If
you like the new Taycan but would rather have something a bit more practical,
then maybe the Taycan Cross Turismo will prove to be your cup of tea.
The
estate shooting brake version of the regular Taycan will keep the same styling
up to the B pillars and get a redesigned rear end, similar to the 2018 Mission
E Cross Turismo Concept. Thus, in spite of the heavy camouflage applied to
prototypes, including the latest ones brought forward by our spy photographers,
expect a lighting signature akin to the show car, as well as a clean tailgate
design.
The
interior is still kept under wraps, yet it will mirror the layout from the
four-door model, complete with all the tech gear, including the 10.9-inch infotainment
system and optional passenger screen. Users will be able to interact with the
car and access several functions using the touchscreen or voice controls, while
the all-electric estate will get the same level of refinement and high-quality
materials, as well as ambient lighting.
In
terms of powertrains, the Taycan Cross Turismo will echo the Taycan, getting an
impressive 530 PS in the 4S, with up to 571 PS during overboost. At the other end of the range sits the Taycan Turbo S,
which packs a dizzying 761 PS and 1,050 Nm of
torque and does the 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. The
official unveiling date is unknown, but Porsche is expected pull the covers off
the Taycan Cross Turismo sometime towards the end of 2020.
