Porsche Cayenne struts its stuff at 2025 Goodwood

At the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Porsche Cayenne hogged the spotlight with its impressive attributes, hinting at a glimpse of the SUV model series' future.

Elsewhere, on the Goodwood hill, a camouflaged prototype of the upcoming Cayenne Electric showcased the performance of the future all-electric SUV, which will be offered alongside ICE and hybrid variants. A key contributor to how outstandingly the car drives is its Porsche Active Ride suspension system, which keeps its body level even during heavy braking, cornering, and acceleration.

A few weeks prior, Porsche driver Gabriela Jilkova set a new SUV record of 31.28 seconds with the fully electric Cayenne prototype on the 914m hill climb course at Shelsley Walsh

The new Cayenne Black Edition, a special-edition model based on the current-generation Cayenne, also made its debut appearance at the 2025 Goodwood. The Black Edition is available with three powertrain variants and two body styles: The classic SUV and the SUV Coupe. Exterior details in high-gloss black, such as the Sport Design front apron, exterior mirrors, and a model designation badge emphasise its exclusive appearance.

Inside, the cabin is characterised by elements finished in brushed-black aluminium as well as an extensive list of standard equipment. This includes Tinted HD Matrix LED headlights, a Bose Surround Sound System, 14-way electrically adjustable Comfort seats with memory functions, and 21-inch wheels featuring coloured Porsche crests.

The Porsche Cayenne Black Edition is described as combining performance and elegance with enhanced comfort

Additional customisation options are available through Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. Alongside the new special-edition version of the Cayenne, the new Taycan Black Edition also made its debut at the 2025 Goodwood.

Porsche has said that the Cayenne Electric is well on its way to being ready for series production. Its next public appearance is scheduled for September 2025 at the IAA Mobility event in Munich, where the brand will also present a technical innovation set to help shape the future of fully electric driving.
