Earlier this year, Porsche threw a curveball with the Mission E Cross Turismo Concept, a jacked-up wagon version of the all-electric Mission E. Since then, the production version of the original sedan show car, now called the Taycan, has edged closer to its 2019 debut, and it was only a matter of time before the Cross Turismo got the green light. And so it has.
The company said that the concept was well received by the media and the public, and that the new model will create 300 new jobs at its Zuffenhausen headquarters. Both the Taycan and its Cross Turismo sibling are part of Porsche’s plan to invest more than €6 billion (RM28.8 billion) in electric mobility by 2022.
The Cross Turismo will use the Taycan’s running gear, including a pair of electric motors providing a total of 440 kW (590 hp) of all-wheel thrust, plus an 800-volt battery of unspecified capacity. It is quoted to sprint from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds before hitting 200 km/h in under 12 seconds; it also has a range of over 500 km and will be able to get 400 km of range from just 15 minutes of charging.
The car will also feature all-wheel steering, adaptive air suspension that raises ground clearance by up to 50 mm, and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC).
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
It ll be way cooler if ,
At a press of a button , the normal taycan grand turismo will lift up and deploy front splitter and side skirt ( a la supra ) ….kinda like that tv show ‘viper’
All car manufacturers are moving towards EV. In Malaysia, our Proton and Perodua still tidur. Then when nobody buys outdated Proton cars, Proton says rakyat is not patriotic.
Car companies must keep updated with trends. Cannot be sleeping whole day. When everybody selling EV and you sell outdated cars, why blame people when nobody buys your cars?
That is rakyat do not support Proton, so the development of EV funds is insufficient, and the initial EV plan is also intrauterine fetal death . You should resent yourself why other manufacturer have but we got nothing.
