This is a big year for Porsche as it celebrates its 75th anniversary. On this occasion, the Stuttgart-based company presented a new concept, the Mission X, as the successor to the Porsche 918 Spyder.
An electric super sports two-seater has been unveiled at the Porsche Museum, presenting a glimpse into the world of super sports cars powered only by electric motors. Although not confirmed, some rumors say that the Mission X will have 1,500 hp (1,103 kW). If true, it will be interesting to see how fast it will be on one of the best race tracks in the world, the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The current record holder among electric cars is the Tesla Model S Plaid, which dethroned another Porsche car, the Taycan Turbo S.
The car is equipped with a carbon body with retro LED headlights, LED rear light housings and doors like those on the racing prototypes. There is also an adaptive suspension, significantly better cornering grip, and a multifunctional steering wheel. It’s mounted on 20- and 21-inch wheels wrapped in 255/35/20 front and 315/20/21 rear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 R tires.
Definitely, the new era of electric Porsche cars is well underway, and the Mission X could represent the continuation of what Porsche cars like the 959, Carrera GT and 918 Spyder were.
