Auto Zürich: Porsche triad for powertrains
AS IT HAPPENS The 34th edition of Auto Zürich opens its doors from November 4 to 7, 2021. Porsche will present several new models at the show and showcase the triad of available drive technologies.
Highlights on the stand in Hall 1 are the Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, the Porsche Panamera 4S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo and the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS.
Test drives a real added value for visitors
In addition to the classic trade show visit, visitors can also book test drives with electric vehicles from various brands via the trade show website. Porsche is making the Taycan Turbo and the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo available for this purpose.
Michael Glinski, CEO Porsche Schweiz AG: "The last Auto Zürich was already two years ago, so we are all the more pleased to be able to present our new products to visitors in Zurich. The possibility of test drives is a real added value for visitors. Anyone who has never driven a Taycan can see for themselves on site how we interpret electromobility and implement it in typical Porsche fashion."
The 911 GTS is shown in the convertible variant
One of the five available GTS variants of the 911 is on display on the highlight platform of the Porsche stand: the 911 Targa 4 GTS (gallery on the right). With a 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, it produces up to 353 kW. The 911 GTS is available as a Targa with iconic bar and glass dome roof, as well as a Cabriolet and Coupé. Customers can also choose between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive for the Coupé and Cabriolet.
The all-electric all-rounder Taycan 4 Cross Turismo is also among the models on display. In the new Cross Turismo body variant, the Taycan's new high-tech chassis with all-wheel drive and adaptive air suspension ensures dynamism even off paved roads.
Panamera E-Hybrid, Cayman GTS and new Macan
Porsche is also showing the Panamera 4S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo (center gallery), the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and the new Macan GTS (left gallery) at the show.
Auto Zürich was last held in 2019 and attracted almost 60,000 visitors. At that time, the first purely electric sports car from the Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer celebrated its Swiss trade show premiere.
