More than a year into this pandemic, we take another look at what’s new and exciting for automotive consumers over the next few months. Last week we previewed the new car models that will draw the most attention. This week, our second stop: electric vehicles.

Porsche stepped with a splash into the EV segment in 2020 with the Taycan. Before the end of this year, another Taycan will join the festivities: the Taycan Cross Turismo, a wagon variant designed to go be family-friendly while prepared to head off the beaten path. Now, it's not as well-equipped as the Cayenne, but with adjustable ground clearance, this purely electric wagon is sure to please outdoor enthusiasts.

Audi, meanwhile, has unveiled its e-tron GT lineup, the sedan-coupe that borrows its mechanicals innards from the Porsche Taycan. Available in regular and RS trim, the newcomer sends a clear message that the four-ring manufacturer is also ono board the electric mobility train.

The regular Audi e-tron GT delivers 469 hp (or 522 hp with overdrive) or 590 hp (or 637 hp with overdrive), with a 0-100 km/h time of 3.3 seconds in the RS version. That's, uh, fast.
