The 2026 Cayenne Turbo Electric, anyone ordering one?
Discussion
Drove it this week. We Looking at turbo as replacement for 22 Taycan Sport Turismo. (Mrs T s daily). Overall from photos I thought I d like the coupe turbo but IRl it was a bit to Tesla / Egg. The regular 4x4 body looks better to me and if you’re buying a big 4x4 then JFDI. Interior is awesome nice curved screen, physical
hVAC buttons.. tonnes of rear room (electric is longer wheelbase) and launching it (yup I did) was brutal. Feels as fast as launching my daily which is a heal of a lot lighter..
Overall it s great. Utterly unnecessary.. but great. Do you really need a turbo over the S? Not if cost is an issue. Oh and it s damn stable without the active ride so I ve dropped that from the configurator and am experimenting with PTS. Ordering now looks like delivery in Q127..
Oh and obviously buying through company. It s clearly going to depreciate almost as fast as it launches but what the hell..

Make sure you go properly "out there" if going PTS - see a lot of the Taycan forum that don't look much different to standard colours, and the cost is lumpy 
Presumably you want more room than the Taycan offers? (Or just want a change?).
PTS will be up to mrs_t will be her daily and her company £. And yeah taycan is great but roads round our way are increasingly awful (I think we’ve replaces the tyres 6=5 times in 30k mules and 4 years on the taycan mostly due to potholes) plus the kids are teenagers and getting massive and want to drag bikes and drum kits around lol.

Order placed, tech spec pretty straightforward, having driven a turbo I can’t see the point in the active ride as apparently it’s not active in sport mode anyway.. on the paint we picked Monteverdi, but having seen it for real I’m less keen and more importantly so is the mrs, so mulling over pts options while we wait for build slot….

Given the delays I’ve had with my Turbo order (been in production since 7th July); now expected early Oct but possibly November, going PTS would add even more frustration. I’d asked and said would be at least 12 months or possibly longer. Not worth the whopping cost either imo. Been problems with catastrophic floods in Switzerland impacting aluminium supplies (wheels and chassis) effecting many cars across the brand. Almost like the post Covid part shortages all over again.Gassing Station | Porsche EVs | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
