Porsche will start selling an all-electric Cayenne coupe in late summer, the latest signal from the German automaker that it still sees market demand for EVs. The Cayenne coupe EV — which has four doors, unlike a traditional coupe — will join several other all-electric variants of the SUV when it comes to market later this year, including the base Cayenne Electric, Cayenne S Electric, and Cayenne Turbo Electric.

After all, it is not a battery-electric vehicle, not even a plug-in hybrid, as is more or less mandated nowadays (and rightly so, I heard you mumble). It’s not an SUV or even a hatch/SUV “crossover”, as is overwhelmingly the market trend. More startling still, it’s a new coupe, a species once plentiful (old Ford Capri, VW Scirocco), a defiant “two plus two” seater of relatively modest proportions.
