Porsche Cayenne S Electric breaks cover with 657 hp; India launch likely

Porsche has added a new S variant to its Cayenne Electric line-up globally. The Cayenne S Electric sits between the standard Cayenne Electric and the range-topping Cayenne Turbo Electric.

More power than the standard model

The new variant uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup producing 536 hp. With Launch Control activated, output temporarily rises to 657 hp. Porsche claims a 0–100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h.

Power comes from the same 113 kWh high-voltage battery used in the other Cayenne Electric models. Porsche claims a WLTP range of up to 653 km. On a compatible high-speed DC charger, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in less than 16 minutes, with peak charging capability of up to 400 kW.

The powertrain uses permanent magnet synchronous motors on both axles. For the rear motor, Porsche employs direct oil cooling, which dissipates heat directly from the current-carrying components rather than through the motor housing. The rear axle pulse inverter uses silicon carbide semiconductors and can process currents of up to 620 amps.

Porsche has also announced a new Interior Style Package developed by Style Porsche for the Cayenne S Electric.
