Porsche’s new Mission X concept is a bubbly, all-electric hypercar

Porsche made its debut new mission x on thursday It’s a fully electric concept car that it calls a “conceptual reinterpretation” of the hypercar. Like the Porsche 918 Spyder, it’s a squat, compact affair with bubbly fenders, but where the Spyder has been toned down somewhat, the Mission X leans into its chunky corner details, instead making it a bulk of the design. which extends to the ceiling.

Porsche says the battery, if the car were to go into production, would feature a 900-volt system architecture and charge about twice as fast as the Taycan Turbo S. It says that its power-to-weight ratio is about one hp. 2.2lbs per, and claims it will be “the fastest road-legal vehicle around the Nürburgring Nordschleife” – this time, the distinction Mercedes-AMG One,

All retro-future jet planes are found inside it. It has a steering yoke instead of a wheel and the rest of the interior looks to have been pulled straight from 80s sports car design, all straight lines, hard angles and flat surfaces. In the passenger seat dash, there is a modular attachment area that features a stopwatch module that includes both analog and digital displays for tracking lap times or “driver’s vital data”.

At the rear, the “Porsche” badges and red LED strips really pop out of the car, giving it a 3D effect that’s very designer-y.

Finally, the heart of the car is beating. Porsche placed the battery bank in the middle of the car, right behind the seats, referring to it as the “E-Cor layout”, similar to traditional mid-engine car designs.
