CAN YOU HAVE too much of a good thing? Porsche doesn’t seem to think so – it’s now added a third body style to the Taycan electric performance car range.
The Taycan Sport Turismo combines the practicality of the estate-like Cross Turismo with the more road-focused four-door coupé version. And it could be the best of both worlds.
The Sport Turismo gives you the added boot space and rear-seat headroom of the Cross Turismo, but not it's 20mm higher ride height or rugged exterior cladding. But there’s more.
