Looking at the configurator, I have noticed some variances in the max power output for comparable trim levels between Taycan sedan, Cross Turismo, and the Sport Turismo.

For instance,

Model and hpSedanCross TurismoSport Turismo
4n.a.476n.a
4S530571530
GTS598n.a598
Turbo680680680

The Cross Turismo seems to get a better power rating than the Sedan and Sport Tursimo. In fact the CT4 has almost as much power as the 4S Sedan and ST. The CT4S has 41 hp more than equivalent models from the rest of the range. Yet the acceleration 0-100 kmh of the CT4S is 4.1 sec to 100kmh, or 0.1s slower than for the sedan and the Sport Turismo. the CT and ST weigh almost the same so that isn't explained by weight.

Any idea why Porsche has not equivalent power ratings? Is the CT somewhat sandbagged not to trouble the regular sedan?

The power rating for the sedan and the sport turismo are with the small battery, which is not an option on the cross turismo. If you add the performance battery plus option, you get the same power rating in SS and ST as in CT.
