Porsche K1 is the company's new flagship.

Hello friends. Porsche is changing its tune again. The long-running series about the creation of Porsche's "ultimate electric flagship" has taken a twist that would make the writers of "Santa Barbara" envious. The seven-seat giant, codenamed K1, which was supposed to become an icon of a new era, will officially no longer be so. It's no longer a "Tesla killer," but essentially a very expensive and very fast Audi Q9. What was I saying? Well, we were initially promised the Porsche K1 would feature the SSP (Scalable Systems Platform)—a kind of digital paradise on wheels—and that the new flagship would be all-electric, with no hint of an internal combustion engine. However, reality has made its own adjustments. Challenges with developing complex software and the general slowdown in demand for premium electric vehicles in China and the US forced Porsche management to reconsider its priorities. Rather than risk its delivery schedule and sales volumes, the company decided to migrate the K1 to the PPC platform. Bentley is working on a new SUV. Crewe seems to have finally come to terms with the fact that its customers are no longer scaling the Scottish moors, but instead gruelingly fighting for a parking space, and they've decided that the new model will definitely appeal to their customers. The success of the Bentayga has proven to skeptics that Bentley customers don't mind a high seating position and all-wheel drive, as long as they're paired with impeccable leather and veneer. Now the British are preparing a second strike, but this time without a single drop of gasoline. The new model, provisionally called an "Urban SUV," is already undergoing rigorous winter testing in Europe, revealing its secrets. The new electric car is based on the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) architecture. This is the same platform on which the new electric Porsche Cayenne is built. And while this may sound like unification to purists, for the real owner it means access to the most advanced technologies from the VAG group. According to preliminary data, the base version of the crossover will produce almost 600 hp, but the platform's potential allows it to easily exceed the 1,000-horsepower mark for top-end versions.
