Porsche Previews All-Electric Cayenne with Record-Setting Hill Climb
Summary Porschehas offered a first look at its upcomingCayenneElectric, showcasing the SUV's performance during a record-breaking run at the Shelsley Walsh hill climb in England. Development driver Gabriela Jílková piloted the camouflaged prototype to a new SUV course record of 31.28 seconds, beating the previous best by over four seconds. The all-electric SUV also hit the 60-foot mark in just 1.94 seconds, matching single-seater race cars in initial acceleration. The Cayenne Electric features Porsche Active Ride — an advanced suspension system that keeps the vehicle level during intense braking and cornering, improving both comfort and control. While final tuning is still underway, Porsche confirmed that the prototype's powertrain and suspension were already at production level. Beyond the track, the Cayenne Electric demonstrated its everyday usability by towing a two-tonne classic car and trailer, totaling about three tonnes, with ease. Porsche says the SUV will offer up to 3.5 tonnes of towing capacity, aligning with the combustion-powered Cayenne. Set to debut officially in the near future, the Cayenne Electric will appear next at the Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 10–13), continuing Porsche's rollout of its second all-electric SUV.

Porsche Teases New 963 RSP Hypercar
Summary Porschehas officially unveiled the name of its mysterious and potentially roadgoing endurance project: the 963 RSP. Teased in a new ASMR-style video, the one-off hypercar is based on the 963 endurance racer that's already clinched back-to-back victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona. The short film shows Porsche artisans sewing custom upholstery, sanding carbon-fiber panels and applying paint by hand, culminating in the installation of a real Porsche crest on the hood, a notable departure from the sticker badge used on the race car for weight savings. While Porsche hasn't revealed specs, the RSP is expected to mirror the race-bred twin-turbo V8 hybrid setup of its track-only sibling. According to earlyreports, the RSP name may also nod to Roger S. Penske, whose team oversees Porsche's dominant endurance program. With only one 963 RSP slated for production, its debut is likely timed for just before the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 14. In the meantime, check out the teaser for yourself below.
