"With over 1,000 lb-ft of torque on tap on the Turbo version, the Cayenne EV should be immensely capable off the beaten track. The Porsche Cayenne is not exactly the car you expect to see on a trail in Moab, and the newly revealed electric version of the popular SUV is no different. That said, Porsche is adamant that the battery-powered flagship can tackle off-road trips with ease and that it's much better at it than its gas-powered counterpart."
"This is great news for anybody who has at least $120,000 to spend on an electric SUV and access to a desert. With up to 1,140 horsepower and 1,106 pound-feet of torque on the top-spec Turbo version, the electric Cayenne can surely skedaddle when the driver pushes hard on the accelerator, with the official figures quoting a zero-to-62 miles per hour sprint in just 2.5 seconds."
The Porsche Cayenne Electric combines high-output electric propulsion with off-road capability, with the Turbo variant producing up to 1,140 horsepower and 1,106 pound-feet of torque. Extensive simulation and verification work occurred at Porsche's Weissach development center, followed by desert testing in the United Arab Emirates. Instant electric torque enables precise, adjustable power delivery for climbing dunes and managing loose terrain, yielding superior performance compared with the internal-combustion Cayenne. The top-spec Turbo accelerates from zero to 62 mph in about 2.5 seconds. Pricing for the electric Cayenne starts around $120,000, positioning it as a premium electric SUV.
