The Cayenne S Electric stands out not only through its model-specific design, but also through its all-wheel-drive system delivering 400kW (544PS) – rising to 490kW (666PS) with launch control. Positioned between the Cayenne Electric and the range-topping Cayenne Turbo Electric, it bridges performance and everyday usability within the line-up.
The Porsche Cayenne S Electric accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 3.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of up to 250km/h. Its combined WLTP range is up to 653km. Like the other two current Cayenne Electric models, the S variant features a high-voltage battery with a gross energy capacity of 113kWh, which, at up to 400kW at a suitable fast-charging station, can be charged from 10% to 80% state of charge (SoC) in 16 minutes.
Direct oil cooling
The drive system, which features one permanent magnet synchronous motor on both the front and rear axle, delivers a system output of 400kW (544PS), or up to 490kW (666PS) with Launch Control. Like the Cayenne Turbo, the Cayenne S uses direct oil cooling for the rear-axle electric motor. Unlike with conventional electric motors, the heat is dissipated directly from the current-carrying components. The pulse inverter on the rear axle uses silicon carbide as a semiconductor material and processes currents of up to 620 amps.
Differentiating style
The Cayenne S Electric is characterized by model-specific front and rear aprons in Volcano Grey Metallic, while the inserts and diffuser are painted in the body color. The exterior styling is rounded off by 20-inch Cayenne S Aero wheels; optional equipment available for the Cayenne S that was previously reserved only for the Turbo model.
