From Alex on Autos.
The most powerful production Porsche of all time isn’t a 911, nor is it a sleek and sexy Taycan sedan. Nope, it’s the new all-electric Cayenne with 1,139 horsepower, capable of a blistering 2.4-second run to 60. And we all know that it’ll be faster because Porsche loves to underrate their vehicles, but we’ll have to wait to see how low it can go. In the meantime here’s what we know: It’s the same general size as the ICE Cayenne, which will continue on for 2026, as will the PHEV variant. This Cayenne, however is completely unrelated and the Turbo is completely unique. Using a next-generation high voltage battery and motor design, Porsche has built on the success of the Taycan’s EV driveline to make more power, offer better performance, faster charging (up to 400kW), and even more insane levels of regen and track capability. Porsche says that regen braking is now capable of recouping 600 kW of power, more than 7x what a Tesla is capable of, and that’s on top of the giant carbon ceramic brakes. There’s also wireless charging on offer and the ability to up-convert Supercharger power at the fastest rate we’ve seen yet. Tesla charging will still be slower than using an adapter at a CCS station (it’ll be native J3400/NACS), but extending your charge window to ~20-25 minutes from 15 minutes isn’t the biggest deal for most. Yep, 15 minutes. That’s how long this will take to get 10-80% (as long as the stars align) which will give you 245 miles of driving range. I don’t know about you, but I don’t mind stopping for a 15 minute stretch break every 250 miles…
