The company confirms a review of GT and hypercar concepts following a steep profit decline.

Overview

  • Porsche launches the Cayenne S Electric, positioned between the base Cayenne Electric and the Turbo Electric.
  • The S variant uses a 113kWh battery and supports up to 400kW DC charging, enabling a 10–80% recharge in about 16 minutes.
  • A dual‑motor all‑wheel‑drive setup delivers 537hp, or up to 657hp with launch control, with a quoted 0–100kph time of 3.8 seconds.
  • CEO Michael Leiters says Porsche is analyzing an expansion into higher‑margin segments above its two‑door sports cars and above the Cayenne.
  • Porsche confirms it is evaluating GT and hypercar concepts, while unverified reports point to a Le Mans‑inspired hybrid V8 halo car priced around $2.5–3 million.
