Porsche introduced the Cayenne Electric last November and the lineup will soon be expanded to include a crossover coupe. Spy photographers have snapped the model on multiple occasions, but now they’ve gotten a glimpse at the range-topping variant.

Tentatively dubbed the Cayenne Coupe Turbo GT Electric, the model follows in the footsteps of the regular Cayenne Turbo Electric. As a result, we can see a familiar front fascia with slender Matrix Design headlights as well as an active lower intake.

While the front end is familiar, the profile has a rakish windscreen that flows into a steeply sloping roof. They’re joined by a shrunken greenhouse, plastic body cladding, and five-spoke wheels that are backed up by a high-performance braking system with ventilated discs as well as sizable calipers.

The rear end is epitomized by an angular rear window and an upright liftgate. While this carries over from the standard coupe, the performance variant is notable for sporting a fixed rear wing. Further below, we can see a familiar bumper that echoes the regular model.

Spy photographers did not get a look inside, but do not expect any surprises, as it is unlikely to stray far from the standard Cayenne Electric. That means a 14.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a curved OLED infotainment system, and an optional 14.9-inch front passenger display should all make an appearance.

They should be joined by an augmented reality head-up display, an ambient lighting system, and a heating system that warms the seats as well as the armrests and door panels.

Electric Hyper Performance

The Cayenne Turbo Electric has a 113 kWh battery pack and a dual-motor all-wheel drive system that normally develops 844 hp (630 kW / 857 PS). However, that number soars to 1,139 hp (850 kW / 1,156 PS) and 1,106 lb-ft (1,498 Nm) of torque when Launch Control is activated. This enables the crossover to rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 2.4 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 162 mph (261 km/h).

Assuming this is indeed a Coupe Turbo GT prototype, the model should be even quicker and more powerful. This suggests we can expect a steep price tag as the Cayenne Turbo Electric starts at $163,000, while the gas-powered Cayenne Turbo GT begins at $214,800.

It’s eight months since Xiaomi smashed Porsche’s production EV sedan record at the Nurburgring, but 2026 is the year the Germans fight back. Fresh spy shots from northern Sweden show a vicious-looking, track-ready Taycan ahead of a new record attempt later this year.

Visually, this prototype has matured since we last saw it bullying the Nürburgring in September. The aero components, heavily inspired by the mighty 911 GT3 RS, now look less like prototype science projects and more like showroom-ready hardware.

The front splitter is a different shape and no longer held on with motorsport-style bars, and the fat arch spats designed to cover a much wider track now have cooling slots behind the front wheels. Less visible this time, though, due to this car’s disguise, are the saw-tooth vents cut into each fender top whose job is to vent air pressure built up in the wheelhousings.

Toned-Down Rear Wing

At the back is the same gigantic diffuser we saw on the last prototype, but here it’s paired with a different trunk spoiler. The latest wing looks less race-car-like, its end planes moulded into the overall shape rather than being bolted on. It’s more like the Weissach-kitted Turbo GTs but with an added lip, though it still rides high above the tail to grab as much of the passing air as possible.

We can expect some advanced chassis trickery under the skin and more power than even the 1,019 hp (1,033 PS / 760 kW) the Taycan Turbo GT delivers. The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra’s 1,526 hp (1,547 PS / 1,138 kW) powertrain played a major role in helping the Chinese brand pull off a 7-minute 4.957-second lap of the Ring, beating the Taycan Turbo GT’s record by over 2.5 seconds.

Sub-Seven?

Separately, a stripped-down prototype version of the SU7 recorded 6:22.091, and though we doubt Porsche’s new Taycan will beat that in fully road-legal form, it should become the first production EV to go sub-seven. We’ll find out in a few months when the weather is good enough for Porsche to try for an official timed run.

We’ll also find out if the hottest Taycan will get an RS badge to match those RS aero goodies. If it does, it’ll be the first EV to be granted those letters, and it’ll have a price to match. The Taycan Turbo GT already costs $243,700 with or without the Weissach package, so an RS is surely going to be close to $300k.
