Porsche demonstrates electric mobility in Monaco with the Macan 4S Electric, eFantom boat, and Formula E team—highlighting innovation on road, water and track.

The day begins with a gentle push of the pedal — and silence. Gliding through the awakening streets of Monaco in the new Macan 4S Electric feels less like driving and more like merging with the city's rhythm. In this principality, electric mobility isn’t a trend — it’s part of a long-standing strategy. As early as the 1990s, Monaco began laying the groundwork for a clean future: subsidies, free charging, a dense network of infrastructure. Today, more than 300 charging stations operate within just two square kilometers, ensuring nearly every resident is never more than 200 meters from a plug.

Within this setting, Porsche’s first all-electric SUV doesn’t feel revolutionary — it feels inevitable. Delivering up to 380 kW of overboosted power and silent, immediate acceleration, the Macan 4S Electric embodies performance without compromise. Its 800-volt system and 270 kW DC fast charging make it as practical as it is precise — effortlessly blending with the city’s high-tech calm.

From road to water, the journey continues. The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom Air slips out of the marina with an almost surreal quiet. Powered by the same 100 kWh battery as the Macan and equipped with unmistakable Porsche design cues — steering wheel, bucket seats, the crest — the eFantom delivers 400 kW of power and planes in seconds. But it’s not just the speed that astonishes — it’s the silence, broken only by water and wind. This is a different kind of velocity, redefined through soundless precision.

Later, the city’s heartbeat shifts once again — to the high-pitched crescendo of Formula E. On Monaco’s Grand Prix circuit, Porsche’s 99X Electric car surges past. The team has been racing here since 2019, and the technology has leapt forward. Today’s car regenerates up to 600 kW during braking, and the powertrain reaches 97% efficiency. The spectacle is more than sport — it’s a proving ground for innovations already making their way into Taycan, Macan, and even the eFantom.

Across road, sea, and racetrack, the day forms a rich panorama of what electric performance means today. Monaco isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a stage where Porsche moves confidently toward a transformed tradition. The message is clear: this isn’t the end of performance — it’s a new beginning. And it’s just getting started.
