On Thursday, Porsche unveiled its latest creation, the Mission X, which is an all-electric concept car.
Described as a "conceptual reinterpretation" of a hypercar, the Mission X shares some design elements with the Porsche 918 Spyder but with a more pronounced and chunky appearance. It features unique corner details that extend to the roof, giving it a distinct look.
Porsche claims that if the Mission X were to be produced, it would come with a 900-volt battery system architecture, allowing for twice as fast charging as the Taycan Turbo S. The car boasts an impressive power-to-weight ratio of approximately one horsepower per 2.2 pounds and aims to become the fastest road-legal vehicle to conquer the Nürburgring Nordschleife, a title currently held by the Mercedes-AMG One.
One of the notable design features of the Mission X is its upward-sweeping doors, creating an open-air experience when entering the vehicle. From the front, the car resembles a scarab beetle. The two-seater concept has a compact wheelbase similar to the 918 Spyder, measuring just 107.4 inches. The tires are staggered for aerodynamic purposes, with 20-inch wheels in the front and 21-inch wheels in the rear.
Inside the Mission X, the interior design blends retro-futuristic elements with a jet plane aesthetic. It features a steering yoke instead of a traditional wheel and sports a 1980s-inspired design with straight lines, sharp angles, and flat surfaces. The passenger seat dash includes a modular attachment area with a stopwatch module displaying lap times and essential driver data.
At the rear, the "PORSCHE" badge and red LED strips protrude from the car's surface, creating a 3D effect. The battery bank is positioned in the middle of the car, behind the seats, following a mid-engine layout, which Porsche refers to as an "e-core layout."
Porsche's previous electric concept, the "Mission E," was introduced in 2015 and eventually evolved into the production model known as the Porsche Taycan.
