Porsche has unveiled a striking new electric hypercar – the Mission X.
Designed to continue the theme set by iconic Porsche models of the past like the 959, Carrera GT and 918 Spyder, the Mission X measures in at 4.5 metres long and has doors that open upwards and forward like a Le Mans racer.
There’s also a motorsport-inspired open-top steering wheel that includes all key mode switches and shift paddles. Plus, an in-car controller allows the driver to record from a number of cameras located across the car.
Porsche has said that if the Mission X enters production, it aims to be the fastest road-legal vehicle to tackle the famous Nurburgring and to have downforce ‘in excess’ of that delivered by the current 911 GT3 RS. It’s also set to have a faster charging time than the road-going Taycan Turbo S, which can already go from 10 to 80 per cent charge in as little as 25 minutes.
