The Cayenne EV recorded astonishing acceleration performance, surpassing even the Lamborghini Revuelto.
of foreign mediaCar and Driver magazineHowever, news reports indicate that when the Cayenne Electric (hereinafter referred to as the Cayenne EV) was tested, it demonstrated performance that surpassed not only rival SUVs but even supercars such as the Lamborghini Revuelto and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
*Since this is a test conducted by American media, the numbers from here on have been converted from miles to kilometers.
In acceleration tests, the Cayenne Turbo Electric, the top-of-the-line model in the Cayenne EV lineup, achieved a 0-60 mph (approximately 96.6 km/h) acceleration time of 2.1 seconds, surpassing the manufacturer's stated time of 2.4 seconds.
Porsche has long been known for frequently reporting that their cars are faster than their published figures when tested... ^^
In this Car and Driver test, this speed beats the 2.8 seconds of the triple-motor Rivian R12, the 3.1 seconds of the Lucid Gravity Dream Edition, and the 3.3 seconds of the non-Plaid Tesla Model X.
Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, it was so fast that it even beat the Lamborghini Revuelto and the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 by a margin of 0.1 seconds.
During testing, the Cayenne EV's acceleration performance was as follows: it reached approximately 160 km/h in 4.5 seconds and approximately 240 km/h in 10.1 seconds.
It also covered approximately 402 meters (1/4 mile) in 9.5 seconds, reaching a speed of about 235 km/h.
High-performance EVs are heavier due to the large-capacity batteries, which raises concerns about their impact on braking performance. However, even with a vehicle weight of approximately 2,703 kg, the Cayenne Turbo EV can still achieve a braking distance of approximately 42.7 m from a speed of about 113 km/h.
This means it's approximately 3.05m shorter and 3.66m shorter than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT and the Lamborghini Urs Superformante, respectively.
Incidentally, this tested Cayenne Turbo EV was equipped with optional carbon ceramic brakes (PCCB).
Furthermore, in a turning performance test where the vehicle continuously traveled at high speed within a fixed circle, it recorded a G of 1.05G.
It achieved the best cornering performance ever for an SUV (in tests conducted by Car and Driver magazine), beating the previous record held by the Lamborghini Urs Superformante (1.04G).
While this is a comparison based on US prices, the Cayenne Turbo EV used in this test was priced at $194,600 (approximately 31.14 million yen). Considering that the Lamborghini Urus costs over $240,000 (approximately 38.4 million yen), it was said that this might be a good deal for those considering switching from a high-performance SUV with an internal combustion engine to an EV.
Incidentally, the starting price for the Cayenne Turbo EV in Japan is 21.01 million yen. Although the equipment and options differ from the test vehicle, it sounds like an incredibly good deal.
For those looking for a high-performance SUV, the Porsche Cayenne Electric, a high-performance electric SUV that Porsche is proud of, might just be the perfect choice.
...This post ended up sounding like I'm a Porsche shill, but that's not the case, just so you know (lol).
