Porsche has unveiled its Cayenne Coupé Electric, potentially the company's most powerful vehicle ever. The sleeker body improves aerodynamics with a drag coefficient of just 0.23, while the lowered stance gives it a more aggressive look. Despite the sportier profile, it still accommodates four adults and includes a 3.2 cubic foot frunk.

Three versions will be available, all using Porsche's 800-volt architecture allowing charging at up to 400 kW. The base model produces 408 hp, the S delivers 544 hp, while the Turbo Coupé Electric cranks out 857 hp (1,156 with overboost). This performance enables a breathtaking 0-60 mph time of just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 162 mph.

Inside, Porsche combines luxury with technology, featuring an optional electrochromic panoramic roof and a dashboard screen spanning from driver to passenger. Pricing starts at $113,800, with the S at $131,200 and the top-tier Turbo version at $168,000. For a luxury electric SUV with 350 miles of range, these prices represent competitive value in the high-performance EV market.
