The Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric EV is set to have over 1,000hp when the SUV goes on sale to the public.

While the German manufacturer has realized that demand for EVs isn’t what it once was, the company is still pushing on with some of its current plans.

The new all-electric Cayenne SUV looks to be very impressive, and in its Turbo trim form, the car is set to make over 1,000hp, which is hugely impressive.

A new battery design and other improvements to the electric architecture have helped the car to become what it is.

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric is packed with power

At the heart of the new EV is the incredible powertrain.

This is the fourth generation of Cayenne, the E4, and it uses the VW Group’s Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture.

It joins the Porsche Macan in using this, but it isn’t a simple copy-and-paste job.

In the Cayenne, there is a new battery design and an oil-cooled rear motor for the Turbo trim.

The company says that this will be its most powerful production car yet.

Currently, the Taycan Turbo GT has 1,019hp, but the Taycan Turbo Electric will have more than that.

Its 0-60mph time is also set to be impressive, under three seconds, and it will have vast amounts of torque.

Porsche has worked hard on the new EV

The manufacturer has also worked hard on the efficiency of the car, and the new battery design helps in this area.

Gone is the traditional frame, and instead, there are six modules of 32 pouches bolted to the vehicle frame.

This saves weight, increases the energy density, and improves the EV’s efficiency.

The oil cooling on the new rear motor goes to the copper winding.

This allows for higher sustained performance from the motor and increased regen capabilities.

EV sales have been slower than Porsche would have liked, but it is still being very clever in its thinking.

At the moment, there are still a handful of months before Porsche gives the new Cayenne Electric a full debut.

The electric SUV is still undergoing testing, including towing a 100-year-old classic car.

But from everything that we have learned so far, it sounds like it is going to be one very impressive machine.
