Porsche has made sure the new Taycan Cross Turismo gets plenty of press coverage as it adds a potentially more daily driveable model to the brand's growing EV lineup. Magnus Walker has been driving one around Los Angeles recently, and now, a new video from the Porsche YouTube channel features Formula E driver Andre Lotterer piloting the Taycan through the city streets of Monaco on a familiar route that despite everyday traffic visible normally, serves as the circuit for the F1 Grand Prix as well as the Formula E track.

A Legendary Road In A Legendary City

Monaco's attractive coastline and legendary status as the site of famous motorsport competition has led Lotterer to call the city his home base for the past ten years, though he races on a Belgian license for Germany as part of the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E team. In this video, he gives an overview of the circuit from behind the wheel of the Taycan Cross Turismo, starting at the famous start-finish line and navigating through traffic in about a ten-minute lap, which should translate to about a 1:30-1:34 lap in a Formula E racer.

Each Turn Along The Way

Lotterer looks forward to the Formula E race start, walking viewers through every single turn in Monaco, starting with the first right-hander only 150 meters from pole position. One interesting detail that Lotterer does discuss has to do with energy consumption and regeneration—for Formula E drivers as well as Taycan owners, each uphill means more draw on batteries, while descents translate to gaining or saving a bit of power.

Camber And Smooth Pavement, Not Off-Roading

Despite the Taycan's impressive regen system, as Bill Nye the Science Guy recently explained for Porsche, Lotterer still knows that, "You never save as much going down the hill as you consume going up the hills." But he looks to have a smooth ride in the Taycan, which offers hundreds of miles of estimated range—of course, when accelerating like Lotterer would in his racecar, the Taycan's range would shrink massively, as well. Other little details that stand out for the experienced driver include racing in a tunnel, the chicanes, and the road surface, which is so smooth because it is repaved regularly. For the Taycan Cross Turismo, which has a higher ride height than the standard Taycan, the road looks smoother than smooth.
