Porsche’s Tesla Killer

FIRST LOOK COMING IN LATE 2019

2018 GENEVA INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW

Elon will have to reckon with a new fast gun in town when it comes to battery-powered SUVs.

When Porsche brings its first pure electric vehicle to market in late 2019, it will bear a strong resemblance to the Mission E Cross Turismo unveiled at the Geneva auto show.

This is the second iteration of Porsche’s Mission E concept—which bowed in 2015 as a four-passenger sports car with suicide doors andThe Cross Turismo is a low-slung yet rugged four-passenger crossover, smaller than a Panamera but carrying the familiar Porsche roofline and haunches. The goal was to keep the Porsche DNA intact but make it blatantly obvious that this is an e-Porsche, a new creature on the road.
