\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Driving cinematic content creation to a new <\/span><\/span>leveI<\/span><\/span>, it is the first time that an automotive brand released a campaign video captured entirely by a first-person view (FPV) drone in such challenging conditions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Two identical race tracks, one in the sandy desert in <\/span><\/span>Liwa<\/span><\/span> (UAE) and the other on a snow-blanketed frozen lake north of the Arctic <\/span><\/span>circle<\/span><\/span> in Levi (Finland), play host to the project, titled <\/span><\/span>Drive2Extremes<\/span><\/span>, which sees the <\/span><\/span>Taycan<\/span><\/span> Cross <\/span><\/span>Turismo<\/span><\/span> power between two contrasting worlds. Taking the viewer on this visual journey is the FPV drone videography of talented Johnny <\/span><\/span>Schaer<\/span><\/span>, heralded as one of the world\u2019s top drone pilots and better known as Johnny FPV.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nReflecting the nature of the <\/span><\/span>Taycan<\/span><\/span> Cross <\/span><\/span>Turismo<\/span><\/span>, the world\u2019s first <\/span><\/span>electric Cross Utility Vehicle<\/span><\/span>, the landmark hero film features <\/span><\/span>groundbreaking<\/span><\/span> FPV drone cinematography capturing epic driving moments, extreme landscapes and genuine, compelling human performances.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Key to the project\u2019s success and the visual appeal is the unique combination of exciting young talent. Drone innovator Johnny <\/span><\/span>Schaer<\/span><\/span>, and <\/span><\/span>Emmy<\/span><\/span>-award-winning director, Nicholas <\/span><\/span>Schrunk<\/span><\/span>, link <\/span><\/span>seemlessly<\/span><\/span>with professional racing driver and Porsche driving instructor, <\/span><\/span>Jukka<\/span><\/span>Honkavuori<\/span><\/span>, to create the world-merging edit, captured between the biting cold of Levi and the blistering heat of <\/span><\/span>Liwa<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Commenting on the project, Chief Executive Officer at Porsche Middle East and Africa FZE, Dr Manfred <\/span><\/span>Braeunl<\/span><\/span>, welcomed the launch video for the new <\/span><\/span>Taycan<\/span><\/span> Cross <\/span><\/span>Turismo<\/span><\/span>: \u201cInnovative, exciting, and bursting with Porsche DNA, this model proclaims \u2018adventure\u2019 and an \u2018active lifestyle\u2019. With this leading-edge production, we want to highlight the versatility and durability of the all-new <\/span><\/span>Taycan<\/span><\/span> Cross <\/span><\/span>Turismo<\/span><\/span> for a creative, ambitious and individual lifestyle.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With its off-road elements and benchmark performance, combined with typical Porsche comfort and innovative design, the <\/span><\/span>Taycan<\/span><\/span> Cross <\/span><\/span>Turismo<\/span><\/span> is the all-rounder among electric sports cars. <\/span><\/span>Three derivatives of the <\/span><\/span>Taycan<\/span><\/span> Cross <\/span><\/span>Turismo<\/span><\/span> are now available, all featuring the Performance Battery Plus as standard, offering up to 456 km of range from the 93.4 kWh <\/span><\/span>battery<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The <\/span><\/span>Taycan<\/span><\/span> 4 Cross <\/span><\/span>Turismo<\/span><\/span> generates <\/span><\/span>overboost<\/span><\/span> power of up to 350 kW (476 PS), accelerating from 0-100 km\/h in 5.1 seconds and has a top speed 220 km\/h, with the <\/span><\/span>Taycan<\/span><\/span> 4S Cross <\/span><\/span>Turismo<\/span><\/span> further in front.<\/span><\/span>The Turbo model is the most powerful of the three, delivering up to 500 kW (<\/span><\/span>680 PS) and accelerating from 0-100 km\/h in 3.3 seconds. Its top speed is 250 km\/h.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The new models feature all the assets of the <\/span><\/span>Taycan<\/span><\/span> sports saloon, including<\/span><\/span> the <\/span><\/span>800-volt architecture, two-speed transmission on the rear axle, and high recuperative power of up to 275 kW.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the new Cross <\/span><\/span>Turismo<\/span><\/span> range features more headroom for rear-seat passengers and a maximum luggage compartment capacity of over 1,200 litres loaded via the large tailgate.

\nDesign elements include special <\/span><\/span>wheelarch<\/span><\/span> trims, unique lower aprons at the front and rear as well as the side sills. The optional Off-Road design package increases ground clearance by up to 30 mm for more challenging off-road terrain. The standard \u201cGravel Mode\u201d improves the suitability of the new model for driving on rough roads. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Braeunl<\/span><\/span> is convinced that the <\/span><\/span>Taycan<\/span><\/span> Cross <\/span><\/span>Turismo<\/span><\/span> is an important addition to the brand\u2019s range: \u201cAlready, we have seen significant demand for the <\/span><\/span>Taycan<\/span><\/span> across the region and I expect the unique and adventurous Cross <\/span><\/span>Turismo<\/span><\/span> will add to that as we further extends the brand\u2019s already significant progress towards sustainable mobility.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span><\/span>Drive2Extremes<\/span><\/span> video is released on Porsche\u2019s official <\/span><\/span>YouTube<\/span><\/span><\/a>channel as well as on the Porsche Newsroom. Notably, beyond the one-of-a-kind hero video, a series of behind-the-scenes and explainer videos will take viewers deep into the distinctive production ensuring a wide range of interesting content that will be launched soon. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
