It's challenging for me to talk about the Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo: spending these days with her has somehow taken me by surprise, not just because of the power of its performance (of which I was certain) but also for the quality of its driving dynamics. And I didn't expect that.
Let's go over some data: it has two electric motors, one for each axle (each with electronic differential), and a battery of over 93 kWh capable of providing a range between 380 and 450 km.
Unlike many other electric cars, the Taycan also features a transmission with two gears: one for maximum acceleration from a standstill and one for extended range.
As a result, the Cross Turismo takes 2.9 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h (a Formula 1 car takes 2.7 seconds, just like the Taycan Turbo S sedan), 6.2 seconds in the 0 - 160 km/h range, and 9.7 seconds in the 0 - 200 km/h range, with a top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited). Impressive, considering its weight is close to 2.4 tonnes.
