What's it like to drive, to accelerate in a Cayenne EV “S?”

[Fun TC Driving]

We have very limited input, even less hard data on what is it like to drive an “S.” Perhaps the most on-point comment is:

Even the mid-tier 657-hp Cayenne S Coupe Electric we drove, which wasn't equipped with Porsche Active Ride suspension, kept its hulking mass flat around corners. It's a breathtakingly rapid machine, capable of bullying far less practical sports cars on the autobahn in its higher trims.

Any member here driven one please and could comment how lively it feels accelerating other than in launch control (say in the 20-60 MPH realm most of us do our daily driving in?

If you have, would you please compare it to other know EV’s, say compared to a Macan EV S, GTS, or Turbo? Or comparing it to a Taycan 2025+ 4S?

Any other automedia cogent evaluations? Thank you.

Another “secondary” data point starts at 12:55 in the below Auto Zeitung video in which we watch the speed quickly accelerate from 94+ km (58.4 MPH) to 214 km (138MPH) when he activates the 10 second Push-to-Pass.

There's alot at play because traction limits acceleration in these high power monsters. The Cayennes S has 650 lb-ft torque without push to pass and launch control. With launch control torque is 800 lb-ft. So 0-60 mph will be about 4.0 s without and 3.6 s with. So fast and damn fast.

The UK version of Car Magazine reviews all 3. It concludes that the Base delivers more than enough power for most driving, the S is the car to have and the Turbo‘s acceleration is far more than most drivers will need nor desire for the £ 30k differential.

I think the configurator will give a good idea of what you are looking for in the 50 to 74 mph acceleration. As it doesn’t refer to “push to pass” I think the Cayenne‘s figure is normal acceleration. The Cayenne S is

The Macan 4S

That is the kind of precise (and positive infomration) I was hoping to learn. Thank you from us all Wivenhoe!

I have Cayenne S on order. The reason was PAR, which - after some reviews - I'm not sure if it's a must have.

I'm driving 2022 Taycan 4S. Last week I had a Porsche Experience EV + city tour. Base and Turbo. Turbo is damn fast, base is much slower than Taycan 4S.

Even the base Cayenne looks as really fast car when looking at 0-100 km/h only. But look at the 0-200 km/h:

Trim | 0-100 | 0-200 | 100-200 (my calculation)
Base | 4,8 sec | 18,4 | 13,6
S___ | 3,8 sec | 12,4 | 8,6
Turbo | 2,5 sec | 7,5 | 5,0

Huge difference is 100-200.

Cayenne S is on those numbers peer to current Taycan 4S. Which is doing 200 km/h in 12,2 sec.
