also cheaper as well – we can here you getting excited at that prospect already.

What is also interesting about the new SUV is the rumors that it could be built in China, much like its sister company does with the Audi Q5. The New York Times has reported on a recent article from Focus, a German magazine, which said that the Porsche CEO said that the current factory in Stuttgart would be unable to cope with the production of the new SUV.

However, we have also learned that it will just not be the Cajun but other models that could be built in China as well. Let us hope that health and safety standards will be up to scratch, its one thing having issues with companies that make phones, but the auto industry is much more life threatening if something was to go wrong.

Looking at some renderings that we found on Top Speed, you can clearly see a relation between the Cajun SUV and the Cayenne. The issue we have is that the Cayenne is like Marmite; you either love it or hate it. I do not want to say what camp I am in, but an SUV should be made to go on off-road, and the Porsche SUV and others like it are not.

Do you think that Porsche should continue to make SUVs, or should they go back to basics? However, they did try to do both with the Merdad Porsche Cayenne.

If so then you will be pleased to know that UK tuning company Merdad have been let lose and now offers a two-door version. That’s not all; the engine has also seen an engine performance bump, which now pushes out 740 horsepower.

There have been a number of tuned versions of the Porsche Cayenne, such as DC and Xenatech – but none compare to this. The aggressive body kit certainly looks much better than two rear doors and that extra 250hp gets the vehicle to 60 in little under 4.4 seconds.

Michael Gauthier from WorldCarFans makes a good point when he says, “Aggressive styling, limited practicality.” That new body kit will see a revision to its fascias, side skirts and its wheels will be much larger than standard.

There is no pricing or release date available for the Merdad Porsche Cayenne yet. More images can be found on the Merdad website.
