Porsche's next electric vehicle launches in less than 24 hours. It's the Cayenne Electric, which the automaker will offer alongside its current-generation, gas-powered model.
While Porsche will fully reveal the new electric SUV tomorrow morning, the company has been eager to tease it. We know it'll ride on Volkswagen Group's Premium Platform Electric architecture. The SUV will make over 1,000 horsepower in its Turbo trim, becoming the brand's most powerful production car ever, surpassing the 1,019-hp Taycan Turbo GT.

The Cayenne will be able to hit 60 miles per hour in under three seconds and 124 mph in under eight. It also features an oil-cooled rear motor for the Turbo trim, a reworked infotainment system, and a cabin packed with screens, although Porsche retained lots of physical controls, too.
The Cayenne Electric will also feature a new battery design, which will measure 113.0 kilowatt hours. There'll be less powerful and cheaper versions of the Cayenne electric, which are trims we'll likely get details on at the debut.
While Porsche might be pulling back on its electrification efforts, it's not giving up on the technology. The Tacan was its first modern EV, followed by the Macan Electric. Check back for more on the new Cayenne Electric when Porsche pulls the covers off at 9:15 AM Eastern.
