COMPLEMENTING THE EXISTING line-up, the new Cayenne S Electric is positioned between the Cayenne Electric and the top-of-the-range Cayenne Electric Turbo model. An additional 165kW of power, sharpened exterior design, and even more extensive equipment options differentiate the S from the entry-level model. The Cayenne S Electric accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 3.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of up to 250km/h for the track. The WLTP range for the European delivered model is up to 653 kilometres (combined cycle).

Like the other two current Cayenne Electric models, the S variant features a high-voltage battery with a gross energy capacity of 113kWh, which, at up to 400kW at a suitable fast-charging station, can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent 16 minutes.

The drive system, which features one permanent magnet synchronous motor on both the front and rear axles, delivers a system output of 400kW, or up to 490kW with Launch Control. Like the Cayenne Turbo, the Cayenne S uses direct oil cooling for the rear-axle electric motor. Unlike with conventional electric motors, the heat is dissipated directly from the current-carrying components. The pulse inverter on the rear axle uses silicon carbide as a semiconductor material and processes currents of up to 620 amps.

The Cayenne S Electric is characterised by model-specific front and rear aprons in Volcano Grey Metallic, while the inserts and diffuser are painted in the body colour. The exterior styling is rounded off by 20-inch Cayenne S Aero wheels.

Optional equipment previously reserved only for the Turbo model is now available for the Cayenne S. The optional Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) provides even more precise driving dynamics. The premium Porsche Active Ride suspension almost completely compensates for body movements and ensures exceptional driving stability. The high-performance Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system with yellow-painted brake callipers is also optionally available for the Cayenne S.

With the Push-to-Pass function, up to 90kW of additional power can be called upon for 10 seconds. The built-in Track endurance mode ensures maximum performance on track through targeted pre-conditioning of the battery.

Like all the fully electric Cayenne models, the Cayenne S can be configured to suit individual tastes. Thirteen exterior colours and various interior and accent packages offer customers a wide range of possibilities for personalisation.

In Australia, the new Cayenne S Electric model will be additionally fitted with the following features as standard:
• Tyre fit set

New offering from Exclusive Manufaktur: the Interior Style Package

Under the ‘Style’ product line, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur is offering curated packages devised by the Style Porsche design studio and Exclusive Manufaktur. The first of these ‘Director’s Cuts’ is the Interior Style Package, which is now available as an option for all derivatives of the Cayenne Electric.

With a colour and material scheme coordinated with the exterior colour Mystic Green Metallic, the package creates a modern and exclusive ambience. At its heart is the two-tone leather upholstery in Black and Delgada Green, which extends to the door trims and the 14-way adjustable Comfort Seats, with the seat belts also picking up on the colour theme. Delgada Green decorative stitching emphasises the attention to detail inside the car, as does the embroidered outline of the Porsche crest on the headrests.

Aluminium decorative trims, painted in Izabal Green, provide modern contrasts against the upholstered leather surfaces. The GT sports steering wheel trimmed in black leather features a 12 o’clock marking and cross stitching in Delgada Green. An Izabal Green ring on the airbag module, and a knurled Drive Mode selection wheel in the same colour, emphasise the distinctive styling. In the driver’s direct field of vision, the dial of the compass, the Sports Chrono stopwatch and the power meter in the instrument cluster all incorporate the Izabal Green accents.

The features are complemented by an accent package in Silvershade, as well as an armrest in the centre console embossed with ‘Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur’ lettering. The vehicle key is also finished in Izabal Green and is presented in a case with decorative stitching in Delgada Green. The overall look is rounded off with black anodised aluminium door sill guards with the model designation illuminated in green, as well as black floor mats with decorative edging, emblems and stitching.
