From the July 2007 issue of Car and Driver.
We have here a trio of extraordinary automobiles that defy convenient semantic packaging. Sports cars? Yes, but that s pretty tame. After all, a Mazda Miata is a sports car, too, and we re obviously
way beyond Miatas here. Supercars? That doesn t really work, either, because what about
genuine supercars the Koenigsegg CCX, for example, or the Ferrari Enzo. If we call the Audi R8 a supercar, what do we call
them? Superdupercars? Same problem with the word exotic. If a Bugatti Veyron is an exotic and who would argue otherwise? then an Aston Martin is a subexotic? What would James Bond have to say about that? Not that his opinion counts, since the last movie made it clear he shouldn t drive anything faster than a Toyota Prius.

Porsche has finally unveiled the Taycan Cross Turismo, some three years after its concept was first shown to the world. In these pictures, the shooting brake body style is well proportioned and looks utterly stunning. Who said they couldn’t do better than the Panamera Sport Turismo?
The new electric GT is defined by its falling roofline, which Porsche designers call the “flyline.” It also gets black-painted body cladding to accentuate the practical aspects of the car. If you hadn’t noticed, Porsche has done a lot of dirt driving with the Taycan Cross Turismo (evidenced by the press photos you see below), and there’s even a bespoke Porsche bike carrier designed just for it. More on these, below.
