She managed to go up to Shelshel-Uolsh in 31.28 seconds, surpassing the previous record for crossovers for more than four seconds.

Last year, Porsche changed the course about the electrification of the Cayenne family. Initially, in Stuttgart they planned to abandon internal combustion engines in almost all models, with the exception of the sports car 911, believing that by 2030, up to eighty percent of the market would take electric carriers. However, the market reality was different. Now the manufacturer intends to continue the development of the current generation of Cayenne with the V8 motor, which will become part of the updated brand strategy.
