What is it?
A different kind of hybrid. This time it is not a blend of two different powertrains, but two different body styles.
Imagine you had a Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo but denuded it of all the plastic add on bits that make it look a little more rugged and then dropped its ride height back to that of a Porsche Porsche Taycan saloon – or whatever you want to call it. The result is the Sport Turismo.
So it’s either brilliant, combining the extra rear headroom and boot space of the Cross Turismo but much of the handling prowess of the saloon, or pointless as it’s not as practical as the Cross Turismo nor as dynamic as the saloon. It all depends on your perspective and, of course, whether you’ve tried one or not…
I was only allowed to drive the saloon GTS on the track, but only got to drive the Sport Turismo on the road and while I drove one minutes after the other, I could only write about it weeks later. Nope, me neither.

Yes please. I'd go with the red as well.
The red that they have launched these GTS versions in really quite striking. Great looking car
If only it were a little more compact... I am hoping the forthcoming e Macan will be usefully narrower, because a GTS version of that will probably be quite special.
Seems more like you want ground clearance than being compact. Why not wait for the electric Cayman in 2024/25 which is even more compact?
