class=\"speakable\">Porsche built a convertible version of the Cayenne SUV once, and you have to see it to believe it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">The automaker has revealed the concept vehicle for the first time as part of the SUV&#8217;s 20th anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n<p>The two-door design study was one of several alternate takes on the Cayenne that were under consideration, which included a coupe and stretched three-row model.<\/p>\n<p>The convertible was the only one that got turned into metal, however, and the result is unusual, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>PORSCHE SALUTES
