The Porsche Mission X is the most recent step within the ongoing victory of EVs over ICE. From Teslas to cheap entry-level BYDs to tremendous and hypercars, it’s a shift as game-changing as when Dylan first strapped on a Stratocaster and let ‘er rip.
The Mission X is an ultra-lightweight hypercar, changing the 918 Spyder. Its mass is extremely centered behind the motive force (versus being below the passenger compartment) making it not solely depraved quick however agile, too. Its 1:1 energy/weight ratio units it as much as be considered one of if not the quickest manufacturing automotive ever, with a 0-60 MPH spring in lower than 2 seconds. Porsche claims it is going to be the quickest road-legal automobile on the Nürburgring’s well-known Nordschleife loop. That report, 6:35.18, is presently held by the Mercedes-AMG One, primarily;y a street-legal System One automotive.
Among the extra astonishing particulars:
– Energy: ~1,480 HP (estimated )– Uncommon poroportions: 14.8 ft lengthy however solely 3.9 ft tall;– Aerodynamic drag higher than the 911 GT3 RS– 1000+ kilos of down pressure from lively aero;– 900 V structure, (about half cost time in contrast of a Taycan Turbo S);– A number of Display screen for driver’s gauges, middle console and passenger.– Scissor-opening doorways
Costs haven’t been introduced but, however a restricted manufacturing run is anticipated to price within the 7 figures with supply round 2026.
Earlier Porsche hypercars had been equally restricted: The Porsche 959 (300 items from 1986 to 1993), the Carrera GT (1270 items), and Porsche 918 plug-in hybrid (918 items) all had been all low quantity productions.
It will be a shock if Porsche made greater than 1000 of those monsters.
