JAKARTA - Porsche has long had plans for future electrification transitions. In fact, this German brand wants to convert a number of models of the combustion engine (ICE) into pure electric vehicles (EVs).

This is evidenced by Porsche launching the latest EV Tigers earlier this year or as the second electric car after Taycan. Well, this manufacturer also plans to overhaul other models such as Cayenne.

Reporting from Carscoops, Monday, July 15, the Cayenne EV is being tested on Germany's Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit wrapped in black camouflage as well as showing the form of a half prototype with several updates.

Porsche focuses on improving the suspension and optimizing ground clearance for this car. The legs of the SUV are not covered so engineers and technicians can observe the performance of the suspension as it bends and passes through mounds at high speed.

The exterior looks like an EV Tiger with a wider dimension. The front looks slightly convex but solid with the latest LED lighting. The back is also a similar illumination.

In addition, some details on the car also adopted from other models such as the aero cover at the front facility that resembles the latest 911.

It will only sell electricity versions in the future, the Cayenne will be built on the PPE platform with the Macan EV and Audi Q6 e-tron. It is likely that the purely electric version will have a longer dimension than the ICE version.

This 800V-power platform is suitable for charging with DC fast-charging 270 kW and can charge from 10 to 80 percent in 20 minutes. Only charging for 10 minutes, the car is likely to run up to 255 km.

Details about its performance are still kept secret. However, as an illustration, the EV Tiger has a 402 dk electric motor and a 649 Nm torque at its entry-level variant. Meanwhile, the highest variant has a 630 dk electric motor and a 1.128 Nm torque.

Given that the Cayenne electric will be bigger and heavier, Porsche is likely to increase its motor to generate greater power, especially in high-end models. In addition, there are rumors Porsche has the potential to offer an extreme four-motor powertrain.

The latest Cayenne EV is likely to debut in late 2025 or early 2026 and be positioned over the EV Tigers.
