Porsche Taycan on an adventure with a special roof tent

If you want to go on an adventure with a Porsche, the 911 Dakar unveiled last week may be the best option, but you can also escape the crowds with less off-road-worthy Porsches. The manufacturer recently presented a roof tent for various models and with the Taycan Cross Turismo it has now been tested in practice. A influencer who normally crosses the US in a 996 with a roof top tent was one of the lucky ones. He got to spend the night in the new tent on the roof of a Taycan Cross Turismo in the hills of Southern California. In any case, it produces some nice pictures.

With its optional roof rails, the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo lends itself well to a trip with the roof tent, but the tent also fits models that do not have roof rails. It also fits the 911, Macan, Cayenne and Panamera. Once set up there is room for two adults. You then have a surface of 2.58 m by 2.57 m and the tent is 1.18 m high. The maximum permitted weight is 190 kilos if you have roof rails, without roof rails the limit is 140 kilos. In the latter case, you have to be fairly small if you want to go in with two. There is no serious tearing if the tent is mounted on the roof, because driving faster than 130 km/h (with the tent folded of course) is not the intention. The roof tent costs roughly €5,000.
