The New Cayenne Electric: Two worlds. One Legend.
)
There are moments when a name already engraved in the legend dares to rewrite its own destiny. It is rare for a model to change the course of history twice. Yet the Porsche Cayenne is poised to do exactly that once again.
In 2002, it silenced every doubt by proving that an SUV could embody power, sportiness and versatility without compromising the essence of Porsche. It was a defining moment, a clear reminder that Porsche does not follow roads, it creates them. The Cayenne opened an entirely new territory by transferring the legend of Porsche sports cars to a segment that never expected it, and becoming an instant global success.
Twenty-four years later, that original audacity returns in an entirely new form with the first all-electric Cayenne. It is now the most powerful Porsche production model ever built, while being more versatile than ever: incisive on the road, confident off-road and remarkably comfortable on long distances.
The most powerful Porsche ever built
The Cayenne Electric marks the beginning of a new era for Porsche, one in which electric performance reaches its pinnacle. The range is based on two models: the Cayenne Electric and the Cayenne Turbo Electric, both equipped with all-wheel drive electronic Porsche Traction Management (ePTM), ensuring exemplary traction regardless of terrain or conditions. The entry-level version already impresses with 442 horsepower (325 kW) and 835 Nm, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and reaching 230 km/h with launch control.
However, it is the Cayenne Turbo Electric, now the most powerful production Porsche ever built, that truly pushes the boundaries. It combines sporting DNA with pioneering technology, delivering up to 1,139 horsepower (850 kW) and 1,500 Nm of torque for 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h in just 7.4 seconds with launch control.
This power is made possible by an all-new electric powertrain. On the Turbo version, direct oil cooling of the rear motor is integrated, an innovation from motorsport that ensures continuous power and remarkable efficiency, even during repeated acceleration or under heavy load. The “Push-to-Pass” mode, standard on the Turbo, adds up to 173 horsepower (130 kW) for approximately ten seconds, providing an instant boost, ideal for overtaking.
