Porsche Cross Turismo for productiuon

The Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo has been given the green light for production, writes Brian Byrne.

The all-electric sports car, which was debuted as a concept, will follow the Taycan electric car (below) introduced just over a week ago.

The four-door Cross Turismo will offer 600hp of system performance with acceleration to 100km/h in 3.5s capability.

The 800-volt electrical architecture will allow it connection to a fast-charging network, with a suggested 500km range (it WLTP terms, probably 400km). Charging time on a suitable network will give 400km range in 15 minutes.

Porsche has committed to having half of the cars it sells after 2025 to be fully electric.
