STUTTGART, Germany and TORONTO, April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The iconic 911 flyline and striking proportions come together to define the new Cayenne Coupé Electric models, which are among the most emotive and sporty vehicles in the SUV segment – both in terms of design and outstanding e-performance. "The gently sloping roofline sweeps elegantly over the car's broad shoulders and gives the Cayenne Coupé a particularly sporty appearance," says Thomas Stopka, Head of Exterior Design, Style Porsche. "The adaptive rear spoiler blends harmoniously into the body, while the way the rear window is embedded and flush-mounted with fewer joints ensures a clean, modern look. Precisely drawn lines, wide proportions and high-gloss black side window strips form a design that exudes sportiness in every detail. Extroverted and clearly positioned, the new Cayenne Coupé Electric is a sports car through and through." Enhanced aerodynamics The coupé body style with its sloping roofline further enhances aerodynamic efficiency. In addition, the roof height of the Cayenne Coupé Electric is 24 millimetres lower than the SUV and boasts a drag coefficient of just 0.23 (SUV: 0.25). The Porsche Active Aerodynamics system, which features cooling-air flaps and an adaptive spoiler, optimizes efficiency, downforce, and cooling. Like the Cayenne Turbo SUV Electric, the Cayenne Turbo Coupé Electric also features active side aeroblades to help further reduce drag. Performance All variants of the Cayenne Coupé Electric utilize the same 800-volt powertrain and adaptive two-chamber, two-valve air suspension concept as its respective SUV counterparts. With launch control, the Cayenne Coupé Electric can send 435 hp and 616 lb-ft. of torque to all four wheels. At the top end of the range, the Cayenne Turbo Coupé Electric generates up to 1,139 hp and 1,106 lb-ft. of torque, while the Cayenne S Coupé makes 657 hp and 797 lb-ft. of torque when using launch control. Rear-axle steering is optional on all models, while electro-hydraulic Active Ride suspension and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus options are only available on S and Turbo models.
