CTOnews.com, March 14 (Xinhua)-- Porsche posted record revenue in 2022 and announced the launch of two new electric models.

After the announcement of Macan EV after Porsche's initial public offering, it began to invest more in electrification strategy and even became the most valuable carmaker in Europe. Porsche brought more good news after today's results.

The German brand announced record profits in 2022 and plans to launch two new electric models, the all-electric version of the Porsche Cayenne EV and the higher-positioning unnamed SUV.

Porsche's new high-end pure electric SUV is "positioned higher than the Cayenne" and is likely to be a larger and more luxurious product than the Cayenne, which is expected to compete with the upcoming Land Rover, Cadillac Escalade or other large three-row electric SUV.

The specific plans for Porsche's pure electric products are as follows:

The new Cayenne plug-in model will be increased to three.

Macan pure electric version will be delivered in 2024

Porsche 718 will launch a pure electric version around 2025

The pure electronic version of Cayenne will come immediately after the pure electronic version 718.

New high-end pure electric SUV new car system, based on SSPSport platform.

Foreign media AutoCar reported that Porsche's new SUV will be a large seven-seat SUV, code-named "K1". Similar to the Cayenne positioning, it is aimed at those who like ultra-luxury, high-tech cross-border, and is expected to go on sale in 2027, aimed at "providing strong performance and self-driving" capabilities.

It has been conceived and planned for three years, and it will be different from any previous Porsche production car, with a length of more than 5 meters and a shape of "part sedan and part crossover," according to a source familiar with the early design.

Porsche CEO Oliver Bloom described the car, internally codenamed K1, as "an interpretation of the extraordinary movement of the SUV" and will take the form of a raised two-door coupe "designed to bring strong performance and self-driving through a typical Porsche design, as well as a complete new in-car experience".

"as a result, we have emphasized and strengthened our sports luxury positioning," he added. we have observed a growing profit pool in this area, especially in China and the United States. " Porsche Vice Chairman Lutz Meschke said that the K1 is "a perfect match for the Chinese market."

Due to the positioning and size of the Cayenne and this new SUV, we can expect its battery capacity to far exceed the 100kWh size of the Macan.

In addition, for this type of luxury models, we believe that both models may bring dual-motor all-wheel drive models, or even three-to four-motor Turbo GT performance versions. Of course, the pricing of the new car will also be eye-popping, and insiders say it will far exceed the current fuel version of the Cayenne (CTOnews.com note: the current guiding price is 91.30-2.448 million yuan).

Insiders say the K1 will have a unique silhouette, with an ultra-short Porsche front, a high-curvature windshield and an curved roof that extends to a hatchback. It is said that in order to give it the appropriate off-road capability, its body height and ground clearance will also be adjusted by a precision air suspension with a variety of settings.

The PPE platform will debut with an electric Macan in 2024, and it has been confirmed that the original model will use an 800V electrical system, with a single motor (rear wheel drive) or dual motor configuration, with power up to 603bhp and 737lb ft.

The insider believes that the K1 will use a 920V electrical system, charge faster than the Macan and provide an oil-cooled cooling design for the motor, although its battery remains secret, but its capacity should exceed 100kWhWLTP with a range of more than 435km (CTOnews.com Note: about 700.06 km).

In other areas, K1 plans to use new chassis technology, including an electronically controlled four-wheel steering system, which will provide a steering angle of 5 °for the rear wheels to increase maneuverability at low speeds in cities and towns and greater flexibility at high speeds. It is said that this function will be used in conjunction with electronic differential to provide a torque vector effect between each rear wheel.

According to the revelation, the Porsche K1 will provide "a whole new experience with a focus on space". This will be attributed to the new key architecture of the Porsche SSP platform, such as low cockpit floors, ultra-thin battery packs, etc., as well as rear pits similar to the J1 platform used by the existing Taycan.

According to Porsche's goal, the car company will sell 80% of its electric vehicles by 2030, but the pace of launch is slightly slower than that of Chinese automakers, American automakers and even parent company Volkswagen.
