The Porsche Taycan after that of the four-door coupe and the allterrain Cross Turismo also completes the ranks of the Sport Turismo. In practice, it is the Taycan that is a bit of a station wagon but which, like all the others, comes in a very articulated range. Porsche’s first electric car in Italy is available in a total of fourteen versions. Also in the case of the Sport Turismo the offer starts from the single-engine variant with 326 horsepower proposed at 94,000 euros and then moves on to the twin-engine 4S all-wheel drive with 489 horsepower, Gts with 517 horsepower, Turbo with 625 horsepower and, finally, to its extreme. Turbo S evolution for sale at 197,000 euros, which unloads 761 horses thanks to the overboost function.
Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo Turbo S, la quasi wagon con outfit high-performances
The Sport Turismo is basically the Taycan that makes the station wagon. This new format stems from the opposite procedure from the one that normally originates the allterrain version. In fact, the Sport Turismo is nothing more than a Cross Turismo deprived of off-road body protections replaced on the Sport Turismo Turbo S by stylistic features and colors typical of the most performing Porsche. Obviously, it also has a lowered set-up, indeed very lowered and with a specific calibration of the adaptive air suspension. In the passenger compartment of the Sport Turismo Turbo S, the furniture, the finish and the very extensive digitization accompanied by many tactile keys, not all practical to use, are those of the other Taycans, while as on the Cross Turismo the rear area is more functional and comfortable than in that of the sedan-coupé thanks to the horizontal layout of the pavilion which facilitates accessibility and ensures greater availability of height space for passengers. On the other hand, this Taycan does not offer much greater loading possibilities than those of the 488-door four-door coupe. In fact, the minimum boot capacity is always 446 liters, so you can count on more combinations and more load capacity (up to 1,200 liters) only when you can fold the rear seat. In addition, inside the front hood there is an 84-liter cockpit, useful for storing the charging cables.
Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo Turbo S, a synthesis of sophisticated technologies
The powerful powertrain pushes the Turbo S up to 260 per hour and reaches the 100 hour mark in 2 “8 by exploiting the overboost of the launch control function, which not only determines a power of 761 horsepower but also a torque that reaches 1,050 Nm . The system also forms a continuously variable electric all-wheel drive system and is combined with a gearbox that uses two ratios when working the one on the rear axle and one only for the front, which in practice only works with the most eco-friendly car configuration. -friendly and Normal. Power is supplied by a 93.4 kWh lithium-ion battery integrated into an 800 V network, which is recharged in 9 hours with 11 kW alternating current, with 50 kW direct current from 5 to 80% in an hour and a half and to 270 kW in half an hour. As for autonomy, Porsche declares that it can reach 460 kilometers, but as always, it all depends on how much the accelerator is pressed. And the Turbo S doesn’t do much to keep it from being pressed very often and willingly.
Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo Turbo S, city car and supercar in one fell swoop
From the very first approach, the Turbo S inspires the feeling of being a Doc GT, despite the fact that with the most eco-friendly mode in traffic it moves silently and offers high comfort, thanks to the softer calibration of the electronic suspension. Its real temper emerges with the Sport and even more overwhelmingly with the Sport +, with which the reactivity of the powertrain impresses in the blink of an eye the breathtaking performance promised by its identity card, which makes the “synthetic” tone take second place. that accompanies them. Especially since the behavior given by the suspension setting, the four-wheel drive and the four-wheel steering counteracts the effects of mass (2,300 kg) and dimensions, making driveability very fun and reassuring even when cornering. In these situations it is more agile than you might think, despite the length of almost 5 meters and is rigorous. Characteristic impressed both by the low center of gravity and the weight equally distributed on the two axles and by the speed with which the four-wheel drive distributes traction, which can even assign it totally to the rear. In short, it always behaves homogeneously and is kept at bay, in case of need, without nervous crises emerging, especially as even by exploiting suddenly the power and the instant torque with the sportiest car configuration the exact wheels always arrive gradually. “Charge” required.
