Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric breaks cover, with a 1,139 hp Turbo on top

Porsche's coupe-bodied Cayenne goes electric, led by a 1,139 hp Turbo that hits 60 mph in 2.4 seconds, sold alongside the continuing gas and plug-in-hybrid coupes.

Porsche has pulled the wraps off the Cayenne Coupe Electric, the first fully electric, coupe-bodied version of its best-selling SUV. Revealed in April 2026, it's distinct from the SUV-shaped Cayenne Electric and, crucially, arrives alongside the combustion and plug-in-hybrid Cayenne Coupes rather than replacing them.

Three trims, one very fast flagship

The lineup runs from a 435 hp base, through a 657 hp S, up to the headline Turbo at 1,139 hp (peak on launch control) with 1,106 lb-ft of torque. The Turbo Coupe Electric posts 0–60 mph in 2.4 seconds and a 162 mph top speed, hypercar acceleration in a family-SUV body. See where it ranks on our fastest SUVs list.

A hedge, not a bet

The notable strategic choice is that Porsche isn't forcing the issue: gas, PHEV, and now full-electric coupe variants will be sold side by side. After the lesson of the electric-only Macan rollout, letting buyers choose their powertrain (same body, same badge) looks like the more pragmatic play. See how they compare in our Porsche Cayenne vs Porsche Macan breakdown. The Turbo's numbers, meanwhile, make the case that going electric costs you nothing on performance.

Based on Porsche's official reveal. Power figures are launch-control peaks; EPA range and US pricing are still pending. We'll update at launch.
