So for electric vehicle enthusiasts with a taste for adventure, Porsche had plans to tweak the formula, and have come up with this, the off-road capable Taycan Cross Turismo.

In this video, our video guy Ciro De Siena heads to a dirt oval racetrack just outside Cape Town to test out the Taycan’s “Gravel mode”.

With chunky tyres, all-wheel-drive and air suspension which creates a good deal more ground clearance, the Cross Turismo should be able to cope.

Even still, this could be one of the more curious reviews we’ve ever conducted.

Enjoy!
