There’s plenty of resistance to electrifying sports cars, so Porsche’s first electric model had to be pretty good, or the manufacturer would be (rightly) mocked for making a half-assed effort. Happily, the Taycan - first unveiled in 2019 - proved to be spectacularly good, although few wouldn’t argue that it needed to be a little more practical.
This brings us to the Taycan Sport Turismo. A Taycan on growth hormones, sharing the same wheelbase and body length as the regular sports saloon but extending the roof to create something that sits between a hatchback and an estate model.
And it does that, Porsche says, without compromising performance. We fire up the Taycan — well, switch it on — and find out if that’s true.
