It’s not very often we get to see concepts from the Stuttgart-based brand. Meet the Porsche Mission X.

As far as concepts go, the Porsche Mission X ticks many of the boxes. Outrageous looks. Check. Scissor doors. Check. Lofty ambitions. Check.

It’s crazy to think the mighty Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid came out around a decade ago and together with the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1, set the benchmarks for hybrid high performance. Electrification tech has come a long way and now we have the Porsche Mission X concept and the brand has intentions of building it.

In Porsche’s own words; “Mission X is a spectacular reinterpretation of a hypercar, with Le Mans-style doors that open upwards to the front and a high-performance, efficient electric powertrain.” Sounds good, doesn’t it?

The German brand is not holding back when it comes to goals for the Porsche Mission X. It should be the fastest road-legal vehicle around the Nurburgring Nordschleife, feature a power-to-weight ratio of roughly 1 PS per kg, have more downforce than the current 911 GT3 RS and offer charging that’s twice as quick as the current Porsche Taycan Turbo S.

No information was released about the car’s powertrain, but we do know that it will be an all-electric setup, with the battery located centrally behind the vehicle’s seats giving it that mid-engined handling agility. Given Porsche’s business tie-ins with Rimac, we guess some tech from the Nevera would make its way into the Mission X.

Some interior pictures were released and the cabin looks futuristic and retro simultaneously. There are carbon-shell bucket seats and a nice blend of digital and analogue instrumentation.

Will the Porsche Mission X be built?

Well, it’s not officially been greenlit for production, Porsche is well aware that the game of hyper-performance motoring has shifted into the EV era and it’ll need to remain relevant if it wishes to remain a flagship performance brand.
