Porsche now able to test virtual prototypes on the Nürburgring
- 5 years ago
Full speed into the future: After Porsche AG Supervisory Board approved series production of the Taycan Cross Turismo on 18 October, the development process has been taken up a gear.
The Cross Turismo will be Porsche's second electric-only vehicle after the Taycan, which is scheduled to launch at the end of 2019. The brand's engineers are using the most cutting-edge digital development methods, employing something known as virtual prototypes. These models make sure that a number of systems and components can be tested in a virtual environment at an early stage in the process. Extensive tests can also check these components in conjunction with other systems, even before any actual prototypes have been built. As a result, the development process for the new Taycan Cross Turismo will be quicker and more efficient. The virtual prototypes have completed more than ten million digital kilometres in total.
