Dynamic Performance: Quarter‑mile Run
During the Autotrader UK test, the Porsche Cayenne Electric crossed the finish line in 10.0 seconds at 170 mph, while the Audi RS Q8 V8 took 11.6 seconds to reach 162 mph. These figures clearly demonstrate the electric SUV’s superiority, even against a 631‑horsepower V8 engine.
Weight and Power: An Unexpected Balance
The Audi RS Q8 weighs 5,300 lb with 631 hp, whereas the Cayenne Electric reaches 5,900 lb but delivers 1,139 hp thanks to its dual motors. The extra weight does not translate into a loss of performance; on the contrary, the surplus power more than compensates.
