A couple of days ago I saw a Sport Turismo prototype at our university in Germany. Not the jacked-up Cross Turismo.
It quickly drove into a garage of some institute.
So there will be two versions, right? Cross Turismo and Sport Turismo.
It's gone now.
It was blurry footage of a white Taycan driving on a mountain pass. 1 minute long or so. You couldn't really see too many details but it looked very close to the pre-production models or the mules.
I think this will be the opinion of a lot of people after the reveal: a car that more closely resembles the Mission E would have been nice and it's a shame that Porsche toned down the exterior design. But the Taycan is an attractive car too.
Audi will use the J1-platform developed for the most part by Porsche for the e-tron GT. That car will be released in late 2020/early 2021.
Again, the J1-architecture and battery-tech etc has nothing to do with the current e-tron like you claimed in your first post.
Porsche and Audi will use a...
I don't think it makes much sense to speculate about the maximum range based on these images and the numbers displayed.
There are so many variables to take into consideration. How hard the car was driven and what driving mode was selected. In another image you can see that the SPORT-mode was...
I have no problem with Porsche using the Turbo-name for BEVs. It's a strong brand.
At this point people don't just associate a turbocharger with the "turbo"-model. I mean with a few exceptions all 911s are turbocharged.
Horsepower, acceleration/performance, visual differences etc are the...
It's 100% the same car/the same design in both photos.
The difference is the focal length of the lens the photographer used. A wide angle lens in the top image, a telephoto lens in the second one. There are no different body styles or fake panels imo.
Different focal length = different optical...
Not a lot of new information. Looks good and will drive better than all other BEVs.
The video should calm people down who still expect big design changes/different body panels etc though. That's not going to happen.
For me these new photos show the same cars we've seen for two months now. Same panels, everything.
lighting and perspective changes are the reason for a slightly different look.
Again....
I don't think it's cool that Porsche is using the Mission E to promote the Taycan just a few weeks before launch. This is at a pop-up showroom in London. The final production model will look quite a bit different and toned down.
