KUALA LUMPUR: To highlight the versatility of the locally assembled Cayenne, Porsche Malaysia has teamed up with creative duo and powerhouse couple, Shalma Ainaa and Wan Imar Izzat.
“I’m always on the move. From brand shoots to running my lifestyle label, I need a companion that keeps pace — and one that can carry everything from mannequins to fabric rolls. That’s why the Cayenne fits so naturally into my life,” shares Shalma.
A designer who helms the fashion brand SHALS, Shalma moves between creative sessions, fittings, and fast-paced days.
She values how the Cayenne adapts seamlessly — refined enough for everyday drives, yet powerful enough to feel special every time she takes the wheel.
“The design is timeless. I’ve driven many generations of the Cayenne, and it has always performed like a sports car SUV should. As an architect, I appreciate the strong design language of the Cayenne – instantly recognisable as a Porsche, always commanding attention”, shared Wan Imar, an architect with an impeccable love for design.
The Cayenne is powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6, delivering 353PS and 500Nm of torque.
Fitted with the Exclusive Manufaktur Package, the Cayenne showcases a more distinctive, sportier presence.
From the Sport Design front apron with its pronounced air intakes and C-blades, to the Sport Design side sill panels and wheel arch trims painted in matching body colour to a Sport Design roof spoiler, partially finished in high-gloss black, adds contrast, while the rear lower section with diffuser reinforces the Cayenne’s sporty look.
A subtle detail completes the experience: integrated exit courtesy lights in both the driver and passenger doors project an illuminated white ‘PORSCHE’ logo onto the ground.
When Shalma takes an unexpected detour — part paved, part loose gravel, it’s spontaneous, but she knows the Cayenne easily adapts.
With the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) which comes as standard, the Cayenne constantly adjusts damping for stability and comfort.
The Malaysian-assembled Cayenne is further enhanced with an elevated standard equipment package.
Features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Sport Chrono Package, soft-close doors, and preparation for rear seat entertainment enhance both comfort and convenience.
Meanwhile, a second Cayenne, driven by Shalma enters their lives - the Cayenne S E-Hybrid Coupe, delivering high levels of luxury, dynamic performance and efficiency.
Taking up the iconic silhouette of the 911, the design impressively emphasises the sportiness of the coupé model.
Its mix of electric serenity and the strength of a V6 paired with a 130kW motor gives it a presence that feels intentional and quietly powerful.
With 519PS of power, the Cayenne S E-Hybrid Coupé combines the dynamic demands of the Cayenne S with the progressive drive concept of the Cayenne E-Hybrid.
The locally assembled Cayenne is priced at RM599,999 and the Cayenne S E-Hybrid is available for RM728,000.
