    Porsche Confirms Production For Mission E Cross Turismo

    This year’s Geneva Auto Show saw the unveiling of Porsche’s new all-electric crossover called the Cross Turismo. While the car showcased was merely a concept, Porsche has now confirmed that the EV off-roader has been given the green light for production.

    The news follow spy shots of what appears to be a Porsche wagon or shooting brake hit the net a few days ago. It is said that the company recently held a high-rank meeting where the idea of an all-electric wagon was given the go ahead. Although not clear when the Cross Turismo will arrive, the news confirms rumours from earlier this year suggesting that the Porsche Cross Turismo is set to hit production in 2021.

    Porsche’s Cross Turismo concept was revealed with a pair of electric motors with a combined power output that’s over 600 hp (440 kW). The EV was said to hit 100 km/h from rest in just 3.5 seconds while top speed is expected to be in excess of 250 km/h. The wagon rides on Porsche’s fast-charging 800-volt architecture. Examined by the NEDC, the battery pack is good for a range of 500 kilometres between two charges. A single charge of just 4 minutes offers up to 100 km.

    In addition to the 1,200 jobs that Porsche is creating in assembling the Taycan starting from next year, the automaker says it will hire over 300 employees to aid in production of the Cross Turismo.

    Speaking of the Taycan, there are suspicions that Porsche is planning two variants of the model, of which one could be the mule that was spotted recently. It’s either that or the wagon was cunningly hiding the rugged cues of the Cross Turismo.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
