With up to 1139 horsepower, the 2026 Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric is the most powerful Porsche ever made. It only takes 2.4 seconds to reach 60 mph. The battery is built into the design, which makes it shorter and lighter overall. All versions have an 800-volt construction and a net capacity of 108 kWh. The third-generation Cayenne with an internal combustion engine will be available alongside the fourth-generation model. Today, Porsche showed off two versions of the 2026 Cayenne Electric: the Cayenne Electric, as the name suggests, and the high-performance Cayenne Turbo Electric. Most of the air in the room was sucked out by the Turbo’s immense power. Once the car company said it had “over 1000 horsepower,” they weren’t joking. It was true that the Turbo had 1139 horsepower and 1106 pound-feet of torque. This is, without a question, the most powerful Porsche that has ever been made. It is said to go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds and a quarter mile in 9.9 seconds. The most current Cayenne Turbo GT we tested went from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and crossed the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 121 mph. The normal Cayenne Electric, on the other hand, seems less loud. It has 435 horsepower and takes 4.5 seconds to reach 60 mph, which is almost twice as long. Porsche says it can go a quarter-mile in 13.2 seconds, about the same time as a Cayenne S with gas engines. Not bad at all. All Cayennes come with a two-chamber, two-valve air suspension with PASM, but you can also get Porsche’s amazing Active Ride suspension. The base car comes with 20-inch wheels and tires, but you can upgrade to 22-inch wheels and tires. Even though the Turbo has 22-inch wheels, you can choose Pirelli P Zero R tires that are a little bigger. The Turbo’s electric motors are also more powerful and come with direct oil cooling and a locked rear differential as standard. The Cayenne Turbo Electric can also recover up to 600 kW of power when it stops, meaning the electric motors do 97% of the work required to stop. There is no word on the range yet, but all models will use the same 800-volt battery pack with a 108 kWh capacity. It is rare for chargers in the United States to handle 400 kW of power. The car has a North American Charging Standard (NACS) or Tesla charge port on the left side, but the SAE Combo converter that comes with it may be better for getting the fastest charge, which Porsche says takes less than 16 minutes to go from 10% to 80% full. When a Tesla charger is used directly, it delivers 200 kW, which is a little slower. For charging at home, the J1772 plug on the right side of the car can deliver 11 kW, and Porsche offers a special charging pad you can drive over.
