Porsche Admits Chinese Automakers Are Innovating at 'Breathtaking' Pace

To say Porsche is struggling in China would be an understatement. Sales fell 28 percent to 56,887 cars in 2024.

Porsche Swears the Cayenne Electric Hides Its Gigantic Weight

At 5,831 pounds (2,645 kilograms), the Cayenne Electric is Porsche’s heaviest production vehicle ever.
