The Boxster helped Porsche weather one of the German automaker's most critical moments. The Zuffenhausen-based manufacturer then rolled out the 996-generation 911, after which Porsche entered the mainstream with the Cayenne, the company's best-selling model to date.
The Macan's larger sibling was recently facelifted to a great extent for 2024, but alas, the 2024 redesign has been hit with a safety recall. A little under 3,000 examples produced for the United States market are listed in the report below, featuring manufacturing dates that range from March 23 through June 23 of this year.
From the V6-powered Cayenne to the no-nonsense Turbo GT, pretty much every vehicle produced to US specifications through June 23 is affected. What is the problem with these SUVs? According to Porsche, the hazard warning lights and parking lights might not illuminate as intended. If said lights are switched on within 10 seconds of the gateway control unit shutting down, the hazards and parking lamps won't illuminate.
The gateway control unit is an electronic brain that manages a vehicle's data network. A software update is on the menu for the aforementioned 3,000 vehicles. Known owners will be informed of this recall on or about September 26. Vehicles produced after June 23 are said to feature updated gateway control unit software.
Probably the final combustion-engined Cayenne, the mid-cycle refresh of the third generation is available to configure in the United States from $79,200 (before taxes and optional extras). The E-Hybrid, which borrows the V6 of the base variant, starts at $91,700. For the V8-engined Cayenne S, prepare to pony up $95,700. The Cayenne Coupe lineup is topped by the Turbo GT, which is a ridiculous $196,300 at the present moment.
For the time being, it's the most powerful Cayenne that money can buy. Not long now, the 650-horsepower Turbo GT will be joined by a plug-in hybrid V8 specification. Believed to be called Turbo E-Hybrid, the newcomer has been confirmed in Europe with more than 700 metric ponies (make that 690 horsepower) on tap.
Beyond the combustion-engined variants, Porsche is working on its first-ever Cayenne EV. Rumored to launch in 2025 at the earliest, the Cayenne EV will be joined by the Macan EV and a yet-unnamed electric utility vehicle with three-row seating. The zero-emission offensive will further include a new generation of the 718, comprising the Boxster EV and the Cayman EV.
Porsche has big ambitions in the electric space, although Porsche didn't forget that internal combustion helped it win countless endurance races. Although Porsche moves to secure 80 percent of its worldwide sales from EVs by 2030, the Neunelfer will soldier on with ICEs for the foreseeable future. Chances are the generation after the 992 will be the final internal combustion-engined 911, after which Porsche's entire lineup will be fully electric.
