Windscreen wipers. Actual glass wing mirrors. Somewhere you could conceivably mount a number plate. Leaving off these tedious quotidian details is an easy short-cut to building glamour into a concept car. But their presence signifies something that"s actually even more exciting. They mean that this isn"t just eye-candy for a podium. They mean this is very close to something you"ll see on actual roads. And the Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo has them all. Not that this is exactly a production machine. A little decoding is necessary. Michael Mauer, Porsche design overlord, starts that process by telling Top Gear: "The proportions and dimensions give you a hint: this is more realistic than the first Mission E concept." In other words, the basic bodywork and interior here is pretty much as per the production Mission E saloon that"s launching next year. Its sightly shorter than a Panamera, and the electric platform is all-new.
