Is Porsche's 7th model a small EV sedan?
Well, I'm sorry.
It's still a rumor, but I'm curious, so I'll write it.
That's because Porsche may be building a new small electric car. Well, I hope you can see it as a rumor story to the last ^ ^
Rivals are Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4
It is said that Porsche is considering to be an electric sedan in the range where Tesla's Model 3 and BMW's i4 will be rivals.
And it is said that the name of the Porsche model of the new small EV sedan will be "Cajun", which was registered as a trademark by Porsche in 2011.
Hmmm, I really like Cajun Fries, so I'm familiar with the name Cajun ... it didn't matter again.
Well, if this Cajun can be done, it will be possible to share many components (platform, battery, power train, etc.) with the EV Macan that will come out, so it is very good from a business point of view. It seems that.
Audi A4 e-Tron PPE platform utilization
According to an anonymous Porsche engineer (so who (laughs) ??), the modularity of the PPE platform makes it possible to extend Porsche's electric vehicle lineup with various models. Therefore, it is one of the possibilities that a second EV sedan model will be released.
By the way, it seems that the PPE platform under consideration will be used for Audi's A4 e-Tron. By the way, PPE is Premium Platform Electric.
If this Porsche Cajun really comes out, it will probably be a single motor and dual motor option, and it is said that the price range will start at around £ 50,000. I am.
Furthermore, if it were to be produced, it would be at the Leipzig plant in Germany.
... Well, if such detailed information came out, Cajun would come out after all? I thought ^^
That said, there is no Cajun (or even a different name for a small EV sedan) GO sign inside Porsche yet.
However, the Leipzig plant has already invested 600 million euros to expand its production capacity, so I think this is to accept the production of the 7th model line.
It is said that gasoline-powered vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and electric vehicles can be manufactured on a single production line.
Will Cajun, a small EV sedan that looks like a Taycan brother, come out? ??
