In June 2017, Richard Hammond destroyed a remark -concept_on during a mountain climbing program in Switzerland. To say that this is a close call will be a small thing, as the electric hypercarce exploded in flames and fell into a hill moment after the journalist got out of the debris. He survived to tell the story, just one fracture fled with his knee. Fast Forward eight years, and ex Top gear And Grand Tour Another mountain climbing back and returned to the star.
Hammond once again run an EV, but of a different type, as Porsche told her to run behind the wheels of pre -production red pepper. Purely Electric Electric SUV participated in the Climbing Shellsley Walsh Hill, where Gabriella Julkova, a development driver in the company’s formula e -program, broke the SUV record. Since there will be no world premiere by the end of this year, Porsche faced hardships. However, they shared some juicy tampering.
For example, Hammond says that the fourth generation, only electric red pepper will be slightly larger than today’s gas -powered model. The Porsche number will not be displayed, but we will remind you that the current vehicle is about 194 inch (more than 4.9 meters) long and 78.1 inches (1.98 m) wide. We are sure that the new EV battery will be longer due to the battery pack, so expect the ride height will increase to 66 inches (1.67 meters) of the gas model.
This BMW IX is 3,500 kilograms (7,716 pounds), more than 1,000 kg (2,204 pounds), which is not an easy feat, causing them to restrict EV due to large batteries. As his younger brother, like an electric mechanic, the new cans will be a front trunks in the EV, but Porsche did not allow Hammond to show on the camera.
By echoing the technology, the next generation of red pepper has the characteristics of Porsche Active Ride Chassis Technology, which maintains the physical level at all times by absorbing road flaws almost completely completely. The active dampers reduces the pitch and the roll, which leads to a smooth ride. The logic tells us that it will be heavier than the small electric crossover, which already indicates the scales at 5,393 pounds (2,446kg) for the turbo version in the US specification.
When it comes to power, electric red pepper will be at the top of today’s Turbo E -Hybrid, which means it is about to pack more than 729 horsepower. Details about the torque are not available, but the current flagship offers twin turbo 4.0 liters of V-8 and 700 pounds (950 newton meters) from the electric motor. The instant response given by electric motors should be faster than the 3.7 seconds required by the Turbo E -Hybrid, even if the EV weight is quite high.
Since we have mentioned the existing combustion engine, the new EV will still make the sound of the gas car by pumping artificial V-8 noise through the cabin speaker. Richard Hammond “is very happy about it”, but it is hoped that there will be a way to turn them off. Thankfully, after the firearmic accident, its first hill climb ended on the way.
Electric cayenne will not spell the end of the coming gas version. The Porsche has gone on record that the SUV will continue well in the 2030s.
