The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Grand Marshal samples the most powerful Porsche Cross Turismo variant on the famous hill climb<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nThe Grand Marshal for the 2023 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb was five-time winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona, three-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and two-time winner of the 12 Hours of Sebring, Hurley Haywood. As Grand Marshal, one of his responsibilities was to take a Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo up the mountain for an exhibition run.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a first for me, and a lot of fun. I was not getting close to what the car was capable of, but it was a lot of fun and required some recalibration on my part. Normally, when you\u2019re at those altitudes, you expect reduced performance, but \u2013 of course \u2013 the thin air didn\u2019t affect the Taycan at all,\u201d said Haywood. \u201cIt didn\u2019t put a wheel wrong \u2013 I could actually feel the clever rear axle steering doing its job \u2013 it made the Taycan cut right through all the tight switchbacks. It made me want to have another go \u2013 but push a bit harder this time!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Taycan Cross Turismo features a powerful 800-volt powertrain, allowing exhilarating performance. It embodies the ideal combination of cutting-edge technology, blistering performance, and everyday usability.<\/p>\n

Pikes Peak International Hill Climb has a long-standing tradition of attracting top-notch drivers and highlighting innovation in the automotive industry. Combining the event\u2019s rich heritage with the presence of Hurley Haywood and the Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo was a natural connection.<\/p>\n

The Taycan Cross Turismo itself is no stranger to the mountain \u2013 one of America\u2019s highest accessible points \u2013 having completed a 1,400 mile journey ending at Pikes Peak previously which began at one of the lowest elevations in the US \u2013 the bottom of a mine \u2013 travelling between the two to achieve a Guinness World Record for the greatest altitude change set by an electric car.<\/p>\n
