Porsche unveils Cayenne Turbo Coupe as most powerful production vehicle
The Munich-based manufacturer’s latest offering accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds, though pricing for the tested Turbo model reaches $220,330.
Porsche has released the Cayenne Turbo Coupe, a dual-motor electric SUV that stands as the company’s most powerful and quickest production vehicle. Generating 1,139 horsepower and 1,106 lb-ft of torque, the vehicle accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds. The model utilises Formula E-derived cooling technology in its rear motor to maintain consistent power output, a design feature adapted from Porsche’s motorsport efforts in the world’s premier all-electric racing series.
The vehicle is equipped with a 113-kilowatt-hour battery pack capable of 400 kW peak charging. Porsche states the SUV can maintain high charging rates up to the 50 percent mark and does not drop below 250 kW until reaching 75 percent charge. This capability is supported by an optional wireless charging pad, which costs approximately $8,000 and charges at 11 kW, offering an automated identification system for home charging setups.
Pricing for the base electric Cayenne Coupe starts at $113,800, while the tested Turbo model reached $220,330 with options. The Turbo model includes exclusive active aerodynamics with extending vertical planes on the front bumper to aid efficiency. The Coupe variant features a coefficient of drag of 0.23, compared to 0.25 for the standard SUV shape, resulting in approximately 3 percent more range.
Interior features include a vertically oriented, curved 14.25-inch gauge cluster and a distinctively angled centre display with a padded wrist rest. An optional 14.9-inch passenger display supports video games and streaming services, with a privacy mode that blacks out the screen from the driver’s perspective. Cargo capacity behind the second row is reduced to 18.9 cubic feet in the Coupe variant.
Ride quality varies significantly by trim. The base model uses adaptive suspension which reviewers found harsh on bumpy roads, while the S and Turbo trims feature Porsche’s Active Ride suspension. This system, described as a game-changer for comfort and responsiveness, allows the vehicle to react instantly to road conditions, providing a sharper and more comfortable drive than the base configuration.
