we know that Porsche is not putting all its future eggs in one basket. Although many manufacturers have announced a 100% electric transition in the more or less short term, The Stuttgart brand is also very actively exploring the path of synthetic fuel. Track is also backed by the German government, which, to everyone’s surprise, recently announced that it would vote against the ban on thermal engines from 2035 that Europe is demanding. However, if battery power is not the only solution of the future, the technology must be part of a range of possibilities. And at Porsche we continue to work on it.
New platform
The manufacturer’s goal is this By the end of the decade, 80% of cars sold will be 100% electric. So the work is there and it will start next year. In 2024, the Macan EV should indeed appear. It will be followed by a small electric sports car that will replace the current Cayman-Boxster duo. Then it will be Porsche Cayenne – the new generation of which is currently completing its final tuning – which will also be offered in a 100% electric version in 2026.
All of this will already provide significant support for what is currently the only electric Porsche: the Taycan. But it is not finished. Ca during the annual press conference, Porsche has also confirmed another electric model will be developed on the future modular platform created together with Audi. This platform is called SSP and is so modular that it can be used for all electric vehicles of the VW group, all categories combined.
Super SUV
Wearing internal codename “K1”, the vehicle in question will be a super SUV that will sit above the Cayenne. What do we know so far? A bit. The sketch presented by Porsche is suggestive in any case extremely dynamic silhouette, even more than the current Cayenne coupe. Personally, we detect a general style quite close to style Taycan, transferred to the world of SUVs. We also know that Porsche will use the most “extreme” version of this platform and engines it can get, except maybe if Lamborghini decides to use it as well. AND with a capacity of more than 1000 hp already mentioned. To learn more, you will have to be patient knowing this this car is not included in the program until 2027. To be continued…
