Porsche Looking at More Taycan Variants, Including a 2-Door Convertible Version

This week the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo version rolled across computer and smartphone screens for the first time, but it’s clear that the German automaker is likely not done birthing other variants of the popular performance EV.

Porsche is also said to be considering developing a low-slung estate version, essentially an all-electric counterpart to the Panamera Sport Turismo.

“…the platform is perfect for future additional product ideas, and we are thinking in different directions.”
