Default Cayenne coupe Kit ????

I went to Dubai car show and i was shocked when i saw this Cayenne.
the girl over there told me that this Car kit will turn your cayenne to a 2 door SUV and a weight will be decreased to about 8 % from the total weight ..
Company: DC STAR
Price: almost 300,000 $ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pimp is a four letter word. Just my opinion, of course.

To each their own, but I've never really understood things like that. If I didn't have kids and could practically own a two-door Porsche....I just don't see buying an 'SUV' and modding two doors out of it.

Warning: This is not aimed at any 1 race or ethnic group...but-

It's like the pickup trucks I see that have been lowered, smaller rims put on and the bed rendered useless with speakers and the such. I've always wondered if the thought process was: "Hmmmm, let's see. Let's take that truck and render any useful purpose it may serve obsolete by modding it. Yeah, sounds great!"

I too like it (save the rear). A waste of money..yes. "Pimped" - hardly. I do not think Xzibit, his crew or any other Balla had anything to do with this ride. This one is more "sheiked" than anything!

P.S. Maybe this could be the W.M.D. the morons of this administration were looking for but it was "smuggled" out at the onset of our unjustified invasion (it is only about 1395km staight shot from Baghdad to Dubai) and I imagine that since this version is lighter than the 4-dr it could make this distance in record time.

From a capitalist perspective, a product is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

This thread caught my eye & I it made me do a little digging.

Turns out that this is actually a concept vehicle and not just a kit. The manufacturer, DC Star, is attempting to gauge interest in the Middle East Gulf region custom car market.

I could not discover any information to the like, but I wonder if there are any uber engine modifications to go along with the revamped aesthetics.

Read about it:
