Porsche just showed the world what true electric SUV power looks like! The new electric Cayenne isn’t just another EV on the market – it’s a beast that just smashed the record on the legendary British hill climb track Shelsley Walsh. Imagine this: test driver Gabriela Jílková from the Porsche Formula E team drove a camouflaged prototype on a challenging 1,000-meter track with a steep 16.7% incline. The result? A new record time of 31.28 seconds, beating the previous SUV record by over four seconds! Yes, you read that right – four whole seconds! That’s like the electric Cayenne blasted off like a true single-seater race car, with the first 18 meters covered in just 1.94 seconds – a performance usually reserved for specialized racing cars. Porsche equipped this model with an active suspension system that guarantees exceptional stability and driving precision. Michael Schätzle, Vice President of the Cayenne product line, revealed that the powertrain of the record-setting car is already at production level. But wait, there’s more! Porsche also demonstrated the practicality of this electric SUV – famous TV host Richard Hammond used the Cayenne electric to tow a classic car weighing two tons, effortlessly. This model will be one of the first electric vehicles in the world with a towing capacity of 3.5 tons, meaning it won’t lag behind combustion engine versions. The camouflaged prototype will be showcased at the Goodwood Festival of Speed from July 10 to 13. If you thought electric SUVs were boring, Porsche just proved you wrong! This Cayenne is ready to change the game and show that electric cars can be brutally fast and practical. So, what do you think – is this the beginning of the end for classic gas and diesel SUVs? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s on team electric revolution and who’s still clinging to the old ways!
