During the April 2023 Shanghai auto show, Porsche unveiled its updated 2024 Cayenne lineup. However, one notable absence was the Turbo S E-Hybrid variant, which currently boasts a maximum power of 680 horsepower.
In its place, the range-topping model was the Turbo GT, exclusively available in the Cayenne Coupe body style and capable of producing up to 650 horsepower.
According to a report from YouTube channel ThomasGeigerCar (via Motor1), Porsche is planning a successor to the Turbo S E-Hybrid specifically for markets where the Turbo GT does not comply with emissions regulations, such as Europe. It remains uncertain whether this new model will be available in the United States, where the Turbo GT will be offered.
The upcoming successor will also adopt the Cayenne Coupe body style, similar to the Turbo GT. It is expected to generate over 690 horsepower through a combination of a 4.0-liter V-8 engine and an electric motor. The vehicle will achieve a top speed exceeding 186 mph, as stated by ThomasGeigerCar.
Furthermore, the report suggests that the electrified Cayenne will offer an electric range of approximately 62 miles, likely measured using the WLTP test cycle utilized in the European Union. This range significantly surpasses the meager 15-mile electric range of the current Turbo S E-Hybrid, as evaluated by the EPA.
It is highly probable that a variant of this powertrain will also be employed in the plug-in hybrid Lamborghini Urus, slated for release in the first half of 2024, given that the Cayenne and Urus are technical siblings.
The 2024 Cayenne range is presently available for ordering, with deliveries set to commence later this summer.
These updates will ensure the continued appeal of the beloved mid-size SUV until the advent of the fourth-generation electric Cayenne, expected around 2026.
