With the Taycan sedan now already released, and a cross-SportTurismo version already shown in concept car form, the idea of a SportTurismo version of the Zuffenhausen’s electric car was probably a foregone conclusion. Even still, seeing it out and about in test mule form doesn’t disappoint.
The idea is pretty simple here. It may be called “SportTurismo”, but that’s basically Porsche-speak for station wagon. And, while wood-panel station wagons of yore weren’t exactly the sexiest things ever offered, more modern additions to the car market like he Audi RS 6 Avant also help put the body style in perspective – a low center of gravity re-think to the uber popular SUV/crossover body style.
Taycan rolls on the Volkswagen Group’s Porsche-developed sport-luxury minded J1 architecture. That’ll also underpin the upcoming Audi e-tron GT when it comes out, and it’s rumored to also underpin the Bentley EXP 100 GT concept car… and likely forthcoming Bentley EV offering(s).
Expect likely exact same drivetrain / power / range offerings as the Taycan sedan. Thus far that means the questionably named Turbo S and the more aptly named 4S. Power and prices range accordingly.
