Porsche AG CEO Oliver Blume said that the debut of this Taycan Cross Turismo will be postponed to early 2021 instead of this year.
According to Oliver Blume, "The postponement of the announcement of this Taycan Turismo is not bad for Porsche at all, it is just an optimization of the cycle plan."
"Porsche is confidently looking to the future," Porsche said, even under the various circumstances of the coronavirus so far, more than any other European carmaker in the first half of this year. It is mentioned that it was possible to make a profit.
By the way, one of the major reasons for making this profit was the recovery of demand in China.
