AN ADVENTURE. A CHALLENGE. EXPEDITION PORSCHE TAYCAN CROSS TURISMO BRAZIL

All electric: From Iguazu Falls to Jericoacoara, the Kitesurfing Mecca of Brazil – more than 9,000 km through rain, mud and lots of dust, passing through 14 states, the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is the first electric car to have crossed Brazil from the South to the Northeast. An expedition filled with incredible landscapes and remote places to find out what this 100 % electric powered car is capable of. In the end of this unprecedented adventure, Duotone pro riders Reno Romeu and Mikaili Sol took the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo for a ride through the Dunes of Jericoacoara and the region around to put it through its paces. Together they went looking for unexplored spots to kite which you can only reach with a 4 x 4 car.

MIKAILI SOL

It was down right one of the most thrilling experiences I’ve ever had. I was mind blown to the fact of having a fully electric car that not only has an immense milage range but is also 4 x 4. Going to the beach with the Porsche Taycan and just feeling that constant rush of adrenaline running through my veins motivated me to be even more amped on and off the water.

The fact that the same power that pulls our kites and makes us fly so high can charge this car in matters of minutes is what appealed to me the most. More and more nowadays, we have to look into how to prevent the pollution of the world, and I think this right here is the new future.
