Porsche Taycan And Cayenne Black Editions Add More Than Style

Porsche jumps on the blacked-out bandwagon

Porsche has simultaneously revealed Black Edition derivatives of its Taycan electric sedan and Cayenne SUV, adding a more menacing look to two of the brand’s most highly regarded models. The Black Edition treatment applies to both the Taycan sedan and Sport Turismo, as well as the Cayenne SUV and SUV Coupe. However, on Porsche’s site, only the Taycan, Taycan 4, and Taycan 4S sedans are available for the U.S. market at this stage.

These darker Porsche models are currently being debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which runs from July 10 to 13. Let’s look at the changes that have been applied to these Porsches, which go beyond just a darker look.

Taycan Black Edition

For the electric Porsche, elements from the Sport Design package, as well as the side window trims and rear model designation, have all been given a gloss black finish. Exclusive to the Black Edition are mirrors in a high-gloss black finish. An illuminated black Porsche logo for the rear light strip is included, too. Despite being a Black Edition, it’s possible to order this Taycan in several colors that aren’t black, such as Volcano Grey, Dolomite Silver, and Ice Grey. Porsche’s pricey Paint to Sample program offers even more customization potential.

Inside the Taycan, Porsche includes the black interior accent package, the storage package, and illuminated aluminum door sill guards in a black-brushed finish. Additional standard equipment includes lane change assist, a surround-view system with active parking assistance, HD Matrix LED headlights, a Bose sound system, and power-adjustable front comfort seats. In light of how expensive these options normally are, they’re welcome standard additions.

In terms of performance, the Taycan Black Edition gets the standard (and larger) Performance Battery Plus. Producing 429 horsepower, it has a 12% better range than the standard Taycan battery, although that’s based on German specifications.

Cayenne Black Edition

Porsche sales are strong in the U.S., as almost all models demonstrated growth in 2025 so far. The new Cayenne Black Edition should further bolster the appeal of the brand’s popular mid-size SUV.

Like the Taycan, there are several gloss-black finishes for the exterior, including the Sport Design front apron, exterior mirrors, Porsche logo, and rear model designation. For the Cayenne, the main color palette (besides black) is Quartzite Grey, Dolomite Silver, Carrara White, and Vanadium Grey. The SUV also gets HD Matrix LED headlights, but unlike the Taycan’s, they’re tinted here. The darker Cayenne looks great, although Land Rover’s commitment to the murdered-out look is more impressive.

Moving inside, brushed black aluminum finishes have been applied to the Cayenne Black Edition, which benefits from the same extra features as found in the Taycan. As with any other Porsche, an extensive list of customization options are available, but these can quickly send the price soaring.

Pricing starts at $120,600 for the Taycan Black Edition, and deliveries are scheduled to start in fall of 2025. Although the Porsche USA site does list the Cayenne Black Edition, its pricing and online configurator aren’t yet available.
