Porsche has pulled the cover off the Cayenne Coupé Electric at Auto China 2026 in Beijing, and its output is wild enough to make a 911 Turbo owner pause mid-coffee. In Turbo (turbo… what turbo?!) form, the new electric SUV-coupe makes up to 850 kW, or 1,156 metric horsepower, making it the most powerful production Porsche ever. Acceleration is equally shocking – 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds. Orders are open now, with U.S. deliveries expected in summer 2026. Porsche’s New Power King Is An SUV PorscheThe strangest part is not that Porsche built a four-figure-horsepower EV. It is that the car wearing the crown is a Cayenne.For years, the 911 sat at the center of Porsche mythology. Then the Taycan proved the brand could make an EV feel properly quick. Now the Cayenne Coupé Electric Turbo steps over both with numbers that sound like they escaped from a tuner shop.The Turbo model makes 857 hp in normal driving, then jumps to 1,156 hp when Launch Control wakes everything up. Porsche also gives it a Push-to-Pass function that adds 176 hp for 10 seconds. All versions use dual motors and all-wheel drive. The base Cayenne Coupé Electric makes 442 hp with overboost, while the S climbs to 666 hp. Even the “slow” one reaches 62 mph in 4.8 seconds, which used to count as serious sports-car speed not very long ago. The S drops that time to 3.8 seconds. The Clever Stuff Matters More Than The Roofline PorscheThe Coupé shares its main hardware with the regular Cayenne Electric, including an 800-volt electrical system and a large 113-kWh battery pack. Porsche says the car can charge at up to 390 kW, and even touch 400 kW under ideal conditions. That allows a 10-to-80-percent charge in about 16 minutes when the charger, battery temperature, and planets all cooperate.The chassis tech also deserves attention. Adaptive air suspension comes standard, while rear-axle steering is available across the range. The S and Turbo can add Porsche Active Ride, an electrohydraulic system that fights body roll and keeps the big SUV flatter through corners. There is also a neat motorsport link buried in the powertrain. Porsche uses direct oil cooling for the rear motor in the Turbo to help it deliver strong output more often, not just once for a launch party trick. The Cayenne Electric can also recover up to 600 kW under braking, and Porsche says the motors can handle about 97 percent of everyday braking without leaning on the friction brakes. The Shape Is Slick, Not Just Stylish PorscheFrom the nose, the Coupé looks close to the standard Cayenne Electric. The real change starts behind the windshield. Porsche gives it a more swept roof, a specific windshield, a flush rear window, and an adaptive rear spoiler. The company says the look takes inspiration from the 911’s roof arc, though nobody will confuse this nearly 16.4-foot SUV for a Carrera in a parking garage.The slippery body brings real gains. Porsche quotes a drag coefficient of 0.23, down from 0.25 for the regular SUV. That helps boost WLTP range by up to 18 kilometers compared with the standard body, depending on the model. The Coupé also sits 24 mm lower, which gives it a more planted stance without turning it into a cargo-space disaster.PorschePracticality survives the haircut. The rear cargo area offers 534 to 1,347 liters of space, and the frunk adds another 90 liters. Porsche also keeps a tow rating of up to 7,716 pounds, so the most powerful Porsche ever can still drag a trailer. That is ridiculous in the best possible way.U.S. pricing starts at $116,150 for the Cayenne Coupé Electric, rises to $133,550 for the S, and reaches $170,350 for the Turbo before options. Knowing Porsche, “before options” does a lot of work in that sentence.Source: Porsche
