Porsche has unveiled an all-electric version of its Cayenne Coupe SUV in three variants, with the most powerful producing up to 1,139 horsepower — a figure that would make it the most powerful production vehicle the company has ever built.
The Cayenne Coupe Electric lineup comprises the base Cayenne Coupe Electric at $113,800, the Cayenne S Coupe Electric at $131,200, and the Cayenne Turbo Coupe Electric at $168,000, all before a $2,350 delivery fee. The vehicles are expected to go on sale in late summer, according to TechCrunch.
Across all three trims, Porsche equipped the lineup with 800-volt powertrains, air suspension, a redesigned windshield, and an adaptive rear spoiler integrated into a shared roofline. Standard across every variant is an NACS port — the connector Tesla $TSLA popularized — paired with a separate AC charging port. When plugged into a compatible charger, the battery can accept power at up to 400 kW — fast enough to go from 10 to 80 percent capacity in about 16 minutes under optimal conditions, according to Engadget. Early real-world range testing is in line with about 360 miles on a single charge, according to TechCrunch.
The variants differ substantially in output. Output for the entry-level model is rated at 435 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque; it tops out at 143 mph and needs 4.5 seconds to reach 60 mph from a standstill. The Turbo Coupe Electric, at the other end of the spectrum, is rated at 1,139 horsepower and 1,106 pound-feet of torque, with a 2.4-second sprint to 60 mph and a 162-mph ceiling. The two sources cite slightly different horsepower figures for the Turbo variant — TechCrunch reports 1,139 hp while Engadget reports 1,156 hp with overboost.
A slinkier profile — roughly an inch closer to the ground than the standard Cayenne Electric — helps the Coupe achieve a drag coefficient of 0.23, Engadget reports. Cargo provisions include a 3.2-cubic-foot front trunk, and the cabin accommodates four passengers.
The interior is anchored by a wide display that runs across the dash toward the passenger-side vent, complemented by an AR heads-up display and driver-configurable digital graphics. Buyers can also add a panoramic roof whose electrochromic glass dims on demand.
The electric Coupe will be sold alongside gas-powered and hybrid Cayenne variants, with Porsche indicating it plans to offer multiple fuel types in the Cayenne lineup well beyond 2030, according to TechCrunch. Porsche notes that the coupe configuration, first offered on the gas-powered Cayenne in 2019, now accounts for four in ten Cayenne sales globally.
