Waiting for the ELECTRIC Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo to jump in to an EV? You’ll need to wait a bit longer.
The electric Porsche Taycan is supposed to be getting a sister model with the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, but it’s been pushed back to 2021.

Despite the huge problems the Covid-19 pandemic has wrought on the car industry, Porsche has posted a profit of £1.1 billion for the first half of 2020.

New Porsche 911 Turbo ARRIVES – because a 911 Turbo S is too much, and a Carrera 4S not enough
The new Porsche 911 Turbo arrives to fill the gap in the 992 line-up between the 911 Turbo S and 911 Carrera 4S. Costs from £134,400.
