2020 Porsche Cayenne hybrid models
Porsche today unleashes three new 2020 Cayenne models, two of which will take their places at the top of the standard and coupe ranges. The Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid and its Coupe sibling put Porsche's V8-fueled hybrid system on the top step, while the new Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe puts the raked-roof spin on the existing standard Cayenne E-Hybrid. The Turbo S models are the most powerful Cayenne variants ever built, producing a total system output of 670 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque from a 4.0-liter 541-hp twin-turbo V8 aided by a 134-hp electric motor. That's seven horses down on the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid with the same powertrain, but 37 more foot-pounds of twist. They both get from zero to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and are limited to 183 mph.
The 2020 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe works with the same 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 and e-motor as in the Cayenne E-Hybrid, putting out an identical 455 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque combined. The dash to 60 mph takes 4.7 seconds, and top speed is limited to 157 mph.
All three of the new hybrids will wear visual identifiers like Acid Green brake calipers and badging highlights. The new Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid is fitted with the same five-position active roof spoiler as on the standard Cayenne Turbo. Both Cayenne Coupe hybrids get the same fixed upper roof spoiler, and add an adaptive spoiler beneath it that can extend 5.3 inches at 56 mph and above to add aero stability.
The Sport Chrono Package comes standard on each of the three, headlining the list of additional standard kit. The two Turbo S E-Hybrid models also feature ceramic composite brakes, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, Torque Vectoring+, 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats, 21-inch AeroDesign wheels, body-color wheel arch extensions, and the upgraded 7.2-kW onboard charger. The charger can refill the 14.1-kWh battery in 2.5 hours on a 240-volt/50-amp connection.
The Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe gets eight-way seats, a fixed panoramic roof, and 20-inch Cayenne Design wheels. Everything that comes standard on the Turbo hybrid models can be optioned onto the E-Hybrid Coupe save for torque vectoring.
Expect the trio to rumble into dealerships in the first quarter of next year. We should have fuel economy data sometime before then.
The Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe starts the bidding at $87,750, including $1,350 for destination. That's $5,300 more than the standard Cayenne E-Hybrid. The Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid nearly doubles that at $163,250, which is also $37,400 more than a Turbo S. The Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe tops the charts at $165,750.

LOL! Model S is what 4/10ths quicker?
I like the idea of not having to 'plug-in'. Lexus hybrids seem to be getting better. Where I could only get the GS450h to coast in EV at 39mph, I was able to get the UX250h coasting at 49mph before the engine kicked in

When you're hovering around 3 seconds that's a big deal.
You can go maybe 3 miles on battery power if barely touch the throttle, wouldn't it be nice to do 90% of your trips only on battery power?
And they are not supposed to be fast, the Model 3 is a Camry competitor except for the price which will drop to Camry levels in the next 5 years. The point is Tesla has some secret sauce going on other EVs are not as fast when they have about the same capacity battery. Look at the Jaguar and Audi EVs they are slow compared to Tesla.

The Tesla is faster but what's the point if the car handle like crap. People are obsess with straight line speed.
That's not fun. I'm very confident the Porsche is going to be a lot more funnier to drive and will out handle the Tesla. Pick your poison but I know which one I would choose.

I am team Porsche over Tesla because of the 911 and Cayman, but to assume Teslas handle like crap pretty much means you haven't driven any.
Looking forward to the Taycan comparison with the Model S tho.
On topic, these "hybrid" options from Porsche are expensive and look great on paper, but I still can't pull the trigger on a base Panamera because of potential long term reliability issues.

No, the Model S P100D would be 1.3 seconds faster. Motor Trend clocked 0-60mph in that Tesla at 2.28 seconds. Excerpt from article below:
"In Motor Trend’s tests, the newly update Model S P100D managed a 0-60 mph time of just 2.28 seconds. Or, to be more accurate, 2.275507139 seconds. That’s faster than a Porsche 911 Turbo S, and faster than a Ferrari LaFerrari. In fact, no production car had ever cracked the 2.3-second mark in any of the magazine’s tests until now."
