How Porsche will take on the world’s fastest cars, and there electric

BY JEFFREY GIBBS

By challenging the quickest and costliest supercars globally is how this celebrated sports car manufacturer intends to succeed.

To mark its spectacular achievement of completing 75 years in business the manufacturer has created a futuristic “Mission X” prototype which alludes to an advanced highperformance electric vehicle.

Porsche has once again set its sights on exotic supercars with their latest offering which follows in the footsteps of their previous milliondollar cars.

The Rimac Nevera and Tesla Roadster are among other notable electric vehicles that would be accompanied by this addition.

According to Porsche’s chairman Oliver Blume, Mission X is a promising indication of how cutting-edge technology can shape up the new- age sports car. In his opinion, Mission X provides significant momentum to the future vehicle concept’s evolutionary journey.

Constantly changing has been the key to success for Porsche: Dreaming big and dreaming about cars have been our motivations.

The design of the Mission X features upward-swinging doors that pay homage to Porsche’s iconic Le Mans racers.

Additionally, elements present in the new interior such as cuttingedge high-performance seats and modern digital readouts may soon become standard features on upcoming production models.

The decision to mount a battery at the rear of the car delivers superior handling capability comparable to Porsche’s halo models with their mid-mounted engines.

The use of the Mission R electric concept car allowed for experimentation by Porsche There is no clear indication from the manufacturer that Mission X will be made available for sale.

The sports car maker has always firmly believed that futuristic concept vehicles pave the way for new advancements in technology and their newest study is proof of that belief.

Reading between the lines suggests that this isn’t a far-fetched thought.

Though unpublished are its technical specs at present but according to Porsche officials, their vision for Mission X is to make it number one in terms of speed among all road-legal vehicles driving on the famous track of Nurbugring Nordshleife.

A powerful punch can be expected from cars with horses as sturdy as their weight - based on the company’s claim regarding matching figures between these two elements, it can be inferred that in this particular example where we have a vehicle weighing around 1.5-tonne, it will possess approximately 1500-horsepower which is equivalent to about 1118kW.

The target is for it to take on charge twice as quickly as the Porsche Taycan can already manage.
