Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo: Porsche number two electric

after

Porsche announced that the Taycan would position itself as a competitor of Tesla's S model offered between Cayenne and Panamera and that it would therefore start at less than 90,000 euros, now give Zuffenhausen the green light for model number two. The study of the E Cross Turismo electric mission was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in the spring. In about two years, the 600 hp electric SUV should be ready for mbad production. For the manufacture of the vehicle, the sports car manufacturer creates 300 additional jobs at its headquarters in Zuffenhausen. On a technical level, the four-door Cross Turismo is closely linked to the Taycan and has a fast charging network, including an 800-volt architecture. In 2022, Porsche invests more than six billion euros in its internal electromobility.

"The E Cross Turismo Mission is on the J1 platform, so we were able to react quickly," said Stefan Weckbach, setting the parameters for the electric vehicle. The battery is located in the sill, which contributes to the center of gravity, which is lower than that of the 911 and produces an almost equal weight distribution. The two essential ingredients for agility

rolling stockThe fact that this E-descendant mission is also in the juice, becomes aware of the first kick. The needle flies quickly up to 100 km / h, so fast that escorted US policemen raised their eyebrows. The Porsche crossover will have at least 441 kW / 600 hp and will be in under 3.5 seconds from zero to one hundred. The juice should last more than 500 km, suggesting that batteries in which the cells of the bag are stuck have a capacity of at least 90 kilowatt hours. "We have imposed the toughest requirements for battery performance," said Stefan Weckbach, developer at Porsche.

Above all, the Porsche has to survive several tunes at full speed, without it being too hot the powertrain and the vehicle stretches the wheels of itself. "We have designed very complex cooling circuits for this purpose," explains the supervisor. The stability is certainly put to the test, even if we do not remove everything from the Cross Turismo in the rides. The suspension is based on that of the Panamera, is adapted to the higher weight and shows that the mantra "The E-Turismo is a Porsche, only with a different powertrain" are not empty words. Like Mission E, the SUV will have everything that makes the models fast with a clbadic transmission – from steering through the rear axle to precise steering through a well-balanced and stable brake .

Inside, the Cross Turismo offers more space than the Mission E and the instruments already give a very concrete view of the production model. "We are already pretty close to the hardware series, with about 80% of the software or the graphical user interface," said Gantimur Meissner, responsible for designing the user interface. So, in Mission E Cross Turismo, there will be a curved screen on which will be animated the famous round instruments Porsche. However, the central badog tachometer and dashboard are eliminated through two integrated 10.9-inch screens, one of which is suitable for the front pbadenger. He can watch movies or edit the navigation and transmit the application to the driver. Who can compose his screen, like the smartphone quite according to the tastes and the functioning works mainly by the voice. "It makes no sense to copy Apple, we look closely at the functions that are effective," says Meissner.

The driving modes are also based on those of the burners: "Normal", "

Porsche continues to focus on the Electromobility range the same as today's internal combustion engines, which means that the J1 evolutive platform also offers a variety of derivative products with different sizes and sizes. powers of battery the strands are possible. It is not going to stay with the two Taycan electric models and the production model of the yet untitled Cross Turismo. Finally, there are also gaps in diesel to fill.
