PORSCHE LAUNCHES TAYCAN SPORT TURISMO
Porsche has extended the Taycan model range with the launch of the Taycan Sport Turismo, joining the Cross Turismo to add a third choice for enthusiasts of the world-leading all-electric sports car.
The new model is designed to ‘appeal to drivers who want to combine the versatility of the Taycan Cross Turismo with the on-road dynamics of the Taycan sports saloon.’
The UK is the German manufacturers fourth-largest market globally with the Taycan accounting for nearly a third of overall new Porsche registrations in the UK in 2021.
The new Taycan Sport Turismo will be available in five variants with both all-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive versions represented in the range. The Taycan Sport Turismo is equipped with a 326 PS (321 bhp) electric drivetrain while the top-of-the-range Turbo S Sport Turismo will have a performance to match its sports saloon cousin with a 0 – 62 mph time of 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 162 mph.
“The introduction of the Sport Turismo as the third body variant adds an athletic and practical all-rounder to our electric sports car model range,” said Porsche Vice President Kevin Giek. “I am certain that the new car will continue the Taycan success story. The balance and variety among the five Sport Turismo models is something that I find particularly appealing: the range features everything from an incredibly agile rear-wheel drive car to the extremely powerful Turbo S.”
The Taycan Sport Turismo is scheduled to arrive in UK Porsche Centres from May.
